Creator's Key Takeaways

Most of the fights and general wildness happen on shorter cruises.

The shorter cruises tend to have much more of a party atmosphere, which is conducent to more wild behavior.

Fewer crowds on board leads to a more relaxing vacation and less chaos.

Most cruise ships have at least one or two adults only areas, and those tend to be a lot less chaotic than the main pool decks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a cruise that is at least seven days or more.
✓Find hidden spots on your cruise ship to just chill and relax away from all the crowds.
✓Avoid themed cruises or holiday cruises as these can be a lot more crowded and get a lot more wild.
