Creator's Key Takeaways

I was recently on an Ultra Luxury Cruise Line and I realized being able to afford to go on one does not mean you should in fact I saw it could be one of the worst cruising decisions ever

the first and simplest of course was my bill at the end was Zero as all the extras were in the fair

the second difference was having a much smaller cabin for the price

the most significant difference I experienced was service right across the ship in every single Department

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare total costs including extras between ultra-luxury and mainstream suite options
Consider if you prefer a smaller, more intimate ship experience or a larger ship with more activities
Choose based on destination and trip purpose, as nightlife may be less important on some itineraries

YouTube Video Description

Realising it costs the same to cruise in a suite on most “regular” cruise lines (like Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and so on) as it does to cruise on an ultra-luxury line (like Regent, Seabourn & Silversea), I look at which is better and why. And when you should stick on a "mainstream" line rather than go on an "ultra-luxury" cruise line.
