Creator's Key Takeaways

We have been on 147 cruises. Uh, we've been on 43 different cruise lines and 116 different ships.

We come at everything from the perspective of an adult couple traveling as a couple.

Crystal Serenity is certainly one of our top five favorite ships.

Viking Ocean. I think if we were forced to pick one cruise line that we could only sail on that cruise line for a year or two...

Check out the video reviews on the channel for each of the top five ships.
