Creator's Key Takeaways

this experience ranks as the worst cruise we have ever had

we were sadly bombarded by crew trying to get us to buy a drinks package literally everyone we walked by asked us

we waited an hour and 45 minutes for a seat for dinner truly unacceptable

I had to go back to reception three separate times to sort this out

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check muster drill procedures before booking
Ask about menu availability and drink package policies

YouTube Video Description

You know I am usually very positive and try my absolute best to enjoy my holidays (obviously, otherwise what's the point?) but my patience was definitely tested on these 3 cruises at times! Here are my worst 3 cruise experiences over the last 15 years. I know some of this will be controversial, but hey, these are real experiences and we all experience things differently. Have you sailed any of these lines / ships and what were your experiences? Or maybe you have sailed a different line / ship and had poor experiences? Drop your stories below! In the meantime, I think 3 dodgy cruises out of over 50 isn't too bad :D Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on notifications for my bi-weekly cruise vlogs!
