5 CRUISES TO NEVER TAKE *avoid or risk disappointment*

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a guide on five specific types of cruises that travelers might want to avoid to prevent disappointment. First, she discusses repositioning cruises, noting that while they offer low prices, they often involve excessive sea days and rougher waters. Second, she advises against short sailings of two to four nights because they often utilize older ships and attract a loud party crowd. Third, the video suggests avoiding inaugural sailings due to potential delays and the fact that crew members are still learning the ship's systems. Fourth, the creator warns against booking cruises at the very beginning or end of a season, particularly in weather dependent destinations like Alaska where excursions may be canceled. Finally, she strongly recommends avoiding cruises scheduled just before a ship enters dry dock, as maintenance may be neglected and the atmosphere can become hectic. She suggests asking travel agents about a ship's dry dock schedule to ensure a better experience.
