8 Cruises To Avoid | You'll Regret Booking These

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators identify several types of cruises that travelers should avoid to prevent regret or logistical difficulties. They advise against transatlantic repositioning cruises traveling from the US to Europe due to the difficulty of adjusting to losing an hour every day. They also warn against inaugural cruises, noting they are often more expensive and carry a higher risk of cancellation if the ship is not ready. Spring break cruises are highlighted as potentially chaotic due to crowded ships and bad behavior. For those sailing in the Caribbean, the creators recommend avoiding hurricane season between August 15 and October 15 to prevent missed ports or cancellations. Regarding Alaska, they suggest avoiding the very beginning or end of the season to escape extreme cold and recommend staying in the Inside Passage to minimize seasickness. Similarly, they advise against Pacific cruises during the winter months. For transpacific voyages, they suggest sailing from the US to Japan to manage time changes more effectively. Finally, they suggest choosing specific lines like Virgin, Holland America, or Princess if travelers wish to avoid cruises with many children.
