Creator's Key Takeaways

I think what's interesting with Celebrity is it's hard to say what do they really stand out because they're not bad at anything.

In terms of the best enrichment talks without a shadow of a doubt is Kunard. That is kind of their absolute signature.

I would now I first of all I'd say you know I'm not a finance insurance expert but what I do know from everyone that I followed and looked at... never take the ship's insurance.

The Haven, bearing in mind this is a premium experience, is they have exactly the same menu for the whole cruise and it doesn't change and it's not a particularly exciting menu.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Avoid the Mediterranean in July and August due to extreme heat and crowds; June and September are better.
βœ“Never take the cruise line's insurance; always use an independent provider for better coverage and cost.
βœ“When booking solo on Celebrity, wait for 'second person discount' promotions to mitigate high solo supplements.

Mediterranean heat and crowds β€” Avoid July/August; aim for June or September for better weather and fewer crowds.
