Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise reviews are a mess. If you've spent any time online reading various cruise reviews and going through forums and different websites, you're going to see a variety of different opinions.

The first is the overreactor. It's the they didn't have Dr. Pepper on the ship, one star.

I ignore one-star and five-star reviews. I go straight for the two through four-star reviews to see what the people in the middle are saying.

We have been on about 104 cruises over the last decade and out of 104 we have been invited on board less than 10 times.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Ignore one-star and five-star reviews; focus on two through four-star reviews.
โœ“Look for patterns in complaints rather than one-off issues.
โœ“Sort reviews by most recent to get current experiences.
โœ“Trust reviews from cruisers with multiple cruise lines and diverse experiences.
โœ“Look for content creators who provide both pros and cons lists.

Number one way to save money is not getting scammed by trying to save money or purchase products from untrusted sources. Are cruise passengers easy targets as travelers? Should you take the word of fellow cruisers onboard cruise ships? Should you experience the local customs and culture while in another country as a tourist? What do you do when you donโ€™t know the language when traveling to another country? Is international travel safe? This is the latest cruise news in tandem across the cruise industry where all cruise lines are making cruise cutbacks for cruise passengers onboard cruise ships during 2024 and we were surprised by what cruisers are falling for, getting scammed while reading and watching cruise reviews and itโ€™s affecting cruisers while onboard their Cruise Ship! What do cruise ships do with passengers who are not aware of their surroundings while at sea? How do Cruise Ship Crew handle these naive cruise passengers? Are cruise ship passengers okay with cruise lines going to unique cruise ports and experiencing local cultures? We talk through verified experiences of Cruise Passengers getting scammed by cruise reviews and tell you the best steps to save money and catch Dishonest Cruise Reviews before they influence you to waste money on a bad cruise experience or a nightmare cruise. This could happen to you while preparing for your cruise or onboard all Cruise Ships including the worlds largest cruise ship Star of the Seas or soon to be Legend of the Seas Cruise Ship 2026, and even the worlds smallest cruise ships.
