I Took the Cheapest All Inclusive Cruise - I’m Still Thinking About It

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reviews an all-inclusive cruise on a smaller, older vessel operated by a British cruise line. Sailing to the Canary Islands in February, the traveler highlights the convenience of the package, which includes flights, transfers, tips, and alcohol. The experience focuses on the ship's unique character, such as life-size plastic animals in the atrium and a variety of dining options like the Glass House pool restaurant and a buffet with detailed allergen markings. While the ship shows some signs of age, including inconsistent Wi-Fi and occasional scuffs, the creator notes the crew is friendly and the atmosphere is casual. The trip includes visits to ports like Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and Funchal. The creator also discusses the benefits of upgrading to a premium drinks package to avoid poor quality fountain soda and notes the ease of the British-style trivia and dining. Ultimately, the creator concludes that despite paying more than the initial advertised price due to upgrades, the total cost provided good value for the inclusive amenities provided.
