Creator's Key Takeaways

Modern ships can be floating playgrounds. From Virgin Voyages, adult only parties to Royal Caribbean surf simulators and water parks.

Modern ships use massive stabilizers that keep the ride incredibly smooth. Most of the time, you won't even feel the ship moving.

When you factor in your travel, accommodation, meals, and entertainment, cruising is often better value than a land-based holiday.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book in the middle of the ship on a cabin on the lower deck for maximum stability.
โœ“Look for lastminute deals to get a cabin for a fraction of the price.
