Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is by far the worst cruise line I have ever cruised with, and I've been on many.

Really disappointed. I booked my cruise because of Labadee, Haiti, and Royal Caribbean canceled it without offering any refund or credit.

We are so disappointed and will not be trying our first cruise with this company.

I was told it's okay to travel without passports, and when we got there, me and my family were denied boarding.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Research cruise line policies on gratuities before booking.
βœ“Read the cruise contract to understand itinerary changes and compensation policies.
βœ“Mark your calendar for final payment due dates and pay manually, don't assume auto-deduction.
βœ“Verify travel documentation requirements directly from the cruise line before sailing.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not understanding gratuity charges β€” Know that most cruise lines charge daily gratuities; prepay or remove at guest services.
Missing final payment deadline β€” Track due dates manually; cruise lines won't send text reminders.
Lacking proper travel documentation β€” Check cruise line requirements directly; don't rely on third-party advice.
