Creator's Key Takeaways

i spend my life telling people how amazing cruises are so it was a little bit embarrassing for me to sit down with my friends and listen to how bad this trip was

they did pick one of the most traditional cruise lines and i wouldn't have picked that for them on formal nights with cruising maritime the men do wear proper dinner suits the women do wear long gowns

my friends were worried about getting seasick and their fears were realized if they were on a cruise that have ports every day it probably wouldn't have been a problem

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not book a cruise with so many sea days for first-time cruisers
Choose a seven-night cruise as the sweet spot for first-timers

YouTube Video Description

When a couple of friends came to me and told me about the cruise that they'd booked, I had a few concerns. There definitely is a cruise line for (almost) everybody, but not every cruise will suit every person, and this one didn't suit my friends.
