Our Travel Agent REFUSED To Book a Cruise on this Cruise Line
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators reflect on their experiences throughout 2022 while celebrating Christmas, expressing gratitude to their supporters and patrons. They announce several upcoming projects, including a new channel dedicated to cruise news and tips, and a planned trip to Alaska. A significant portion of the video addresses a surprising encounter with a travel agent who refused to book a Carnival cruise, stating they would not even send their own family on such a voyage. The creators share their own findings after booking directly with Carnival to test these reputations. They conclude that while older ships may maintain certain stereotypes, their experiences on newer vessels like the Mardi Gras and Celebration were very positive. They specifically address misconceptions regarding the atmosphere, inclusivity, and food quality. The creators note that the newer ships feel comparable to Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, offering high quality entertainment and diverse passenger crowds. They suggest that while some aspects like service might feel more budget oriented, the overall experience on the newer fleet was pleasantly surprising.
