The Worst Cruise We’ve Ever Taken in 24 years of cruising
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator recounts their experience with the worst cruise of their 153 voyages, specifically focusing on a 2014 trip with Voyages of Discovery to Iceland. Before detailing this experience, they describe a runner-up bad experience on a Mississippi River cruise aboard the Mississippi Queen in 2013. That river cruise involved noisy staterooms near crew doors and cramped accommodations that led the creators to leave the ship early. Regarding the 2014 Iceland cruise, the creator highlights several significant issues with the ship, including poor maintenance, a lack of power that required an external generator, and subpar food quality. They note that the stateroom was small and poorly kept, featuring a chipped sink and moldy fruit. Additionally, the creator mentions an instance of unprofessional behavior from a cruise director. Despite the negative conditions on board the vessel, the creator concludes that the destination of Iceland was beautiful and highly recommends the location, noting that subsequent trips to the region with different cruise lines provided much better experiences.
