Great video, I will be sending this to some friends who don't think they'd like cruising!

I have been cruising since 1993. As far as I am concerned there is TOO much going on a ship. I cannot wait will to 2 or 3 Days at seas so we can relax a bit. We have always booked excursions with the cruise lines since if there is a problem the ship will wait for you. Our tour bus destroyed a wheel and we had to wait for a new on be brought to us. Then there was about an additional half hour late. We got back about an hour late and the ship was STILL waiting for us.

Cruise line excursions are far more expensive BUT the guarantee you won’t get left at port if your group arrives late ( maybe unless you go awol and don’t return to your group after free time ) is exactly why I spend the extra money too that and the cruise line vets all these operators so If something goes wrong you’ve got recourse.

My husband and I took our first cruise in 2003 and well, it wasn’t what either one of us expected. The sea day was the best. After that cruise, we wouldn’t take another cruise until 2011. We had so much fun on that cruise, we’ve been cruising yearly or more ever sense.

Sea days are incredible….. Never left with nothing to do. For those who follow the adage that the ship is as much the destination as the ports, sea days are pure bliss….

Sea days are my favorite. I need to relax, that's why I go on cruise. Sit on balcony with my tea, a book, and hubby....bliss.

Sadly Royal Caribbean and Celebrity now have seemed to reach the decision solo travelers are costing them money and now are charging more then a 100% single supplement to discourage solo travelers. I hope this blows up in their faces so other cruise lines do not adopt the same policy.

I’ve noticed. Cruise MSC they usually waive the supplement.

@@lexa_power Exactly, the highest I had on MSC was a 50% supplement on a popular cruise during the busy season. NCL must be licking their chops knowing their solo cabins will be even more in demand now.

Underdressing in the MDR should be shamed and refused. I say this as a traveler who often eats dinner at the buffet rather than change into my dinner clothes and never attends formal night. There are tons of other options, so there is no reason to go to dinner looking like you just got finished mowing your lawn.

If you say that on any cruise related forums on Facebook, they'll gang up on you and tell you to mind your business. When I go to the mdr, I dress nicely. If I don't dress nicely I go to the buffet

I know a person whom always get wow'd by the pics I take on my cruises, but just refuse to try it once because of what she sees from mainstream media regarding incidents like Carnival Triumph, Costa Concordia, Diamond Princess, plus the other negative news about Noro outbreaks and how the media always calls it a floating petri dish. No matter how much you explain to her about it. Funny thing is, she's also the type that distrusts mainstream media about everything else.

Good greif, EVERY media covers the cruise incidents. Also, no one anywhere, in any media, covers negative cruise news more that several of the top KZitem cruise vloggers. Don, La Lido Loca, ShipLife, ALL do almost nothing but negative news. Chanells like this and Chris Wong are the rarity and frankly a breath of fresh air.

Of course you don't "feel trapped" how can you when you're drunk while lounging by the pool like MOST cruisers do. That or your in the casino. Because after that, if your not doing the water, gambling or drinking, that's the MAJORITY of cruising these days. Unless you're on a MEGA ship. Then you may be able to do other things like the race tracks or rope courses or ice skate. etc. But a regular cruise ship, not so much. For example, I was board out of my gourd on DCL after only a couple of days. But those adults who were into drinking were just fine as they had plenty of places to imbibe and those places were BUSY! Plus of course the NUMEROUS and VOLUMINOUS amounts of alcohol served by the pool. The views? IT'S WATER! Seen it once you've seen it all. The ocean looks the same. Waves are the same. Boring! You WON'T get "authentic" anything while visiting a port with ANY cruise line! If only being there for a day. The locals KNOW and treat you as the suckers you are for believing such nonsense. If you go knowing that the locals ONLY see cruisers as a quick buck, then you'll not be disappointed. That's why places like Key West basically kicked out cruisers, because CRUISERS AREN'T WANTED! Except for their MONEY! Venetians HATE cruisers and also are considering a serious restriction, if not an all out ban on large ships. When I lived in Alaska it was the same. locals TOLERATED cruisers and that's all, because they needed the money, especially to get through the rest of the year. Cruising IS good for a "taste" of a place. Even if it's only a superficial one. You almost WILL feel sick on the smaller ships in any sort of weather that the mega ships ride through better. Many of the "specialty places" REQUIRE at least a blazer and collared shirt with slack or at least Khaki pants. Otherwise NO ENTRY! While a few ships have added single rooms, many are penalizing single travelers and ONLY accepting double bookings. So, if you want to go single you PAY DOUBLE! Crowds are ALWAYS a problem on mega ships. Try getting to Guest services or booking items, or anything popular to do. Wait times can rival amusement parks!
