7 Cruises To Steer Well Clear Of These Days. Here's Why! (Podcast #564)

from Gary Bembridge's Tips For Travellers · host Gary Bembridge Tips For Travellers

In this video I reveal 7 cruises I regret taking and now actively avoid — even though many travellers still book them thinking they're getting a great deal. Some of these cruises look incredible in the brochure, others seem like obvious bargains, and a few are even considered "bucket list" sailings. But after experiencing them myself, I discovered why they can lead to disappointment, frustration, or simply poor value for money. In this video I explain: • The cruise that looks like the perfect way to try cruising — but often isn't • The extremely popular cruise many people dream about that didn't live up to expectations • The cruise timing mistake that can ruin an otherwise great itinerary • Why certain new ships and launches can disappoint early passengers • The itinerary issue that can leave you seeing far less than you expected • The booking situation that can quietly change the whole experience onboard • And the weather-related mistake many cruisers make without realising These are lessons I learned the hard way after spending years and a small fortune cruising the world. Hopefully they'll help you avoid making the same costly mistakes.
