My unpopular opinion reel blew up last week🚀
In my reel, I taked about why I think older cruise ships are better than the newer cruise ships.. So let me explain why I actually believe older cruise ships are better. 1️⃣ They're quieter. No queuing for everything. No madness at the buffet. You can actually get a sunlounger. After weeks on Voyager, I've never once fought for a seat or waited in a massive line. That changes how the whole cruise feels. 2️⃣ They're not overwhelming. You can learn the layout in a day. Get from your cabin to anywhere on the ship in minutes. No trying to find your way through fifteen decks of attractions. It actually feels like a cruise ship, that traditional vibe that got most of us into cruising in the first place. 3️⃣ They're cheaper with better itineraries. New ships often do 3-4 night runs to private islands or the same Caribbean stops everyone's done ten times. Older ships? Longer sailings. More interesting ports. Repositioning cruises. And for less money. 4️⃣ The staff actually know you. Fewer passengers means the crew remember your name, your drink, your table. You see the same faces. You have actual conversations. After a few weeks on board, it feels like a community! I'm not saying new ships are bad. They're impressive, and of course I would take any cruise ship rather than being on land!

Not sure I need a new (larger) ship. I don’t need all the waterslides type things, more people mean more chances for something to go wrong.
Would you rather…
🚢 Have a balcony cabin on a short cruise (7 nights) or 🛌 Have an inside cabin but cruise for a full month? Comment why, I’m fascinated by how people decide!🤩

A month might be too long for us.
I need your help!
We’re about to set sail on a 35-night cruise (our longest one yet!) and I’m deep in packing mode… trying to decide what’s essential versus what’ll just take up space for five weeks. It got me thinking... everyone has that one thing they always pack that others forget. For me, it’s a re-usable water bottle! So now I’m curious…👉 What’s your “never leave home without it” cruise item?

You might look into the cruise laundry services. It is not as expensive as you might think. We had 10 items ironed for $20. Good lick and I can not wait to see post from the 35 night cruise.
Balcony cabin or interior cabin?
I know what most people say… but I am curious to see what you all pick! This is always an active debate on my socials!😂 Drop your answer and tell me WHY.🤔

I love the balcony if the cost is not much more. I understand we don't spend that much time in our room, but I enjoy waking up to a new city right out my door each day and can easily check the weather.
The One Cruise Decision Everyone Debates👀
Be honest… how do you usually handle drinks packages on a cruise?🍹 I anm always curious because this is one of the biggest “overthink or underthink” decisions people make before sailing. Vote below and feel free to explain why in the comments 👇

Depends on the cruise line and what packages are offered. Last cruise on Royal Caribbean and we did the drink package. It mor then paid off. Many post that say the package is not worth it. However, when you include soft drinks, Starbucks and bottled water, it more than pays for itself.
