In the world of Instagram / YouTube influencers, aggressive promotions and hidden ads it is hard not to have false expectations.

The reality of cruise was different: some mediocre things were oversold, and others that are trully enjoyable were never mentioned. Some minor problems were exaggerated by Temu sellers, others, like squicking cabin, were missing.

We decided to put together expectations vs reality to counter false expectations.

    Definitely yes. Thinking of a route to South America, but just thinking for now. Also considering sailing on cargo ships, want to try

      Ah yeah, I looked into cargo ships, but the ones I found offering berths were still fairly expensive and such a big time investment I think I would get a little stir-crazy.

      I’ll be interested to hear how your next cruise goes! Thanks for posting, I haven’t thought about cruise ships in a long time so it’s good to stir things up in my head.
