  <title>I Won’t Do These 7 Cruises. Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Either! (Podcast #486)</title>
  <description>After 128 cruises over two decades, I’ve learned that while most cruises are fantastic… some are simply not worth the money. 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. &amp;amp;nbsp;  Become a Tips For Travellers Patron: https://www.patreon.com/tipsfortravellers and get exclusive Patron-only content, downloads and livestreams Visit my Tips For Travellers YouTube:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.youtube.com/tipsfortravellers  &amp;amp;nbsp; Offers:  Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https://www.TheCruiseMaps.com/TFT  • • Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you’ve visited using the link: https://www.TheWanderClub.com/TFT </description>
