Here\u2019s Why You Shouldn\u2019t Either! (Podcast #486)","description":"After 128 cruises over two decades, I\u2019ve learned that while most cruises are fantastic\u2026 some are simply not worth the money. In this video I reveal 7 cruises I regret taking and now actively avoid \u2014 even though many travellers still book them thinking they\u2019re getting a great deal. Some of these cruises look incredible in the brochure, others seem like obvious bargains, and a few are even considered \u201cbucket list\u201d 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: \u2022 The cruise that looks like the perfect way to try cruising \u2014 but often isn\u2019t \u2022 The extremely popular cruise many people dream about that didn\u2019t live up to expectations \u2022 The cruise timing mistake that can ruin an otherwise great itinerary \u2022 Why certain new ships and launches can disappoint early passengers \u2022 The itinerary issue that can leave you seeing far less than you expected \u2022 The booking situation that can quietly change the whole experience onboard \u2022 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\u2019ll help you avoid making the same costly mistakes. &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;nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/tipsfortravellers  &amp;nbsp; Offers:  Get 10% any order of The Cruise Maps who you visit the site using this link: https:\/\/www.TheCruiseMaps.com\/TFT  \u2022 \u2022 Get up to 30% off collectible tokens of place you\u2019ve visited using the link: https:\/\/www.TheWanderClub.com\/TFT ","author_name":"Essential Cruise Tips","author_url":"http:\/\/cruisetips.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40491465\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/199827970"}
