I appreciate all the information you provided in a concise manner Do you have an indepth video on picking the best Norway Fjords itinerary?

Gary - your recommendation of Windstar for the Caribbean at 2:50 is dead wrong Once upon a time, before their acquisition and COVID, they were amazing Just went on a Caribbean cruise with them on the Star Pride and it was just bad - bad food, aging ship (stained carpets in the room, dry air, odd smells, sporadic hot water in the morning), understaffed and cheaply done excursions They are a shadow of their former self Suggest you take a cruise on the Star Pride and get an updated perspective

And how about Aida, Costa en Tui?

People starving and others do this…

Looking at these trips, I just want to quickly book a luxury cruise The experience really feels like a dream

I wish they called in Sitka more

Holy Moly this is a GREAT vlog on how to pick your cruise❤

I love Disney but for me it's more about the itinerary over the cruise line
Comment from : @dennisegrant5901

very pertinent video Chuck full of important information

We really liked our Caribbean cruise on Celebrity Better food than Cunard
Comment from : @DavidEidelberg

Terrific video Gary! Thankyou, so much valuable information we can refer to when making our decisions Your knowledge is second to none
Comment from : @kennypenny3

NCL is my favorite
Comment from : @anthonyr7208

Heard MSC also adding Alaska cruises starting in a year or so…
Comment from : @josephh7155

You missed Princess who are based in Australia most of the year, do round Australia and lots of NZ and South Pacific

@tipsfortravellers Thank you for this video - very helpful! What do you think about Scenic USA? Thinking of Scenic Eclipse

Hi Gary, been watching you now for quite a while, and Iv noticed you never mention P&O is there a reason for this? We’ve just got back from a Caribbean cruise in P&O’s Arvia and had an amazing time Would like to know your thoughts on P&O? brThank you 😊

Am I seeing things or did I just see you in downtown Livorno, Italy on 12 NOV 2024? The Wife and I are on the Celebrity Infinity heading to Barcelona
Comment from : @TexasGI47life

Gary, I’m a big fan of yours, I just didn’t feel the review of the lesser known names was useful, having seen a lot of your videos it felt like you through the names in there but didn’t have much depth to add Checking afterwards on Cruise Critic, the reviews were less than flattering I think if you mention other more obscure lines, we count on more color from you But love your work
Comment from : @sanieldarwish4342

What do you think of a cross pacific, from LA to Hong Kong, 15 days?
Comment from : @mhojunction

Holland America has some of the best deals in the Caribbean this season I just booked ten day cruises on the Rotterdam and Eurodam to the Southern Caribbean for US$1285 pp
Comment from : @jlawrence0181

Love the video! Though I kept waiting for Celestyal to come up during the Greek Island section as I've heard they know the Greek Islands inside out and provide a more immersive experience
Comment from : @maurinet2291

I really like Holland America for consistency and unusual itineraries
Comment from : @breadroomghost8764

Did I miss Africa or do you just not go to Africa?
Comment from : @MulliganAl

Wow, not many people can provide a video like this 15 minutes of pure cruise industry knowledge and experience from all over the world
Comment from : @landinsongs

Great observations I want to travel the Med in 2026 and will take your advice Since i travel solo smaller is much better for me
Comment from : @barbaralazier8352

I agree Royal Caribbean is the best in the Caribbean
Comment from : @janiekcarney5482

Great video, thanks Gary
Comment from : @skylineuk1485

Brilliant video, Gary I do think it’s super important to choose an ‘expert’ for some cruises - I found the experience of Alaska on Princess was wonderful In contrast, using MSC for Norway was still good, but they lacked the informative commentary etc that Princess were so good at!
Comment from : @FraserAtSea

I find cruise lines vary a lot in food quality and in entertainment quality So if you're into both of these, it's worth researching
Comment from : @jeremywhite92

Great information! Thank you for the video!
Comment from : @danielintheantipodes6741

We really loved Hurtigruten HX their expedition ships for our second trip to Alaska It was amazing and the only port we knew was Sitka
Comment from : @betsy6046

Another great review of which line for each location We just got home from a 28-day cruise on Viking, and if you can handle the cost, they are just about perfect for the early retiree The small ships get you into the best ports
Comment from : @texasboy5117

Africa isn't mentioned once 🤔
Comment from : @frankulfberht

Mo Antarctica?
Comment from : @mathewmaciolek581

Wow this was enlightening! Didn't realise the Panama canal actually had 2 very different crossing experiences!
Comment from : @Unazaki

Thanks, very insightful but what about Antarctica sail by / landing please??
Comment from : @peepshowtube

You finally figured out how to pronounce "Seward" Well done!
Comment from : @je44

P&O Australia food was awful Aust NZ addressed but what about South Pacific region?
Comment from : @carolynrose9522

Thanks Gary As always a wealth of knowledge, you’re so helpful! Ive learned so much from you 🙏🏻
Comment from : @traceymollet5063

Have you been on explora 2 yet?
Comment from : @gregorabbott8542

We chose Celestyal, a small Greek line Two weeks gives the known and unknown cities We are looking forward to itbrIt is Very affordable
Comment from : @lorenadugan6355

Great video, Gary brMore than anything, it made me examine why I choose the cruises I do, because a couple of the biggest areas are not even on my to-do list It made me realize that I don’t want small-ships Thinking of them makes me a bit claustrophobic And mega ships make me itchy Thank you for helping me see that I’m a goldilocks wanna/be 😆
Comment from : @nrgpokemon5158

Soon thing will change because cruise lines are buying/building resorts next to major cruise ports So when you want to go to a cruise, you can stay few days before or after the cruise in the resort with no chance to miss your cruise due to flight delays Princess already has lodges in Alaska RCL is massively into resorts in the Caribbean islands
Comment from : @raananh-w2j

Have you ever wanted to try an Amazon river cruise? I really recommend them
Comment from : @ArturoRicardoSierraGuerra

As always Gary, you excel with the passing on of your accumulated cruising knowledge You are an olde world eclectic peripatetic
Comment from : @calumshaw

I had a good experience with MSC on a Carabian cruise a couple of years ago I was surprised at how cheap it was, and while it wasn't super luxurious, it was still a lot of fun so I agree with your recommendation for people focusing on value
Comment from : @rffinances8567

Now I'm bummed that my first cruise to Alaska (June 2025) isn't a line that's on your list (Regent Seven Seas Explorer) and we're not going to Glacier Bay Anyway, thanks for this video, Gary! 🤩
Comment from : @annenorthman8154

Love the video and suggestions Just got back from the Pride of America cruise The next cruise will most likely be a European Rivers cruise
Comment from : @broccanmacronain457

Thank you for another very informative and useful video
Comment from : @hazels27

We're going to Antarctica in December 12th over the holidays and back on the 6th or 8th like a 28-day cruise This will be our fifth voyage on Holland America a great ships small crowds
Comment from : @paulj4228

My trip on Hurtigruten was excellent Also, if you're looking for a more excursion-type trip around Scotland/Ireland, check out Adventure Canada They also do an excellent trip in or out of the Northwest Passage (which I'm saving up for!) 😊
Comment from : @mjzigzag

Holland America has always delivered a reliable product With no surprises
Comment from : @ColoRadio6996

The knowledge you have of the shipping industry from a consumer perspective is simply impressive! So much worth for customers
Comment from : @notheotherklaus

Hi Gary, would you consider doing a couple of videos about flying to and from home to the embarkation ports? Like, how many different airlines have you tried and the types of seats you might recommend for shorter or longer flights?
Comment from : @Woman_of_a_Certain_Age

No love for Norwegian, eh? :) Thanks for the informative vlog
Comment from : @TWSmith42

Queen Mary 2 has been through Panama Or is going in 2026
Comment from : @Philippa-

That’s a LOT of information in a very short amount of time Very well thought through Gary 👏
Comment from : @_echobravo

Talking about Alaska Depending on how much time You want to spend off the ship is an important factor in my opinion I was there with princess and norwegian With princess we stayed almost the whole day there until it was dark on many saleaways so you wouldnt see much of alaska on the ship itself With norwegian we spent way less time in the ports but had more time to see Alaska from the ship which i prefered much more
Comment from : @raphischuster2060

I have mixed feelings about MSC I’ve only been on them once and did not like it but in all fairness we brought our mother in law to with us We’d like to try them in the Yacht Club What day you think Gary?
