After 50+ Cruises: WHICH CRUISE LINE IS BEST? Comparing the PROS & CONS of each!

Solid! 👍🏽

🙏🏽

I don't understand why they would charge for an umbrella when there is absolutely no shade there. MSC you need to roll it into the cost!!!! You have to consider people who take medication where they can't have too much sun exposure. Some people have cancer and other diseases. Dont nickel and dime the passengers!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

I love you guys!! Thanks for including us on your vacations 😊

I could tolerate a fight over a dirty ship. From a Platinum Carnival cruiser

Love your channel Thank you for being honest!

Just took our first Princess cruise, did not care for it at all. We don’t like Carnival either, We love Royal

Great information.

Royal is number 1

23 cruises here, Disney too high, Celebrity too low, I give Virgin higher marks because they caused other Cruise lines to change for the better. Royal Caribbean is either a love it or hate it Cruise line.

Just sailed Carnival for the first time. They also charge for umbrella on Princess Cay.

How does a cruise line screw up a burger?

I know life isn’t fair but if you didn’t have any of these incidents happen while you’re on a carnival ship your judging on what you hear. My opinion

Carnival I feel like excel class and the rest of the ships are very different experiences

I really think you should try out the Islander! I hear its sooo much better than the Paradise and hopefully it will be a start to a much better cruise line, they are still new to the industry!

Worst cruise experience so far was royal liberty of the seas. Beds are awefulllllllllll

Carnival jubilee

You are absolutely crazy putting Disney on the same level with Carnival! Disney is markedly superior! 🤬🤬🤬

We agree charging for umbrellas is stupid.

Looking at possibly doing MSC but in Yacht Club. I could not stand a dirty cabin.

Holland America if your are doing an Alaska Cruise. Though they may not be your vibe. Also there is Cunard the very upscale.

Royal does not have a "ship within a ship" concept. Of those you are ranking, only NCL and MSC have it. With this concept, you don't need to leave the suite area to do anything except get on/off the ship. Royal is similar to what Princess is trying on the Sphere class ships.

We will be trying out cruising for the first time in 40 years for me and 20 for my husband. Cruising out of Mobile on Carnival Spirit. Mega-ships scare me. Way too many people. We will see how it goes. I do believe that the clientele on a variety of Cruise lines may differ depending on the home port and number of days of the voyage. So calling a cruise line by names like "ghetto" or "old and boring" is an unfair generalization. Cruise lines and ships need to be compared apples to apples. Maybe someday someone can rate cruise lines going on the same itinerary out of the same port, and do the same for each port.

I would like to see Allysa make her own list

I lean more to questioning why she is at church rather than why aren't you.

Yep, I'd like both opinions please! Maybe a live Thursday night chat? (or a live cooking demo?) Speedy recovery to you!

Heal up quick first and foremost!!!! Love your channel! Let’s get Alyssa’s opinion too 😃

Move Carnival to a C and this list is spot on! Hope your toes heal up quick!

Holland America????

Keep being real and don't worry about the negative comments! Hope your foot heals up quickly

This was fun, great video!

I didn’t see you rank Holland America?

Charging for umbrellas is wrong

Can we get a list of the ships you have been on

Y’all need to sail on Islander! It’s wonderful! Here’s a review I made just after my MAS Islander cruise in September-October. Please keep in mind, we missed a day and port due to Helene.
“Okay Peeps, here it is… My review in a nutshell. “I LOVE MAS ISLANDER!” The crew, the food, the decor, the music, the entertainment, the drinks, the vibe… all wonderful. Although I’ve sailed other cruise lines and remain ‘Loyal to Royal’ (mostly), I can now say I love cruising a Jimmy Buffet lifestyle. “When the world gives you limes (or hurricanes), make a margarita!” Only 92 days ‘til my next lost shaker of salt adventure. Fins up, y’all!”
I believe Margaritaville has stepped up their game. I went in with an open mind and was wonderfully surprised! So much so, I have two more cruise’s scheduled on her. Please give their new ship a try. Let me know what you think! Oh yeah, the Cheeseburger In Paradise and JWB Steakhouse are not to be missed!

After sailing on Celebrity Reflection and comparing to MSC seashore, MSC is better in all aspects except shows. It even had better food. Was that your only MSC experience? And yes I saw the video, It did give a lot of negative vibes. I also Just got off of RC Allure of the seas. Nice ship but I feel it was at the same level as MSC. Idk, that was just my experience. Thanks for sharing

Ouch! Good luck with your foot!

Our last experience with NCL was horrible. We sailed aboard Norwegian Dawn June 2024 on a 10 night European cruise. The food was mediocre at best (even in the specialty dining) and getting good service in the dining areas was a struggle. The entertainment was also lacking. Another issue we experienced: lack of transport or assistance in getting transportation when they moor far from towns and points of interest. When there is no public transportation and the line doesn't offer transportation, passengers at least need to know the most economical way to reach the destination.
I have had mostly good service with Carnival and feel that you are a little too harsh with them. Yes, your Mardi Gras boarding experience was not good. Our Princess boarding process took over two hours in Vancouver last year. It was very disorganized & our worst embark ever. There have been a few isolated fights on CCL, but security has gotten better. I think lower pricing & short booze cruises have a lot to do with their issues. They do, however, normally provide a lot of sea day activities and they are the absolute best at recognizing our veterans & service members. I don't consider them a superior line, but they are good at what they do. We've had mostly good experiences with Princess. Service on Disney was top notch, but they're overpriced. After our experience on MAS Paradise, I'm not sure that I can get my spouse to give Islander a try.
Please ask Alyssa to create a video of her critiques.
Thanks Griff! I appreciate your content.

I want to know what cruises you’re been on AND Alissa’s favorite 😊

I would love love love to see you try explora!!!!

I like your honest opinion, good, bad and the ugly! Please do not sugar coat. We watch your vlogs for the truth about your experiences. If I don’t particularly agree then so what we agree to disagree, but never hold it against you for your opinion.. people need to chill on the negative comments 😒

I only do specialty dining on MSC

I put MSC at a B only because we did Yacht Club and specialty dining

NCL is superior to me

I agree there are too many fights on Carnival

Royal is number 1

Wow, we just came off the Mardi Gras, and your comments were 'exactly' how we felt. Great ship, amenities, some really outstanding things...but...we did not feel 'safe'. There was a sort of 'rowdiness' and 'roaming' teens that didn't seem to have anything to do [sitting on the stairways etc]. Carnival has a problem. Not just the kids either but. We didn't always feel safe.

chairs are free but umbrellas are not. Yes Stupid.

Opinion here: Carnival is the worst. Its not torture, but it just reeks of Cheep Cruise.
