I Got Sick on the World's Worst Cruise

Like your videos, thanks for posting.
We went on our first cruise to the Mediterranean last fall. We chose NCL aboard the Epic, a much hated boat.
We loved it, the cabin reminded us of our RV. We are destination oriented so we really just need a place to sleep and shower and get back to it. We tried a Transatlantic in spring this year and are booked for two more next year. You have to find a line that suits you. It takes some time, Sea sickness is really the only hurdle. I love the motion, my better half is only slightly affected.
We did cross paths with a Costa ship in port and the two ships went nuts whistling and cheering, it was awesome.
Safe travels you three.....

You are such great parents -Noah is quite lucky!

So you were on a cruise for 7, 8 days and only saw Santorini, Mykonos and one town in Malta, all that for a few hours? What a horrible time management and horrible offer from that cruise company. I would expect that in 8 days you would see at least 5 places and have more than 3-4 hours to visit them.

Maybe part of your misery is just being so out of your element. It's a learning experience. Hopefully any future cruises will be much more fun for you and your family. Thanks for sharing.

Id definitely have a dad day and just go and do all the ridiculous stuff just to adventure on a giant hotel

Cruises are the worst things ever.

Ra ra ra…complain complain complain.

Ra ra ra…complain complain complain.

But you did leave your son alone on the balcony! I saw that!

Why did you book it! I’m done at 8mins. Nothing but moaning and moaning. Try cheer up a bit.

Cruise ships are notorious for their environmental impact, including high carbon emissions, waste discharge, and pollution of oceans and coastal areas. This includes air pollution from the heavy fuel oil they burn and the discharge of wastewater into the seas. Many European cities have started to push back against the overwhelming presence of cruise ships due to environmental concerns and over-tourism. It’s the worst way to travel.

I think you can get sea sick on any cruise

We went with one of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships seven years ago, it was amazing,lots of food and we shared a table with 2 nice families. We saw shows and ice skating performances. I liked stopping off and seeing places. The only trouble was we went with our 14 year old daughter… never again,all she did was moan. She did like dinner times because the food was phenomenal. Not sure if I’d want to do it again as I’d much prefer to visit places. Maybe this is why this couple didn’t really care for them because they have been independent travelers for so long. Something I’d like to try

glad to see that you survived your first cruise.

You’d have to be one negative, unhappy or miserable person not to have fun on a cruise

Who the hell wants to workout when you are on vacation? 😢

I would like to try a calm cruise with few people, not an amusement park ship. That would be so maddening.

Too bad your attitude wasn't better. That was a turn off .

Wow, that was intense.....Omgosh, although you talk it up and enjoyed most of your experience, which was fascinating, for me, I have never wanted to go 'cruising' because of the restriction of a floating flat' as you put it, and thankfully I don't think after watching this ever will. I get fearful of the restrictions, & that amount of people in one space with no escape. Thankful that I experienced the Greek Islands (18 in all, yeh lucky) in 1979 and cruised around in a " Yacht , going back again later, via ferries & ended up staying in an abandoned cliff house on Santorini for 3 weeks with a girlfriend. It was fab, had heaps of freedom but there was no vehicular only donkeys and stairs, and fresh baked bread from an old couple every morning, fresh tomatoes and spinach filo, the locals were wonderful, and I also loved Ios & Mykonos too. I doubt if I will ever go again so very happy to see it now, boy! has it changed. I did Europe for 5 months, travelling everywhere, one could go, and loved the Island Capri, and Florence, & covered most of Italy, & Europe, France was also a favourite destination, I fell in love with so many historical towns and people. Thank you for the memories, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog. I will be watching for more of your families experiences & hope you get to make Italy your home...I would in a heartbeat, but have family commitments. So I am happy to watch you explore your destiny. Good luck to you, you are all so Lovely. 🌸🐞

As a family with kids you should try a Disney cruise! My wife and I really enjoy them. They also have kids clubs and a nursery(although the nursery does cost extra). This way you can drop the little one off and enjoy each others company. But there are so many fun things to do on the cruise and the adult area is amazing. They are bit more expensive but there is an Alaska one which you mentioned.

But… there’s two nightclubs, what else do you need? 😂

Go to Funchal, Madeira! It’s beautiful!!!

Did you not do anything research before you booked this holiday? Your lack of planning is ridiculous especially with a small baby.

It is the old addage that you get what you pay for! You are strapped for cash so chose a budget line. How can you expect the cruise ine to provide gourmet food, luxury cabins, excellent service, a stunning shp with beautiful amenities and wonderful activities all day long (wonderful talks entertaiment, trivia, games, exercise classes, etc.). And you are traveling with a small child who needs constant attention.

there are worse places to be sick. you're quite an attractive couple and seeing you with the baby warmed my heart

I’ve never fancied going on a cruise now I definitely know I’m never doing it 😂thank you

I think you guys need to choose a very different cruise line obviously you didn’t do any research beforehand , a rookie error if as you say you have travelled a lot , you do sound a bit snobby though . Leave cruising to those of us who love it , I must say we only like the smaller ships not the “ all bells and whistles “ ones suited for families .

Not the cbd its thc! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Thank you. You have pretty much addressed all my thoughts and concerns about taking a cruise - especially on one of those floating towns. I am still a little tempted to take a cruise, but think I will be looking more into river cruises. I did take a Nile cruise many years ago, and really enjoyed it, but the boat was much smaller. At least I can say I've tried.

So basically you booked a cruise that wasn’t tailored to your family. You say it’s the worst cruise… when you’ve never been on one. You’re bashing it because you have a child and can’t participate as a Cpl doing things later… also can’t forget having a dry Cpl months not drinking.
I believe you make things how you want them to be. If you’re negative all the time then you’re going to get a negative experience. Two negative people trying to have a good time, that’s rough.
I’ve literally never seen a Cpl complain about a new experience/vacation more than I have watching this video. It has truly turned me off of your channel.
I’d like to see the beans reacting positively and enjoying time together as family with good food and new experiences.
Hope you have a blessed and positive day and land has made you happy.

Just done p&o Iona for 14 days with wife and boys aged 8 and 13, I really enjoyed it Tenerife, Portugal, gran Canaria etc food and hospitality from staff absolutely great, would definitely do another.

Your want of just looking at bldg is not as exciting either
I hate looking at buildings only thats so...😂

Wait til ur baby can walk on his own and go back....uwill like it

But ur idea is fun is not as fun at all too...😅

Hmmmmm…. Wondering if the cruise line gave them the cruise at deep discount for a realistic/positive review? Just wondering’….

Guys you’re on a cruise! It was your fault for not doing the research and booking a ship that gives you things that you actually want to do! But at any rate you’re on a cruise ship, you’re acting like you’re in a prison waiting to get released!

I think that your family would have a great time on a Royal Caribbean cruise, there’s so much to do for all ages!

Go on MSC cruises they’re cheap but carry a very high standard. Very luxurious have a lot of amenities and a lot of activities. They are the third world’s largest cruise line but very inexpensive and they usually include drink package and onboard credit with your ticket price. Don’t let this cruise experience, scare you from cruising try MSC cruises. Also MSC does a deal where kids that are 11 years of age or younger sale for free. can’t wait to see more of your cruise journey experiences cruising is the best way to travel.

Also make sure you sign up for the cruise lines rewards program. It’s free to sign up and it comes with a lot of perks and benefits.

These comments are ridiculous they where honest about their experience and there's nothing wrong with that. Royal Carribbean would probably be a better fit I think

Cruising is not for everyone and you were adventuresome enough to try it once. But honestly, most of your frustrations illuminated in your two cruising posts are because you were very naive about living onboard with 3000 people. A smaller, quieter ship may have left you with a better impression of cruising.

The intrusive thoughts, omg yes. It never stops 🙌

What a lovely wee family you are .x

It sounds to me like you just may not be cruisers, although I wonder how you’d do on a better cruise line? I took a carnival cruise for the first time last April and we had an absolute blast. The kids club was amazing, our daughter couldn’t get enough of it, and our son made friends and ran off to play basketball with them every day, freeing us up to enjoy the adults only pool and hot tub which was significantly less crowded. We enjoyed the comedy clubs and other entertainment on board as well, and if anything felt like we didn’t have enough time to do all the things we wanted to. I don’t remember being bored for even a second. But I don’t think it’s for everyone, if you’re not into lounging by the pool with a margarita in your hand, or dancing, singing or laughing with a bunch of strangers during some form of onboard entertainment, then it’s likely not for you.

I t is wise to always take your passport with you anytime you set foot on a foreign country while on a cruise. If anything happens such as an illness, or you get lost or are late getting back on the ship and get stranded how are you going to go about in a foreign country with your passport. It seems this couple should first learn a little more about safety and travel “smarts” before doing any type of travel blogs. Nice couple and beautiful toddler.

Yes cruise Alaska. I have 3 times now with Norwegian Cruise Line....Amazing!

One of the most wonderful cruises that I've ever experienced is Seaborne, ultra luxury cruises, smaller ships list people, fantastic shows everything is included, five star meals all the way beautiful spacious caberns, and the best trained staff, 5 star all the way can highly recommend it

Why would you go on the worlds worst cruise in the first place?
