As a puertorrican who has cruised a lot, I must add this one: low priced Caribbean, short (4-5 days) Summer cruises, if you want to avoid rowdy teenagers and drunk young adults. Those are party cruises, if you want relaxation and peace, not your cruise). Thanks for the tips! ❤
One other option for very few kids is to take longer than 7 day cruises. We have done Journeys cruises on Carnival that had only a handful of kids because they can't get away from school for that many days.

You must not have cruised during the summer!! LOL LOTS of kids! Any ship with "water slides" usually have lots of kids!! @@kevinmatthews365
Another cruise to avoid, whether you have kids or not, is any that has a "Kids Sail Free" promotion. RUN! Run away fast!. If you have kids, you'll find the kid programs very full and crazy. If you would prefer to not have double the normal number of kids running thru halls, trashing beverage stations, hogging elevators and pushing every button, these are not for you. The problem is that the crusie lines can announce these promotions after you booked thinking you were getting a "normal" cruise. Overall, I agree with your comments, but....we've done many September cruises (low rates, kids in school, family birthday) and only once had bad hurricane issues when our 7 night cruise became a 4 night. Yes, we've had cruises where ports were altered, but we considered these to be an adventure and visited some new ports that we might not have seen otherwise. We did the second to last Alaska cruise one season and the weather was not cold. We never eve wore our warm coats. Things vary from year to year. Totally agree that heading west on crossings is easier than east. However, I have a trick. We LOVE the long cruises and often book both a spring and a fall crossing. This has allowed me to book round trip air for the crossing portion, saving a lot of money. Worse than the inaugural cruise on a new ship is the maiden voyage of a new cruise line. I will spare you the details. DO NOT do this!

@kathryncashner3294

@@tessabutlergarageyourbike6048 OK how I do it....Assuming MIA to BCN in April, the reverse in October. That means I need to fly from my home to MIA in April and from BCN to my home city after the cruise. I book one way on SW for the domestic portion, so that is easy. You can only book 330 days in advance, so you'll need to wait until 330 days before your fall flight. I book BCN to LAX in May (the end of the first cruise), and book a return of LAX to BCN in the fall. If I'm not planning to stay in Europe, I'll book the spring for one day after my ship docks and the fall to arrive 2 days early (just for safety...in case of issues). It usually costs about the same for the round trip as for a one way; sometimes even less! I could also book LA to MIA in the spring/MIA to LA in the fall, but we like SW and I don't see any need to book that as a round trip. You can also do an "open gatch" if your return cruise is not from the same port (in my example BCN). I looked at a fall cruise from Rome to MIA, but decided on both from BCN.
My cousin lives in Juneau and she thinks cruising in October or late September is crazy. The locals often leave for warmer climates, closing stores. The days are so much shorter - it gets dark early shortening viewing time . Its colder and she sees many miserable tourists fighting the cold and rain. Great video. Thank you
We just did back to back repositioning cruises....Seattle to Japan in October and Lisbon to NYC in November. Had a great time and many fewer folks on the cruise. We've also done Alaska cruises in October. Loved them because there were no families with kids on the cruise. To each his own I guess.
We had a cruise booked on an NCL ship out of Port Canaveral Florida when hurricane Ian blew through. Driving from Canada, and nearing Cincinnati, we got notice finally from NCL that they cancelled the cruise. They would not cancel the night prior when we called. So we got 100% refunded and we called Carnival and got on Carnival Glory out of New Orleans instead. Stopped by Graceland in Memphis with the extra day we now had to make it there and then ended up on a fantastic cruise in the western Caribbean with smooth sailing and warm temps. We had never cruised out of New Orleans so this ended up being a treat and we got to experience a bit of NOLA as well for the first time. Great trip!
There is another reason for avoiding an inaugural cruise. Often, neither the ship nor the crew is ready for prime time. Sometimes there’s still construction going on. Also, you often get a new and somewhat untrained crew, so you pay more for an uncompleted ship and a less than trained crew.
We've done six transatlantic crossings so far - as round trip sailings on QM2, not 'repositioning' cruises. We have found that we are adjusted to our destination time on eastbound sailings - but do like getting the five hours back on the return crossing.
We've found out the hard way that "last " cruises before a ship is to be retired or refitted are a bad idea too. Somehow we've made that mistake several times now without realizing it in advance. Need to figure out how to avoid that!
I would have never thought about considering the direction of travel due to the time changes on the transatlantic or transpacific. Great tip!
We never wanted to go on an inaugural cruise. You’re so right about spring break. Right again, we never cruise between September & November.
I guess we were lucky on our Alaskan cruise in May. The weather was cool but nice, the tourist towns were very glad to see us after the long quiet winter, and best of all, the notorious Alaskan bug season had yet to arrive.

I loved my Alaska cruise!!!
Went on the Norwegian Escape during Thanksgiving. Never again! The ship was completely full, even maxed out with many rooms with four passengers. There were lineups for everything, and far too many children running around.
We purposely went to Alaska the second week of May last year to avoid rain and bugs. We started in Seattle on Sunday at 90° and didn’t have a high under 70° till we hit Victoria the following Saturday. Thursday was the high of the actual sailing at 80° in Skagway. We got very lucky. I told everyone that was why I specifically chose that week when booking the previous October.
Totally agree with you regarding inaugural cruises. We don't go on inaugural cruises, just like the fact that we don't buy a brand new make and model car for the first 3 years that comes out

I NEVER buy the 1ts of anything. They have to work the bugs out.
I found the Transatlantic issue the complete opposite with sleep adjustment being more difficult Westbound than Eastbound (proves we are all different I guess). I think kids can be problematic on cruises because they are often bored out of their brains. I know the mega resort ships you find with RC have plenty to occupy them but a regular ship does not (eating, drinking, more eating, sunbathing, playing the slots, watching shows may appeal to a lot of adults but it’s deathly dull to most children and that’s when they start making a nuisance of themselves) hence I NEVER cruise during school holidays.

Me too
We’ve never had the issue you did with the eastbound Transatlantic cruise. We love them and find we have no jet lag when we get there. In addition we find the westbound flight home much easier than eastbound flights to Europe. I totally agree about inaugural cruises though primarily because the crew is all new and don’t know the vessel and are still working out the kinks. Like you we always avoid the holiday times partly to avoid crowds but also they tend to be more expensive. We were once in a cyclone between New Zealand and Australia. I loved the rough sea as did about 13 other people. Everyone else was miserable. Completely agree about Alaska which can be frigid.
I did an Eastbound trans Atlantic a few years ago and they adjusted the time at noon rather than midnight. It made a big difference.
Thank you for the info! I love your channels ❤
This is a great video and you guys also look great. You both look so relaxed, and I watch a lot of your videos. I agree with you on everything you said, especially inaugural cruises. When I was very young, my mother loved to travel, and she always had to be on the inaugural cruise, we live in Florida, and even as a kid we lived in Florida, so I saw the cruise industry grow. I can’t tell you how many times we went on an inaugural cruises and the systems on board did not work, the food was cold, the crew was lost, and disoriented as the crew had never worked together as a team. Inaugural cruises are expensive, and in my opinion, and from my experience, simply not worth the money.
Great info! Love your channel!
We have done quite a few Transatlantics, including back to backs around the British Isles. We much prefer the eastbound, as we are early risers and we never get shiplagged when we arrive in Europe. The weather is usually great in the spring (no hurricanes.) Also we love the sea days at the start of the cruise, then the ports in Europe. Horses for courses, I guess.

Thanks for the tips. My 2nd cruise just happen to be during Spring Break. Because I don't have kids I didn't realize this was a thing when I booked it (solo cruiser on the Norwegian Escape). Even though I had a GREAT time, my goodness was the ship jammed with kids and teenagers. While the kids were, for the most part just being kids, the teenagers had this moody, obnoxious, entitled behavior that made being around them unbearable. I'm convinced even their parents wanted very little to do with them. Though I had a great time with employed and retired teachers (they know how to have a good time), I said "never again" to Spring Break cruises!

We took our children on many spring break cruises and never had any issues. Contrary to what many people think there are very few if any college age students on spring break cruises. There are however a lot of younger children onboard during spring break. But again we never had any issues.

Spring break isn't just for college age students, it's for students of all ages. Younger children make a ruckus on cruises too. I ended up being on a cruise during the same time as Canada's spring break and it was awful. Kids running around and parents not disciplining their kids.
Cruising is my jam, thank you.

Thanks for the tips. Especially about which way to book repositioning cruises..
If you don't want a lot of children definitely do the transatlantic, or the repositioning between the state of Washington and the state of Florida
Great....i booked a May cruise for 14 days to alaska. Im hoping for the best.
Thank you for the tips.
Fantastic advice guys! Thankyou 🙌🏻
Allie and Rob, this video surprised me in so many ways. You were informative about time changes, sea sickness, hurricane seasons, and quite a few things that never occurred to me. I just love watching everything you do and say. Excellent. I’m off to find another. 😊
Too late 🤦🏽♀️ booked a TA from Orlando to Rome 😂. I was blessed on my cruise to Alaska in October… it was wonderful.
Good point on TAs. We were docked in the same spot as where you took the photo at the “Rome” port, did a Holy Land & then a TA to Ft Lauderdale on the Odyssey.
Very informative video! Thank you !
Yep you can check those school calendars especially if you don't have children find out when they have their spring break, when they start their Thanksgiving break, when they start their Christmas break, and when their summer break begins as well. I would also avoid the week before the week of the week after 4th of July
OOPS! I've got an Alaska cruise booked for late May cruising from Seattle (it seems that all the inside passage cruises leave from Vancouver and I'm not a big fan of Canada) and a 17 day cruise from San Diego to Hawaii round trip in November!! No sea sickness for me so I'll be ok but you've certainly given some good advice!! (I just became a new subscriber!). I completely agree about "Inaugural" cruises! I've never done one and never will! I really appreciated your advice about relocation trans oceanic cruises!! I been tempted by them. THX for all the good advice!!
Looking back, this is kind of embarrassing. I don't know what we were thinking. I think the cruise was a 10 day Caribbean. When we were leaving the north side of the DR, I noticed we were going the complete opposite direction. We had been on the cruise so long that a hurricane had popped up quickly and was smashing a nearby island. In our little bubble, we had no idea. Never heard anything about it. It was no big deal for the ship. We just went a different route to the planned port. In retrospect, we realized we had booked the peak DAYS of hurricane season- September 15 & 16. And we live on the gulf coast!! I think our excitement to cruise won over our better judgment. Also, the port of embarkation was only 45 minutes away. So we took the chance. Not again. We had zero issues and beautiful weather. But we were so close to danger...and blissfully unaware because of no cell signal. Next 14 day Caribbean cruise is in January...lol.
Great points! I agree the westbound cruises make more sense when you are on a vacation and gain the extra hour each day. I just came back from a Panama Canal Cruise full transit from LA to FLL and losing the one hour day over day especially on port days did not feel the best even though it was just a 3-hour change. With regards to Alaska cruises I love the shoulder cruises (beginning or end of season) actually. The fares are lower and never had extreme cold weather in May or Oct. I however do miss the salmon in May but the tons of whale sightings make up for it! Balcony for Alaska cruise is nice but not a must have in my opinion. The newer ships have such well designed common areas with great views of the outside that even an interior works great and helps you save some money for the expensive excursions at Alaskan ports.
Great video and everything is right on point. Only addition is that I don't think Viking is child friendly, but I have never sailed them. Saw children on an Alaska cruise on Holland America, but they were exceptionally well behaved (you never know, though).

We realized the time change thing after sailing Alaska from Vancouver to Seward. We live on the east coast and I should have chosen Seward as the starting point and sail down to Vancouver. It's why we chose to start in Barcelona and come back to the states. Thank you for affirming that
Good tips. Thanks so much.
Good video , thanks. I would, however, prefer a repositioning cruise from the US to Europe in the Spring and avoid the the Atlantic/Caribbean hurricane season. Most hurricanes never hit land but spin out spin out into the Atlantic Ocean. If you are unlucky you could have some very uncomfortable days onboard your ship.

That's the first thing I thought as well. .... I've never done a TA and don't intend to do one (work schedule and prefer port intensive cruises) but know that avoiding the Atlantic during hurricane season is wise especially when you are so far out sea.
Okay, I totally disagree with your comment regarding taking the transatlantic from the US to Europe. We took our second transatlantic in 2023. We are in our 70s. I found it a lot easier and totally acclimated to the time when we ended our trip in Italy and spent an additional two weeks I've been to Europe so many times in my lifetime and flying over there and trying to get adjusted to a 5, 6, 7 hour time zone change has always been awful.
Innaugural Disney cruise: we did this twice only to discover we were on the 2nd of 5 weeks of so called Innaugural cruises. The ship was nice but under staffed and by 10PM they literally rolled up the sidewalks.... Several bars never opened including the piano bar.No Karaoke ever operated. After the cruise Disney claimed they were still figuring out what worked best.
I'd rather reposition E to W, US to Europe. I just hate that overnight US to Europe flight. It's too short to get a full night's sleep, even in lie-flat seats. Flying back to the US might be longer, but I'd rather be awake and able to occasionallly walk around. To each his own.
Yup got cancelled for the Sun Princess inaugural cruise... Princess did give us a bunch of future cruise credits in addition to the refund of cruise price. Have rebooked for a later cruise that actually is more costly than this cruise but only an additional day of cruising. Could have cost us some additional $$$ in hotel and airfare but sort of held off until last minute to purchase. Concur with you though, won't sign up for another inaugural cruise again.
Good information.
Good advice
Great tips, thanks!
We like sailing one of the last week Alaska cruises because all the shops have great sales because they want to get their merchandise sold before packing up and closing for winter .
Another problem with an inaugural cruise is that it is the first time they are putting all systems aboard the ship to the full test. No fun not to have bathroom facilities while at sea for days because the ship was full and they had no parts to fix the problem.
Very great advice!
Holland America is marketing to families with kids sail free. We were on the Niew Amsterdam in December 2023 before Christmas and it was full of kids so much so that the kids took over the main swimming pool. Princess is also doing the same thing.

Our inaugural cruise for the Jubilee was canceled in November. But it worked out with future discounts, and we were able to book a back to back with money left over.
Maybe I just got lucky, but I cruised the inside passage in Alaska the first week of May 2023. We flew into Seattle to 90 degree days. We spent the whole cruise in the pools drinking frozen margaritas, I came home with a tan.

I would like to recommend acupuncture for sea sickness. I have suffered dearly from Sea Sickness, trust I had tried everything. Acupuncture is an amazing treatment with no side affects. Please think about it for future cruising.
Our first cruise was Alaska on Princess. It was in late June and had girls out at the pool in cut-off sweatsuits and bra tops. We commented that not very many people had swimsuits to one of the staff and they said two weeks ago they had an inch of snow of the decks.
We went on a Celebrity cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale the beginning of December and I think there might have been 6 kids on the whole ship. Choose your date wisely and aLways avoid school vacation weeks on land or sea!
Great Video!! who would have thought about losing an hour a day heading to Europe.
Viking cruises are also child free. Only people over 18 are allowed, and the truth is that most guests are above 40.
I don't know how it could make more sense for the time adjustment. I would rather fly back and gain all my hours, and get on with my day.
Can’t agree re Alaska cruises at end of season. We went on our first cruise in 2010 late September last ship of the season, 7 nights Vancouver to Seward on Holland America followed by 5 days to Denali and it was the most amazing experience ever! It was quieter with less ships, sales were on in shops, and the weather was settled and fine the whole time. We saw Denali (Mt McKinley) for 5 days with a cloudless sky!! It was a little cool but I could not say cold, we are from NZ and it was like our autumn. We enjoyed it so much we’re going on our second Alaska cruise in September this year also Holland America. Experience of a lifetime!!!
The reasoning is flawed. A transatlantic cruise crosses only about 5 time zones, so it’s impossible to lose one whole day, whichever direction and however many days you cruise.
we want from sydney to vancouver in april, and didnt have a single rough day!
love me some hurricane cruising for the costs!!! no cheaper time and also the least amount of kids. the ship is the destination for me. just get some beefy insurance, dramamine and adjusted expectations.
Not just the first (inaugural), but also the next several are risky for cancellation (Queen Anne, for example).
Thanks for the great advice. I was debating whether we should cruise Transatlantic from Florida to Barcelona or vice versa. We’ll fly there and cruise back. Watching this made up my mind.

Advice. Always book a hotel for at least a night at the beginning of a cruise and a night afterwards. This relieves anxiety. Mind you - we are a bit odd. We spend a week in Ushai before out Antarctica Expedition ( not cruise) . It was great!
I appreciate your content and sharing this info. I've been following your travel journey for quite a few years.Thank you.
Holland America is changing somewhat in that they are now encouraging families to cruise with them. One of the west coast cruises at Christmas had 400 children! Try not to go during any school vacation times.
Inaugural cruises can have breaking in pains as everybody gets used to the new ship equipment.
A few of these have caveats though, like a cruise in the Caribbean in hurricane season might be discounted enough to take the risk. You can get some very good deals. Also the Alaska repositioning might go to more unique places than the standard fare up the inside passage, and by risking the cold weather on the shoulder season you also cut down on the crowds and kids. (And AK cruises tend to have a bunch of kids in the summer, even on HAL and Princess.) So some of these are weighed by what's important to you.
Would like to do both take a trip to Europe and from Europe back to the US. Don't like to go on brand new ships. I like to let them go on a few trips first. Don't like Spring Break Cruises. Too many kids. Going during hurricane season is where you can get some good deals. Good thing I like to stay on the inside of a cruise ship.
Sometimes you can find a cruise over to Europe and one coming back a few days latter. It’s a lot better than flying

We got surprised by a spring break cruise. It was not spring break in our area, but it was for other areas! We were told there were 500 kids vs 150 for most spring breaks.

I have to agree that a late season cruise to Alaska is not a good idea! I sailed on the last Alaska cruise of the season. Ports had closed and it was cold and windy. Not good.
