“No One Is Telling You The Truth”: Woman Shares Why No One Should Go On Cruises

Interview With Author

Cruises are advertised as adventurous, relaxing vacations at sea that anyone can enjoy regardless of their age and what they’re looking for in a trip. You can visit multiple countries in a short amount of time, you’ll have all of your meals included in the cost of the cruise, and you’ll never have to worry about rental cars or shuffling through the airport. As long as you’re okay being confined in a small space like a hamster, bon voyage!

Cruises definitely aren’t for everyone, and that’s why travel content creator Samantha Tatro is exposing the truth about what the experience of setting sail on a cruise is really like. Below, you’ll find a video that Samantha recently shared detailing why her first cruise was also her last, as well as conversations with Samantha and Leah Walker, former travel journalist at Leah Travels.

But after spending two weeks at sea, this travel content creator decided to expose the worst aspects of going on a cruise

“No one is telling you the truth about cruises and I can’t stand by anymore and just watch these happy cruise videos without saying anything so here are the terrible parts of cruises that no one really talks about.

As someone who spent two weeks on a cruise boat in Australia, I’m starting off with the most controversial take. Before I got on a cruise boat everyone told me the food was going to be amazing fine dining.”

“To that I just have one thing to say, which is lies – this is high school cafeteria food at best and it was awful. I think it’s genuinely made for like the simplest of taste buds.”

“Second, ostensibly when a cruise stops at a port you’re gonna wanna get off, do an excursion, do some sightseeing. The pricing of these excursions is outrageous. We easily spent like $200 per person on an excursion it lasted half a day, and I just kept thinking if I was on land I could rent like my own private boat for the day.”

“Look, these are cruise boats and they are massive. The environmental impact is simply unforgivable. If you even care one Iota about the planet, you would knock it on one of these ships. I think it says a lot about an industry that if you completely removed, it it would just immediately improve our carbon footprint. I said I wouldn’t knock it till I tried it but I tried it, and I’m never doing it again for the environmental reason alone.”

“Next, if you get seasick you are going to need seasickness meds. I don’t care what anyone says – you will get seasick.”

“Last but not least, getting around a cruise ship is literally hell – there is an insane amount of walking and if you’re gonna take the elevator you better be prepared to wait. And that’s part 1 of all the things I wish I’d known before I got on a cruise ship.”

@undiscoveredpathhome ❌NO MORE CRUISE SHIPS❌ And I’m sorry but you truly can’t convince me otherwise 🤷‍♀️ #cruiseship #cruisetok #cruiseshiplife #cruising ♬ vibey birds of a feather – Jordan Greenwald

“I personally will never go on a cruise again due to the environmental factors and labor issues”

To find out more about Samantha’s experience on a cruise, we reached out to her via email. Samantha is a travel blogger, lifelong expat and journalist based in Prague, and she was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about how she ended up on a cruise ship in the first place.

“My husband and I live in the Czech Republic, and our family lives in the US. We are always looking for ways to combine our travel and seeing our family. My husband’s family LOVES to cruise, and for their 10th wedding anniversary, they invited us to join them on a Princess Cruise through Australia,” the content creator explained. “I personally have never wanted to go on a cruise, as I had a feeling it probably wasn’t my cup of tea – but I didn’t want to knock it until I tried it.”

Going into the cruise, Samantha says her expectations were pretty low. “Because I knew the cruise would involve half the time on the ship (we had 6 days at sea if I remember correctly). As a foodie and passionate home cook too, I just didn’t think cruise food would live up to the hype,” she noted. “When my husband and I travel, we love to spend lots of time getting to know a certain place and try to travel adventurously, and I didn’t think cruising would be the best fit for me.”

"No One Is Telling You The Truth": Woman Shares Why No One Should Go On Cruises

It wasn’t all bad though. “The best thing about our cruise was the time we got to spend with family. We were able to see my husband’s family for lots of quality time,” Samantha shared. “In addition, the specialty restaurants where you have to pay extra (at least the steakhouse) wasn’t awful. I enjoyed all the stops, too, but I just wish we could have more time in each city. Having 7 or 8 hours at each port is simply not enough time to truly see each place.”

We were also curious what type of traveling the content creator would recommend as an alternative for people who actually do enjoy cruises. “I think it depends a lot on the type of travel people value and the experiences they value. There are lots of relaxing all-inclusive options or lovely hotels in adventurous areas for people seeking out alternatives,” she noted. “Our cruise was so expensive, and I often thought we could have had a really luxurious time on land for the same price – or less.”

“I’m happy if people enjoy cruises, but I’d really recommend people consider the environmental impact of cruising and the labor issues around cruising, too. There are so many other ways to travel that don’t have such terrible side effects,” the traveler added. “Cruising is a very specific type of experience, and I know many people love it for what it is – and I don’t think the intended audience for cruises wants anything to change. I personally will never go on a cruise again due to the environmental factors and labor issues.”

Cruises can create up to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions every day

"No One Is Telling You The Truth": Woman Shares Why No One Should Go On Cruises

Many people around the world seem to disagree with Samantha’s take on cruises, because millions of people set sail every year. According to Statista, 31.7 million passengers will hop on cruise ships this year, and that number is only expected to increase over the next few years. In fact, by 2027, cruises are projected to take 39.4 million passengers out to sea.

So what is it about these ships that passengers love? The Telegraph reports that cruises are particularly popular among Americans because they’re often affordable, they allow travelers to be “country collectors” without having to pack up and change accommodation multiple times, and they provide “hand-holding” for travelers who aren’t as comfortable navigating foreign countries.

However, there are certainly downsides to cruises as well. As Samantha pointed out, these massive ships certainly aren’t doing the environment any favors. In fact, Greenly reports that going on a cruise is even worse than flying, as these ships emit between 700 to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions every day. Meanwhile, there are over 450 cruise ships that could be out on the water at any given time.

Plus, CO2 emissions aren’t the only problem cruises create. They use an incredible amount of fuel and energy. Housekeeping for the rooms alone means that washing machines and dryers are constantly running on board, and passenger activities often use lots of energy as well. Then, there’s the issue of food waste. Many cruises offer all-inclusive buffets, which means leftover food is constantly being tossed out. And because of how isolated cruise ships are, this food can’t even be donated to homeless shelters or those in need.

“Some cruises can be nice, but they are generally designed for the masses, not the individual”

"No One Is Telling You The Truth": Woman Shares Why No One Should Go On Cruises

We were also lucky enough to get in touch with Leah Walker, CEO and Co-Founder of Garnier Creations and former travel journalist at Leah Travels, to hear why she’s not a fan of cruises either.

“I do not care for cruises because of the lack of control and freedom, inability to be spontaneous and explorative, and lack of cultural depth,” Leah shared. “I enjoy meticulously choosing every aspect of my trip. Yes, some cruises can be nice, but they are generally designed for the masses, not the individual.”

However, Leah does recognize that some people love cruises because they take much of the stress out of a vacation, especially for the novice traveler. “Cruises are also a good option for people with limited mobility or are in declining health. Fortunately, I am not in any of those categories,” she noted.

We were also curious to know if there’s anything cruise liners could do to change Leah’s mind. “I’ve been on five cruises, both ocean and river. I don’t think I’ll ever go on one of the stereotypical giant ocean cruise ships again,” she shared.

But Leah says she hasn’t completely sworn off all cruises. “I’d try something like a Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton Yacht or take a small ship to Antarctica.”

Finally, we wanted to know what kind of traveling Leah loves the most. “I prefer solo travel, so for me, cruising feels like a floating cattle car,” she told Bored Panda. “I travel to enrich my interests and preferences, rather than choosing from a menu of experiences designed for the masses.”

“I like being on my own schedule rather than the one slipped under my door each night. For me, a loose travel itinerary is ideal, with plenty of room for flexibility,” the travel expert added.

Well, cruises are primarily marketed as the perfect option for those with limited mobility, so yeah, those potential guests are going to want to know about the walking. There's also a big difference walking around a city, sight seeing, and walking through a few football field lengths of nondescript hotel hallways.

I have some mobility issues and people keep telling a cruise would be perfect because everything I need is there on board🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve watched too many videos of people walking miles and getting totally lost on cruise ships. If I’m staying a city it’s much more manageable because there’s public transport if the walking gets too much.

1) Mile for mile cruise ships have the higher carbon footprint of any transportation method. 250 g of CO2 pax/km vs 246 g for a short haul flight or 148 g for long-haul, or twice the average car. To compare, high speed trains is 4g pax/km 2) 210-220 cruise ships operate in Europe. Barcelona port hosts on average two cruise ships at any time. Those two ships alone emit as much CO2 as all the cars in the city, and more sulphur dioxide than *all the cars in all of Spain*. 3) Cruise ship passengers produce a lot of waste, EIGHT TIMES the amount produced by the average household per pax, while doubling the energy and water usage. 4) All but 2 of the 10 most polluted ports in Europe are cruise ships hubs. The other two are two major cargo ports, way larger than the others. Venice reduced pollution by 80% banning cruise ships entering the city. 5) On a single day a cruise ship pollutes as much as *32 YEARS* of the average car commuter

Assuming point 5 is true (probably fairly close) it should be pointed out that a cruise ship has 6,000+ people on it. So the fairer measurement would be how much it pollutes compared to at least 3,000 cars, not just one. An Oasis class ship gets about 12 feet per gallon, but that translates to almost 20mpg per person, which is better than most pickup trucks. The average car commuter is going to use less gas and emit less pollution than *any* mode of transportation used simultaneously by 6,000 people.

I'm on her side. It's so absurdly bad for our environment. The building, the travel, the leakages, the depositions of waste on high sea....I was only on a two day ferry ride and it was already boring despite it being a cruise ferry. You are stuck on this hotel - shopping mall mix, most of the time only the the inside or plain sea and you have to spend money for nearly anything besides sitting somewhere (for what you paid with your ticket). Sitting somewhere while polluting on an excessive level....I don't like it. I'd rather make a small river cruise (they are at least possible with electro power instead of fossil) and see more than just water, walls and waste

The cruise line and ship make a huge difference. Going on a jumbo sized ship will give the experience OP described. A cheap cruise can be a crappy vacation. My parents started us on our very first cruise with a smaller luxury line and we have never regretted it! We still go with that group whenever possible for the locations we want. In the case of a cruise money talks.

Agreed. Judging the entire industry based on one of those super sized floating mall/casinos is pretty silly. There are much smaller crafts, less people, but much more expensive. Plus, her statement that "everyone gets seasick" is just silly. Besides, you can bring the meds with you, they're OTC and legal.

This lady does not know what she is talking about and should not be a "travel content creator". 1. No one who has been on a cruise will tell you the food is great unless you go on one of the better lines where it is. 2. Excursions, like everything, can be expensive, but I don't know anywhere you can rent a private boat for the day for $200. 3. Most people do not get seasick on a cruise. 4. If you take a minute to learn the layout of the ship it's way less walking. I can only judge by what I see on the post, but I'm betting she is lazy. 6. The only thing she got right and what seems like her true reason for the post is that cruises are bad for the environment.

Yep, a ridiculous post from somebody on their first cruise and who clearly made a bad choice with the cruise line they chose. I do get motion sick, have now been on 2 cruises and neither time did I get even a little bit motion sick. The food was waaay way better than I anticipated on the first cruise and even better (more fine dining experiences) on the 2nd one. Complimentary coffee, fresh fruit, croissants, yoghurt etc in my room every morning for first breakfast, yes please! I loved all the walking, avoided the elevators and preferred taking the stairs. Nobody is required to go on all or *any* of the excursions. I liked staying on the ship when in port for half of the stops and because I opted for a cabin with a window the first time and balcony the 2nd time, I spent time in my room to avoid the crowds as much as possible. The whole point for me and I am sure I am not alone was to have the experience of being on the water on a large ship with (almost) all the amenities of home.

"No one who cares about the environment would ever get on a cruise ship," she says from the deck of a cruise ship. Seriously? I've been on a number of cruises, never seen food like that unless I'm wandering around at 3am and drop in to the all-night cafe, and even then it's looked a lot better than that. A $200/person shore excursion is pretty expensive. Usually that's something like a day spa, a charter boat trip or something like that. Tours start around $20 and might get to over $100 if it's something big and/or far away. The cruise I have booked now has a half-day Mayan ruins tour for less than $80 per. Hell, there's a submarine tour, on a real sub, not one of those glass-bottom semisubmersibles, for $100 per. You can find excursions for $200, but they're usually at overpriced venues. You can also book the tours yourself instead of through the cruise line for a big savings, but unlike ship-booked tours, the ship won't wait for you if the tour operator gets you back late.

I went on a cruise around the Caribbean when I was a teenager with my parents. Loved every second. I got seasick, didn't care. The food was amazing, very diverse as well. It's a holiday we still talk about now. We did choose one of the smaller ships, I'd go again in a heartbeat.

Her only real point, the environmental impact...she did not have to GO ON ONE to somehow prove that! Like what, she got on board and only then could she access the secret ocean google to find the data? Did she smell the petrol when she was on board? The rest of this is spoiled and silly. She was told it was fine dining? By WHO? She thought the food was made for mild palates? Yes, that's how catering to the masses works. Nobody uses the words "fine dining" and "buffet" in teh same sentance babe. Nobody told her she had to WALK to her room, nobody told her elevators have lines in busy places...she's pretty privileged if those are new things in her life. Her problem is that she didn't realise cruises are considered nice and marketed towards *middle class folks looking for a big trip* not the upper end luxury market.

All the food except one appears to be from the 24/7 cafe that's really only there for a quick snack. And all the photography is blurry and desaturated which makes it look worse than it is anyway. At any rate, if you want to experience fine dining on a cruise ship you can but you have to actually go to where the fine dining is, not the buffet or the coffee shop.

Caveat Emptor. She got exactly what she paid for and she did not go out of her way to search out any better options for food or excursions. And as for the walking... I could definitely have done without that picture. And how in the world did she not anticipate the walking knowing that once the cruise came to Port she had to disembark and go to the destinations. Did she think they were going to bring the Excursion on board for her? Judging by her General appearanc, such as the way she dressed, she wasn't trying to go or do anything that was refined. She paid for basic, she went basic, and she got basic. Her post is not a real "revew" it's just a lazy person's opinion.

The real problem is if one person onboard is sick, chances are you'll get sick. Cruises are notorious for spreading disease, and obviously the environmental aspects. I don't really get what's wrong with walking though

Game Guy 2 months ago

Not really true. They're pretty good about maniacally cleaning everything all the time, and if you're sick they grab you and isolate you before you can infect other people. Outbreaks happen but they're very rare - it's just that when they do happen the news reports it for a week, but doesn't report that the 301 other cruise ships sailing around at the same time don't have any illnesses on board. Statistically, cruise ships cause fewer than 17 illnesses per 100,000 travel days. On average, you could move to a cruise ship and live there permanently and you'd get sick once every 273 years. You are much more likely to get sick if you send your kids to school and then let them back in the house. ;)

I have never been on a cruise, but outside of the food (which I've always heard was pretty decent on cruises), I must say that everything she described seems obvious? Like of course there will be a lot of walking, of course they are bad for the environment, of course the excursions will be expensive, of course there is a risk of getting seasick. You booked a vacation on a floating metropolis - what did you expect?

millac 3 weeks ago (edited)

I'm going to agree that cruises are for people who don't actually like to travel. They want to park themselves in some all-inclusive resort where they don't have to think about a single thing or move all that much, but they don't want to be seen as non-adventurous, so they pick the cruise. Or they actually want a staycation where they lay on the couch and drink all day, but would prefer that they don't have to see their children, so they pick the cruise because they can dump the kiddos in the kid's club. The other attraction of a cruise is that it's what I'd call "disneyland luxury". It's not actual, real, luxury like the rich get to experience, but for a moderate price, you get to be in what is essentially a fake city that's a little bit nicer than your own city, where it feels incredibly safe, unlike any real city, and you get to pretend you're fancy stuff for a few days as you playact at having a nanny and private staff. It's an achievable experience of "luxury" for the middle and lower classes.

One cruise and you're an expert? As a "Travel Content Creator" did you travel to one Island and provide your 'opinion' on every Island in the world? The levels of service and quality of food vary hugely between Cruise Ships and Cruise Companies and anybody who has gone on more than one cruise will tell you that. In addition, you expressed so many opinions about the fact that you didn't think cruising was for you before you went, it is obvious that your assessment was never going to be fair or genuine. Anybody who presents their personal opinions and biases in the guise of being a creator should at least do proper research and present something of value rather than trying to trick the public into believing they know what they are talking about. I've never heard of this 'Content Creator" and is obvious why.

I've been on over 20 cruises. 1) The food as varied from good to fantastic. Cruise on a bargain line and you get what you pay for. 2) No one forced you to book an excursion through the cruise line. That was YOUR choice. 3) I've gotten seasick exactly once, in really heavy seas. 4) Oh, no you were forced to walk? How cruel!

I went on a Carnival Cruise to the Cayman Islands. It was my first and last. I wasn't impressed with anything aboard the ship. The drinks are watered down and overpriced. The food was like banquet food you'd get a reception. Everyone kept telling me how you can eat as much as you want of everything and while that may be true, I'm not interested in gluttony. To find a quiet spot on deck, you need to get up early to beat the crowd and I didn't find the nightly entertainment to be a spectacular experience.

Do your research, folks. Cheaper cruise lines, like Carnival, are going to routinely serve lower quality food. Ships are BIG, so a lot of walking is involved. Excursions of any kind will be expensive. So will anything in the gift shop. And, yes - the carbon footprint is huge. The old saying, "buyer beware" needs to come back into fashion because some folks are blissfully ignorant before spending huge amounts of money.

Love cruises! Never got seasick, went to the beaches for free, got amazing food in the dining room, and made memories with my family.

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon. Got "upgraded" to a room with a porthole, otherwise there would have been no window at all. Unfortunately, the room was tiny with two SEPARATE smaller-than-twin sized beds. The bathroom was minuscule. Our room was directly across from the STAFF TOILET which stank to high heaven. Our luggage was not in our room as it should have been, but I found it, in a 6 foot high pile outside an elevator. Barf bags were placed out about every 5 feet on the hallway handrails. Food was average. Drinks were not included. Entertainment was non-existent almost. Nightclubs were empty even though the ship was full. Ports of call in Bahamas were less than spectacular, except for the little cay owned by the cruise line. I will never go on a cruise again.

Cruise ships are like giant shopping malls you can't leave from. Come to think of it, my personal hell is probably a cruise ship.

Has an entire buffet, goes for chips. This is like Brits abroad in all inclusive hotels that won't try the "foreign food".
