Cruise Q's

While the cruise industry was on pause due to COVID-19, our regular YouTube channel was also on pause. During that time, we recorded a series called "Cruise Questions"—or "Cruise Q’s"—where we asked a "Cruise Q" conversation starter, then shared our answers and invited viewers to do the same in the Comments.

• What was your first cruise?

• What is your favorite port that you have visited?

• What is your favorite cruise ship dessert?

• What is your favorite cruise ship activity?

• Inside, Oceanview, or Balcony?

• What is your favorite nighttime ship entertainment?

• What is your top tip for first-time cruisers?

• What is your favorite cruise port beach?

• What is your favorite new food from a cruise ship?

• What is your favorite departure port?
