🇩🇴 She Changed My Mind About Cruise Ships: Party, Relaxation, or Hidden Gem?

Cruise ships get a bad reputation — some people think they’re boring, overpriced, or “only for older folks.” I'm one of those people who never wanted to get on a cruise ship due to the Titanic and wild news stories. So I decided to have a real conversation with an experienced cruiser while standing right here in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. In this video, we break down the truth about cruise ships from the perspective of someone who’s been cruising since their 20s — not as a sales pitch, but as practical travel advice. 🚢 We talk about: Why cruising can actually be better when you’re younger Using cruise ships as transportation, not the destination Budget-friendly travel (food, lodging, transport included) Exploring ports on your own vs cruise excursions Caribbean vs Mediterranean cruising When not to cruise (hurricane season matters) Wave safety and smooth sailing concerns Which cruise lines fit different personalities: Party vibes vs quiet luxury Adults-only vs family-heavy ships Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Virgin, Princess — and who each is best for This is a casual, honest, street-level travel conversation that happened organically — and that’s what makes it valuable.
