10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting a Cruise YouTube Channel
What is it really like to run a cruise YouTube channel? When I started Jetways to Gangways, I thought I would film our cruises, put the videos on YouTube, and share the experience. I had no idea how much I still had to learn. Over time, I discovered that being a cruise content creator involves a lot more than simply taking a camera on vacation. There’s filming, planning, research, editing, audio, storytelling, consistency — and figuring out how to enjoy the cruise while still getting the footage you need. In this video, I’m sharing 10 things I wish I had known before I started my cruise YouTube channel, including some lessons I had to learn the hard way. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a cruise travel channel — or you’re thinking about starting one yourself — I hope my experience gives you a realistic look at what it’s actually like. And if you’re here because you love cruising rather than YouTube, this is a little peek behind the camera at what goes into the videos you normally see here on Jetways to Gangways. Tour the Ships. See the Sights. Love the Journey. #CruiseYouTube #CruiseContentCreator #cruisevlogger My videos in general revolve around my experiences aboard cruise ships: travel vlogs, ship and cabin tours, history and information about ports of call, and tips that make my cruising trips economical and enjoyable.
