Are cruises getting worse? After hearing longtime cruisers say the same thing over and over, I decided to stop guessing and actually look at the data. For this video, I analyzed more than 30,000 cruise reviews dating back to 2010 across major cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Disney Cruise Line. Using ships from different eras within each fleet, I tracked how guest satisfaction changed before the 2020 shutdown and how reviews shifted after cruising restarted. The results were surprisingly consistent. In this video we’ll look at: • Why cruise satisfaction improved for years • What changed after 2020 • Which cruise lines declined the most • Why newer ships score higher than older ships • How gratuities, dining fees, service reductions, and loyalty changes affect guest satisfaction • Why cruising still works for millions of people despite these trends Whether you cruise Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC, Norwegian, Celebrity, or Disney, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed some of these changes yourself.
