Welcome to the Forum4Travel Cruise Forum
Planning a cruise, just returned from one, or simply looking for inspiration for your next voyage? Welcome to the Forum4Travel Cruise Forum – a place for travellers to discuss cruise holidays, cruise ships, cruise lines, ports of call, itineraries, shore excursions and cruise reviews.
Whether you're an experienced cruiser or preparing for your first cruise, we'd love you to join the conversation. Ask questions, share your experiences and help other travellers make the most of their time at sea.
Ask Cruise Questions & Get Travel Advice
Choosing the right cruise can be confusing, particularly with so many ships, cruise lines and itineraries available.
Start a discussion or reply to an existing thread if you need advice about:
- Choosing the best cruise line or cruise ship
- First-time cruise advice and what to expect onboard
- Cruise cabins – inside, oceanview, balcony and suites
- Cruise prices, packages and finding cruise deals
- Drinks packages, speciality dining and onboard restaurants
- Wi-Fi, gratuities and additional cruise costs
- Cruise packing tips and what to take onboard
- Embarkation, check-in and getting on and off the ship
- Shore excursions and independent tours
- Travelling with children and family cruises
- Solo cruising and cruises for couples
- Accessibility and cruising with reduced mobility
No question is too basic. If you're wondering about something before your cruise, there's a good chance another traveller is wondering the same thing.
Discuss Cruise Lines & Cruise Ships
Have you sailed with Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Disney Cruise Line, Holland America, Virgin Voyages or another cruise company?
Tell us what you thought.
Cruise ship reviews and first-hand experiences can be especially useful to travellers trying to decide between ships or cruise lines. Share your opinion of the cabins, food, entertainment, service, facilities, pools, bars, restaurants and overall experience.
If you've recently returned from a cruise, consider posting a cruise review with the ship name, itinerary and sailing date so future passengers can find it.
Cruise Destinations, Ports & Shore Excursions
A great cruise isn't only about the ship – the destinations and ports you visit can be just as important.
Discuss cruises and ports throughout:
- Mediterranean cruises
- Caribbean cruises
- Alaska cruises
- Australia and New Zealand cruises
- South Pacific cruises
- European cruises
- Norwegian Fjords cruises
- Baltic and Northern Europe cruises
- Asia cruises
- Middle East cruises
- Transatlantic and repositioning cruises
- World cruises
- River cruises
If you've visited a port, share your recommendations for things to do, shore excursions, beaches, restaurants, transport and independent sightseeing.
First-hand advice about what can realistically be seen during a day in port can be extremely valuable to other cruisers.
Share Your Cruise Review
Recently been on a cruise?
We'd particularly like members to post detailed cruise reviews. You don't need to be a professional travel writer – simply tell other travellers what you liked, what you didn't like and anything you wish you'd known before travelling.
Useful information can include:
- Cruise line and ship
- Cruise itinerary
- Cabin type
- Food and dining
- Entertainment
- Service
- Onboard facilities
- Ports and excursions
- Value for money
- Tips for future passengers
- Whether you would cruise on the ship again
Photos from your cruise are welcome too.
Going on a Cruise? Start a Discussion
If you've already booked a cruise, start a new thread and tell us where you're going.
Include the cruise line, ship, destination or itinerary in your thread title where possible. For example:
"First Royal Caribbean Cruise – Mediterranean Cruise Advice?"
"Princess Cruises Alaska – Best Shore Excursions?"
"P&O Australia Cruise – What Should I Pack?"
"MSC Cruise Review – Mediterranean Itinerary"
Specific titles make it easier for other travellers to find your question and help build a useful library of cruise information for future visitors.

The best travel advice often comes from people who have actually been there.
Whether you have completed dozens of cruises or you're considering your very first one, your questions, recommendations and experiences are welcome here.
