Pitfalls

What makes them hesitate

  1. Despite the exceptionally high cost of some luxury cruises, the experience may not always feel vastly superior to other competing luxury lines.
  2. Even when excursions are included for free on luxury cruises, their descriptions can sometimes be misleading or poorly adjusted for sudden bad weather.
  3. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has limited onboard activities, mostly consisting of live music and trivia, with minimal high-energy programming or nightlife.
