Hey there,
February was a fun mix of cruise myths, quiet realizations, and that one comment that always shows up at the buffet. If you missed any issues this month (or want to revisit one), here’s a quick recap:
The Older You Are, the Less You Pay (#0047)
This issue explores the idea of a “lifetime cruise” where long-term living at sea gets cheaper with age. It looks past the dreamy headlines to unpack what life onboard would actually be like routines, community, space, healthcare and why the appeal says a lot about how people want travel to feel right now.
Cruise Overwhelm Is Real (#0048)
From endless dining options to jam-packed schedules, cruises can feel like a lot, even when they’re supposed to be relaxing. This one talks honestly about decision fatigue on board and how to enjoy your cruise without feeling like you’re “doing it wrong.”
I Thought This Would Be Boring (#0049)
Every cruise has at least one activity you expect to skip… until it ends up being the highlight. This issue is about keeping an open mind on board and why the thing you almost ignore can turn into your favourite memory.
Someone Always Says This at the Buffet (#0050)
If you’ve ever heard someone confidently explain how buffet food is “recycled,” this one’s for you. We unpack why this myth never dies, why it sounds believable, and what’s actually going on behind the scenes.
March issues are already in motion, more cruise realities, small surprises, and things no one tells you until you’re already on board.
See you next week 🚢
