We polled our community back in January, asking what they want the cruise lines to change in 2024. We got some great responses. But that was just the start of the conversation. Since that initial video, we have received even more cruiser complaints. So, we put together this latest video of the 10 additional things cruisers want the cruise lines to stop doing in 2024!

10 MORE CRUISER COMPLAINTS THE CRUISE LINES NEED TO ADDRESS
After our last video, we heard from several cruisers about some of the changes to cruising that they want the cruise lines to address. The biggest cruise complaint we missed in our first video has to do with adults-only spaces. Many cruisers want the cruise lines to enforce their rules when it comes to these spaces, as often kids are found freely roaming these reserved spaces that are supposed to be for adults.
Another thing cruisers want the cruise lines to change is the post-cruise surveys. While these surveys can be helpful, on some cruise lines, the crew constantly nag cruisers to give them 10-star ratings, which defeats the purpose of requesting feedback.
In our previous video, cruisers pointed out that they want cruise lines to better monitor entitled cruisers who cut lines, rush elevators, and think they are better than everyone else. One type of cruiser we missed was the obsessively drunk cruiser. Many cruisers want the cruise lines to enforce policies on overserving alcohol and monitor those who have too much to drink.
Cruisers also want the cruise lines to stop changing their loyalty programs. While sailing with one cruise line to get perks is appealing, many cruisers pointed out that cruise lines have made changes that water down these programs. Now, there are fewer incentives to remain loyal to one brand.
Cruisers are also sick of cruise lines building bigger ships. Every line seems to be focused on building larger vessels. Now, the only way to sail on a smaller ship that isn't 20 years old is to sail with a luxury cruise line.
Further, cruisers want the cruise lines to include better signage and directions when building these mega-ships. We can attest that sometimes it is difficult to find venues or public spaces on modern cruise ships, like restrooms. It is easy to get lost on some of these large cruise ships, and cruisers want the cruise lines to improve passenger flow.
While the cruise lines can address several cruise passenger complaints, some cruisers took aim at their fellow sailors. Several cruisers said they want others to stop complaining about cruising. These passengers are sick of hearing other cruisers complain about how much better cruises used to be.
We tend to agree. While cruising has changed, it is still the best way to travel the world to experience new destinations and meet new people. So, while it isn't perfect, it is still the ideal way to sea the world one port at a time.
