Cruise Reviews

Crusie ship and cruise line reviews by The Walking Critic ~ the travel and lifestyle blog of an award-winning writer and entrepreneur.

Ahoy, fellow wanderers of the waves! Welcome to Cruise Reviews—where I take to the high seas, so you know exactly which ships are worth the splurge, and which ones might just leave you high and dry (figuratively, of course… hopefully).

I’ve spent many years promoting marine tourism, and when it comes to cruises, I think I know a thing or two—from my greying hair to my slightly judgmental eye for buffet quality. After all, I do own several travel and cruise businesses and have personally moved over 250,000 people on boats and ships around the globe over the last 20 years.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering—I’m days away from being annoited by the industry as a Cruise Master. That’s not just a fancy title; it’s the highest accreditation offered by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Translation? I live and breathe cruise life—and I know what makes a sailing spectacular… or subpar.

My mission is simple: experience more cruises and share my honest, entertaining, and refreshingly unfiltered take on every floating hotel I step aboard. From mega-liners with waterslides to boutique ships with butlers, I’ll cover it all—with detailed reviews, quirky observations, and topics that veer deliciously outside the square.

So whether you're a first-time cruiser or a platinum-tier sea veteran, dive into my reviews before you book your next voyage. Your perfect cruise might just be a scroll away—and I’ve done the legwork (and deck work) for you.

Cruise Lines, Let's Make Waves Together!

Are you in the business of building unforgettable voyages? Whether you’re launching the latest luxury liner, promoting a boutique expedition cruise, or simply want to put your ship in front of curious (and cruise-hungry) travelers—I’m all aboard.

With decades in the industry, multiple cruise businesses under my belt, and over 250,000 passengers moved by sea, I don’t just write about cruises—I live them. I bring industry expertise, credibility, and a loyal audience that values sharp insights, honest reviews, and a good laugh along the way.

The Walking Critic delivers more than pretty pictures and polite praise. I offer detailed, entertaining, and refreshingly real reviews that travelers trust—and that cruise lines appreciate for their authenticity and reach.

If you're looking to showcase your ship, your brand, or your onboard experience through the eyes of someone who’s seen it all (and isn't afraid to say what works and what doesn't), let’s talk.

Anchors up. Let’s set sail—and tell a story worth cruising for.
