Ever wondered what a cruise ship really looks like before setting sail? Welcome to Cruise Inspections – your ultimate backstage pass to some of the world’s most popular (and sometimes underrated!) ships. This is where I, The Walking Critic, climb aboard, dig into the details, and bring you the full walk-through – no boarding pass required.
As a Cruise Master with CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) and one of the world’s leading cruise experts, I’ve explored countless decks, tested more buffet stations than I can count, and know exactly what makes or breaks a great cruise experience. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor, these inspections are designed to help you choose the right ship with confidence.
Expect real insights, loads of photos, and immersive YouTube video tours that bring each ship to life. From quirky cabins and luxe suites to spas, theaters, bars, and buffet layouts (yes, I take my food inspections very seriously), I leave no lounge unturned.
Some of these inspections happen during port visits, others during media days or full walkarounds – but no matter where I board, you’ll get a genuine look at life on deck.

Scroll through the inspections, dive into the videos, and get a feel for the vibe, layout, and experience of each ship – all before you even pack your suitcase. With The Walking Critic, cruise planning just got a whole lot easier – and way more fun.
