Cruise Vlogger Reveals Top 6 Annoyances with Fellow Passengers
Cruise Culture Critic: Vlogger Highlights Passenger Annoyances on the High Seas A popular travel vlogger, known as 'I LIVE on a SHIP' (@dutchworld_americangirl), recently sparked discussion by sharing her top six pet peeves regarding fellow cruise ship passengers. In a video uploaded on September 17, 2025, the vlogger, who identifies as a 'Full time Traveler' having visited '109 countries,' candidly addressed behaviors she finds frustrating during her extensive time at sea. Among the points raised, the vlogger expressed her indifference towards the trend of hiding rubber ducks on ships, stating, 'If you want to hide ducks on a cruise ship, you hide those ducks.' She also challenged the notion of strict dress codes, remarking, 'Everyone cruises their own way,' and questioning why passengers get 'upset if two tables away Bruce is wearing jeans to dinner.' Addressing the perceived social hierarchy among cruise lines, she countered the 'bad rap' Carnival Cruise Line sometimes receives, noting, 'There are a lot of wealthy people that cruise Carnival Cruise Lines.' She also touched on the inevitability of weather-related itinerary changes, advising against complaining to the front desk, as 'You can't control the weather, and neither can the captain.' Further, the vlogger clarified misconceptions about cruise worker pay, explaining that while employees work long hours, their earnings in USD, when converted to their home currency, can be significantly higher than local wages. Lastly, she urged passengers to 'stop packing for cruises like you're packing for camping,' reminding them that 'a cruise ship is just a floating hotel.' The video, offering a seasoned traveler's perspective, has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 439,500 views.
