Cruise expert reveals most ‘overrated’ destination she’s visited
- Former cruise ship worker Alley Kerr advises new cruisers to explore destinations beyond the Caribbean, which she finds repetitive and lacking in diversity.
- Kerr highly recommends the Mediterranean for its varied cultures, historical sites, and diverse offerings, citing her own positive experience there.
- She also suggests cruising in Asia, having had "amazing" experiences on sailings around countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.
- Kerr notes that cruising offers a less daunting way for novice travellers or older demographics to experience new parts of the world without the stress of independent travel.
- She shared insights into cruise ship crew life, mentioning the poor quality of food for staff but highlighting the excellent compensation, including free living expenses and high earning potential for performers.
