Cruise passengers reveal the destinations they'd NEVER go to again
Cruise holidays give tourists the chance to tick off several top destinations on one trip.
But unfortunately, not every port leaves passengers hungry for more.
Experienced cruisers have taken to Reddit to share their main cruise regrets – and for many people, it's a destination that didn't quite hit the mark.
So, where will these cruisers be leaving off their itinerary?
The largest island in French Polynesia, Tahiti, is often considered to be one of the world's most luxurious places to cruise.
But that's not the case for Reddit user 'Jammu2' who says: 'The actual island of Tahiti and the capital Papeete are pretty grim.'
And another person adds that they had to pay $30/£21.85 for a glass of beer in the luxury island location.
It's a Jamaican destination that 'VagabondCamp' won't be returning to. They say: 'Falmouth, Jamaica - small hole in the wall town - we left the port area and got screamed at, followed, blocked from walking etc.'
Cruiser 'mga1' agrees, adding: 'There isn't anything around. There isn't much to see/shop/eat in the area.'
For 'wanderingstorm', there are several destinations that have left them with no desire to return.
They say: 'I wasn't impressed with Western Caribbean, Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya etc. It was fine but nothing I had much desire to see again once the cruise was over.'
And 'GroundbreakingHeat38' slams Costa Maya, a cruise port in Mexico, as 'awful'. They claim: [It's] a big tourist trap type stop and you couldn't even go in the ocean, there was no beach.'
The Bahamas has also sadly left several cruise guests unimpressed with 'Express-Bee-6485' moaning that they 'should've stayed on [the] ship!'
'Elvisdog12' even describes Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas and a leading cruise destination, as 'straight up gross'.
Europe isn't spared on the thread with 'malbecois' claiming: 'I could do without stopping in Olympia on future cruises.'
They explain their dislike for the Greek destination by saying: 'It sounded interesting, but the Olympic site was a bit of a let-down compared to other historical ruins. And damn was it hot!'
And 'PMyra' had their cruise ruined by a terrible excursion to a 'factory' in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.
They claim the trip was 'nothing but sales pitches and forced shopping' adding that they now 'avoid' any factory excursions.
Meanwhile another cruise guest says they need a 'a vacation to recover after a Mediterranean cruise', explaining that 'there's a port every day and you're usually waking up at 6am to do whatever is planned'.
Cruise guests have also been warned that trips to a popular European destination are about to get a little pricier.
Norway has announced that local governments will be able to charge a three per cent levy on overnight stays and cruise ship visitors.
The tax is due to launch in the summer of 2026 and has been designed in response to overtourism in the Nordic country.

Issue raised by confused Gen Z hotel guest leaves thousands feeling older than ever: 'What on earth is THIS?'
A young traveller's innocent query about a strange wall socket in their French hotel suite has triggered a wave of nostalgic panic online - with thousands admitting they felt 'older than ever' after reading it. The British hotel guest posted a photo of a wall plate featuring a small rectangular opening marked with the word 'Legrand' - a well-known French manufacturer of electrical fittings - and asked: 'What is this thing?' Sharing the image with a Euro coin for scale, the confused traveller added on Reddit: 'It almost looks like the sort of thing that you slide a security chain into - but it's nowhere near the door or windows. 'I'm British and travel fairly extensively, particularly on the continent, but I don't think I've ever seen one of these before.' To anyone born before the smartphone era, the answer was obvious: it's a landline telephone socket. The device was once a common fixture in nearly every home, hotel room and office around the world. But for younger generations, it's nothing short of a relic. 'Damn, that's hitting the getting old target really hard,' one user wrote. 'That's a phone socket for house phones. Not sure what the word is in English. Landline phone?' Another joked, 'I'm feeling older every day… That was the socket used to plug landline telephones. Welcome to the 20th century.' The socket in question is known in France as a 'prise en T' - a T-shaped telephone jack developed by the French postal and telecom service. Similar to the UK's BT-style plug or Australia's RJ11 ports, it was designed for analog landline phones before digital and mobile technology took over. Once a lifeline for everyday communication, landline phones have slowly fallen out of use over the past two decades, as mobile phones became more affordable and accessible. In Australia, the shift began in earnest in the mid-2000s. By 2010, mobile phones had already overtaken landlines as the primary form of communication. Today, fewer than half of Australian households maintain a fixed phone line - with most of those used by older residents or for emergency services. In 2022, data from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) showed that just 34 per cent of households still had a home phone service connected - and many of those were bundled as part of internet plans rather than used regularly. One commenter summed up the mood best: 'It's wild to think that kids today won't even know what a dial tone sounds like. We used to trip over cords in the hallway, now you barely see a house phone anywhere.' While telephone sockets like the one in the French hotel room are still technically functional - and may even connect to a working line in some properties - their presence today is more often decorative or leftover from another era. As one Aussie wryly put it: 'It's official. We're old. The landline is now a museum piece.'

EXCLUSIVE The homeless Ibiza workers forced to camp in shanty towns after being priced out by spiralling rents on party island… as tourists revel in luxury
An army of homeless Ibiza workers are being forced to sleep in makeshift camps after being priced out of their homes. Striking images show what looks like a shanty town with makeshift accommodation on a patch of scrubland dubbed Can Rova 2. In contrast, just a few miles away, tourists, including hundreds of thousands of Brits, party the night away and stay in luxurious villas and hotels. Residents blame overtourism for the crippling housing crisis that has gripped the party island. Famed for its vibrant nightlife, crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches and warm sunshine, Ibiza's allure comes at a cost. There simply is not enough housing to accommodate the millions of tourists who visit each year, leading to a surge in illegal holiday rentals. The situation has been made worse by the conversion of residential properties into short-term holiday lets, shrinking the supply of long-term rentals. Enrique Gómez Bastida, director of the department that combats illegal housing in Ibiza, said the rise of tourist villas and even extra rooms rented out in houses has stretched the island's resources to the limit. Soaring property prices have caused a housing crisis so severe that many municipal workers – including judges, police officers and medial workers – are now unable to afford to live there. Locals have been forced to move into shanty towns and even tents. However, it is not residents alone who have been impacted by the crisis but some tourists too. In some cases, holidaymakers arrive on the island to find they have been tricked into paying for non-existent flats or even phantom luxury villas, Gómez Bastida, a former lieutenant colonel in the Civil Guard, said. 'Housing access is a real and serious problem,' he told The i Paper. 'Increasing tourist accommodation poses a problem of overcrowding on the island and therefore, an imbalance in the tourist ecosystem.' The island's council has recently introduced a major new rule designed to combat overtourism. It is now limiting the number of tourist cars and caravans that can visit. In place from June 1, the rule is set to run until September 30 throughout peak season in Ibiza. During the four-month period, only 20,168 vehicles used by non-residents will be allowed on the island. Up to 16,000 of these can be rental cars while the other 4,108 will be for tourists who travel by ferry to the island with their own vehicle. Tourists who want to take their own car to Ibiza will need to obtain a permit at a cost of €1/84p per day. Caravan owners will need to provide evidence of a campsite booking and will not be allowed into Ibiza if they plan to wild camp at the side of the road. Although Ibiza has just 160,000 residents, it gets more than three million tourists per year. As the number of tourists has risen, more cars have hit the road, causing congestion across the island. Ibiza has recently seen protests against tourism with locals complaining that the industry has caused housing to become unaffordable. Last year, more than 1,000 protestors took to the streets in Ibiza to rage against mass tourism. And, earlier this month thousands of locals marched across Spanish Islands to tell Brits to 'go home' as part of widespread protests against so-called 'overtourism'. Holidaymakers were visibly stunned by the dramatic demonstrations in Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza on June 15. Around 1,000 protesters took part in the Ibiza march organised by major anti-tourism platform Canviem el Rumb, which has been carrying out demonstrations in the Spanish holiday hotspot over the last year. Security was stepped up to protect tourists from the demonstrators, who left Portal de Ses Taules in the town centre at around 6pm and ended at Plaza de sa Graduada, in front of the courts at 9pm.
