Cruise Smarter with Hollett’s At Sea | Tips, Reviews & YouTube Fun for Every Cruiser

Cruise Smarter. Laugh Harder. Travel Better.

Welcome aboard Hollett’s At Sea, your home port for cruise hacks, honest reviews, and laugh-out-loud travel advice.
We’re Adam and Mary, a husband-and-wife travel duo who believe vacations should start with a cocktail, not confusion.
Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor, our goal is to help you plan smarter, pack lighter, and get the most fun for your money.

Not just cruises: We also help plan Disney vacations, Universal Orlando trips, and all-inclusive resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico.
Same level of care. Same humor. Fewer “what did I forget?” moments.

We’ve been there, scrolling through endless Facebook posts trying to figure out what’s included, which drinks are worth it,
and whether formal night still matters. That’s why we built this site: to make trip planning clear, simple, and actually fun again.

What You’ll Find Here

Cruise Planning Made Easy:
We break down the details no one tells you, like how to choose the right cabin, what to pack (and what to leave at home),
when to book, and how to avoid paying double for things you don’t need.

Real Reviews & Honest Comparisons:
From budget-friendly inside cabins to all-inclusive resorts and theme park trips, we compare real vacation options with zero fluff.
Our YouTube videos and blog posts show what’s actually worth the hype and what’s just clever marketing.

Essential Cruise Gear:
Need magnetic hooks, waterproof phone pouches, or the perfect go-bag for port days?
We’ve tested it all so you don’t waste money on stuff that sinks instead of sails.
Visit our Cruise Essentials page for curated recommendations and Amazon finds we actually use.

Free Cruise Packing List:
Before you start zipping those bags, grab our
free printable packing list.
It’s helped tons of cruisers pack like pros (without forgetting the one thing you can’t buy easily onboard).

Travel Beyond the Ship:
Cruising is our first love, but we’re also here for land vacations.
If you’re planning Disney, Universal Orlando, or all-inclusive resorts,
we’ll help you build the trip from start to finish with clear guidance, smart recommendations, and a plan that fits your budget.
