For deck plans, cabin photos and videos, or pictures of a ship from any major cruise line, try Cruise Deck Plans. They're my go-to resource!

This jaw-dropping website has to be seen to be believed! You can see the actual mapped path of any cruise you've taken (in 3-D graphics, no less!), view future cruise maps, and order prints and custom cruise cards to commemorate your journeys! The website and app are free to use. I'm not affiliated with The Cruise Globe in any way other than as a huge fan, and receive no compensation. I simply love what they do and think you will, too!

Easily the largest online community of cruisers, Cruise Critic is a great resource for first-hand reviews, kudos and complaints. As with any online forum, you'll want to take everything with a grain or two of salt, but it's a great place to meet fellow cruisers through their roll call forums as well as get answers and (lots of) opinions about everything related to cruising. I post as "captain og" over there; if you see me, please say "hi!"

These are some of my favorite YouTube cruise channels:
