After 100+ regular ocean cruises, I finally tried a sailing ship cruise — and almost everything I assumed going in turned out to be wrong.I sailed with Windstar on their 342-passenger flagship Wind Surf, an 8-night Venice to Rome itinerary on a five-mast sailing ship. 
In this video I cover what I discovered including:
* How similar (and different) the onboard experience actually is to a regular cruise ship
* The truth about sailing with sails
* Cabin trade-offs and issues
* Itinerary upsides, downsides, and risks 
* Whether the premium price is worth it
* and who this type of cruise is really for
