Cruise Buoys description on YouTube:

We are Justin, Tristan & Josh We started cruising in 2019 with a Norwegian Fjords cruise on P&O Britannia, we fell in love with the ship and cruising and quickly booked a further cruise in the summer on MSC Bellissima. We now have completely caught the bug and have cruised on multiple ships and cruise lines over the last few years. We love to travel and wanted to share our journeys with the world and they are our way of remembering the great times we’ve had a chance to share some of the tips and tricks we use when travelling as a family.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Cruise Buoys.

  1. Double check which port you are departing from in Barcelona, as the World Trade Center port is much more convenient for the city center.

  2. Book a haircut onboard for a relaxing experience, but be aware it's not cheap.

  3. Withdraw local currency (lek) at ATMs upon arrival, as it's a closed currency.

  4. Take the cable car for panoramic views of Tirana.

  5. Visit Bunk'Art 1 for a historical experience, but be prepared for an intense atmosphere.

  6. Consider taking the train to Southampton for a straightforward route to the port.

  7. Be prepared for a late dining time if you choose the late seating.

  8. Focus on nutrition and strength training for sustainable weight loss.
