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.

The Good

would you go on a Viking Cruise again well yeah cuz we booked to go again in the future

🥈ExpertCruise Buoys

I really enjoyed the city. The culture, people, and history of this country is fascinating and you can see why it will be the next tourist hotspot.

🥈ExpertCruise Buoys

I've lost about that much, which means I've gone from a 50 straight 48-in waist down to a 30-in waist now.

🥈ExpertCruise Buoys

So, it's a kind of bed that makes you want to set an alarm just so that you can get the maximum amount of time laying in that bed.

🥈ExpertCruise Buoys

I've never done a private tour before, but I kid you not, if I can afford it in the future, I'm going to be doing it and anyone who asks, I'm going to be like, do a private tour.

🥈ExpertCruise Buoys

It was pretty horrific, I'm not going to lie.
