What Creators Are Saying About Dockside Travel
It was a nice thing to do because it was super hot, super humid, and after having four days in ports previous, it was a nice day to just kind of relax.

I've cruised a lot. I've never had an issue with that. I've never had an issue with that.

The better question is will Splash of Romance add enough value to my vacation to justify buying it?
Melanin Pride Travels
Celebrity Beyond passed our imbarcation day test, but honestly that was not the test I was worried about.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“If this port is on your sailing, do not treat it as a secondary stop. Give it everything you have.”
“If there's one cruise port you should experience before you die, it's this one, St. John's, Newfoundland, our hometown.”
“St. John's does not feel like a generic cruise stop. It feels unmistakably like Newfoundland and that's exactly why it earns our five out of five Dockside Port rating.”
“Santorini was my number one. I almost could not believe I was there.”
“we came away thinking this might be the single most impressive archaeological port day on any Mediterranean itinerary.”
“The biggest issues you're going to have are getting into the port, which is brutal.”
“Our day in Casablanca did not go as expected. It was probably the worst tour we've ever had organized for us.”
“It was brutal.”
“I would maybe reconsider cruising on this ship and Celebrity Beyond out of Miami because of the Port of Miami logistics.”
“I actually found a couple little pieces of metal in mine.”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Dockside Travel.
Have your transport sorted before you step off the ship.
Agree on a price with a taxi before you get in.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as the marble is uneven and there are slopes.
Start early and bring water due to significant summer heat.
Budget 2 to 3 hours for a proper visit to Ephesus.
Don't try to see everything; choose one major experience or a strong pairing to avoid rushing.
Be outside well before the scheduled arrival time to watch the ship sail through the Narrows.
Bring layers and a light waterproof layer because weather and temperatures change quickly.
