Creator's Key Takeaways

It was a nightmare getting on this ship today.

The Rome Cruise Terminal in Cevitia, that's how you say it, is literally the worst cruise port I've ever been to.

The buffet on embarcation day is pure chaos.

Our luggage is in Copenhagen.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the buffet on embarkation day and use alternative restaurants.
Pack patience and a snack for the queue.
Check cruise ship app and official sources for port information.
