YouTube Video Description

It’s taken me several weeks to post this, because it’s the worst thing I’ve ever observed on a cruise, and the memory is still seared in my brain. Cruisers, please be careful when getting around on rented scooters and motorcycles at cruise port locations. This situation was with a local, who’s experienced with getting around, and can be especially dangerous for inexperienced cruisers. I’ve seen many wipeouts and near-misses, too. ❤️ #shorts #cruiselife #cruisetips #cruiseadvice
