Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm so excited to leave the ship today now I'm not too sure what we're going to do today other than one thing that is on my agenda and that is that palmo is the birthplace of canoli

this city looks as though it's going to be a beauty to get off and explore today

can canoli was excellent

I think palmo is a port the way I would summarize it really really quickly is that from a city point of view it's just a million miles an hour

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the a bord (daily schedule) on board for activities and requirements
Bring your Costa card and an ID document or passport copy when going ashore
Look at the highlights section of the a bordo document before planning your evening

YouTube Video Description

Welcome back to my channel, and welcome to my latest vlog series! In this series, we’re exploring one of the biggest and newest ships from Costa Cruises: Costa Smeralda. In my last episode, I showed you what Ibiza looked like to visit by cruise ship. Today, it's time for another brand new port (for me, anyway) - Palermo, Sicily! We'll take some time to explore the city, head for some world-famous Cannoli, and then head to the beach. However, I can tell you now that it's not all going to go to plan, so make sure you 'stay tuned' to see how it all goes. In this series, Smeralda will be visiting various ports in Spain, France and Italy - let's go and explore some more of Europe together! If you’d like to see more from my other Costa Cruises, head over to my channel and check out my Costa Cruises playlist, or click here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYSpX5pUbJR98KaadOBHjF0xuL0xNILX - in here, you'll find content from my time onboard Costa Toscana and Costa Diadema - two very different ships from Costa!
