Creator's Key Takeaways

I would recommend folks not fly in the same day of the cruise, especially if it's from an international departure port.

Holland does skew a lot older, especially for European itineraries, but I always love it and I have a great time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid flying in the same day of the cruise, especially from an international departure port.
Be prepared for customs lines in Barcelona and lack of traditional Uber; consider taking a taxi.

YouTube Video Description

We just embarked on our second European cruise, aboard Holland America Line’s Oosterdam, calling upon Malta, Tunisia, France, and Italy, and thankfully we made it (with time to spare), despite flying in “same day.” #shorts #cruise #cruiselife #cruisetips #cruiseadvice #cruisetravel #cruisetube
