YouTube Video Description

It's Day 3 on my solo Valiant Lady Southeastern Caribbean cruise and I woke up with every intention of getting off the ship and exploring around the port of Pointe-À-Pitre, Guadeloupe! All of the excursions offered through Virgin were sold out, so I had limited options for this port. As it turned out, I never got off the ship at all... watch this video to find out why! #virginvoyages #valiantlady #solocruise #cruiselife #cruiseaddict #cruising #caribbeancruise #guadeloupe #cruiseport ---------------------------- Also follow me on: ⭐️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mer.cruises.solo?igsh=bDQ4Yzh6NnIwdjR5&utm_source=qr ⭐️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557939269892&mibextid=LQQJ4d ⭐️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mer.cruises.solo?_t=8iyjrVMz7ug&_r=1 ⭐️ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mer.cruises.solo 📧 Email: mer.cruises.solo@gmail.com ---------------------------- 🎬 Filmed with: 📸 Sony ZV-1F Camera 📹 DJI Osmo Action 4 📱 iPhone 14 Pro Max 🎶 Music: Epidemic Sound
