Creator's Key Takeaways
When we first started cruising, I never really know much about it cuz I wasn't a cruiser at the beginning and didn't have family that ever cruise.
We've literally got off and wandered around the port as you've seen us do many times around the world.
The pros of doing that way is total flexibility to build your own excursion.
