Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm coming to you from my cabin on board MSC marilia I'm on here for 10 nights as part of a cruise to Canada in New England

this cruise is very quickly to be honest descending into a degree of chaos that I feel really uncomfortable with

I'm a huge believer in the fact that I can frown all day but at the end of the day it's not going to help anyone

first impressions of Portland Maine really really positive I to be honest Ador this little place

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have mobility issues, note that some gangways are angled and steep, but there are flat ones available.
Plan for potential long lines during immigration checks on ships with many passengers.
