Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm doing something I haven't done in a very long time and that is I'm going to take a ship sponsored Excursion

for 55 Euros this was totally okay the only thing that I wish I could change about it were that just have it be a little bit cooler in the bus

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a ship-sponsored excursion for convenience if you want to avoid taxi costs and umbrella rentals
Arrive early at the beach to secure a spot, especially in crowded areas
Bring water shoes for rocky areas, though they may not be needed at Mondello Beach

YouTube Video Description

While cruising with the Costa Smeralda, (one of the world's largest cruise ships), we stopped in the port of Palermo on Sicily. There, I did something I haven't done in quite a while: a ship sponsored excursion! We met early in the morning to take a chartered bus to the other side of the island and visit the fantastic Mondello Beach. It was very pretty, but also extremely crowded! #cruise #cruiseship #sicily Get my NEW BOOK!
