Creator's Key Takeaways

I've had the opportunity to visit ports in Spain France and Italy

one of the perks of working on board a cruise ship is that when our schedule allows whenever we are not working or whenever we have down time or off time we get the opportunity to go out and actually visit the ports

this is just a small part of what me and my friends get up to when we're not working on board the cruise ship

I hope in some way that this can inspire you I hope you can enjoy these European voyages with me

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan for limited time on turnaround days, especially on Sundays when things may be closed
Order half portions for drinks to avoid large sizes and high costs
