Creator's Key Takeaways
It was probably top three, four cruises that I've ever been on.
I think everybody should go, you know, at least once just to see the history.
Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for being energy, health, anything, right?
Plan those days out even if it's the hop on hop off bus.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Sleep that first day and then sleep even on the plane if you can to adjust to the new time zone.
✓Plan out your port days in advance, even if it's just using a hop-on hop-off bus.
✓Bring plenty of water, snacks, and a hat for walking in hot weather.
✓Start doing walks a month before your trip to get used to the walking, especially uphill.
✓Be considerate on flights: close your blinds and dim your TV to help others sleep.

Jet lag from international travel — Sleep on the plane and try to adjust to the local time zone immediately upon arrival.
Overexertion from walking in hot weather — Plan excursions, bring water and snacks, wear a hat, and consider starting walks a month before the trip.
Not planning enough for port days — Plan out your days in advance, even if it's just a rough itinerary, to avoid missing out or feeling overwhelmed.
