Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been working on cruise ships, uh, since on the cruise industry since 2005.

My mission is to help people connect more with the places that they go.

If I want to go somewhere that's at least an hour's drive from the ship I will always go with a ship tour.

Tracy's King Crabshack in Juneau is my favorite place to eat in the entire world.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Lisbon Card for free transport and museum entry in Lisbon.
For ports far from the ship, book a ship tour for safety and convenience.
Check the US State Department or UK Foreign Office for travel advisories before excursions.
