Creator's Key Takeaways

Man, that's what I love about cruising. You learn so much about the places you go to.

This is a kitty haven. Apparently, this is a kitty cat cafe.

Man, this is beautiful at night. And actually, what's kind of cool is that um doing this, it's super rare cuz not too many ships get to leave the harbor this late at night in Malta.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check on Viator for excursions as there are many things to book.
✓If you want a smoothie at the buffet, ask staff to blend fruits and veggies for you.
✓Don't plan on walking up to Valletta from the port if you are not in good shape; it is a hike.
✓If it rains during a walking tour, the guide may skip the break to finish earlier.
✓Don't vlog and walk at the same time, especially in unfamiliar traffic patterns.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Driving on the opposite side of the road — Be aware that cars are right-hand drive and drive on the left, unlike the US, Italy, and Greece.
Getting around the port — Excursion buses are right outside the ship, a short 5-minute walk.
Weather and rain — Bring a rain jacket or umbrella as rain can be sudden; the tour guide may adjust the schedule.
