YouTube Video Description↓

Usually, the last day of a cruise is about waking up and leaving the ship as soon as possible. Not this time! On our recent journey on the NCL Viva cruise ship, which took us from Istanbul to Athens, (with other stops in the Mediterranean along the way), the port of Piraeus in Athens was so swamped with cruise passengers that we were NOT allowed to leave the ship.
