Creator's Key Takeaways

Kadis probably the most underrated city I've ever been to.

The price alone is a benefit but then there are more benefits on top of that because of all of the amenities that you are getting on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a variety of clothes, including colder weather items and extra pants/socks for kids.
Be aware that port time is limited on transatlantic cruises.
Consider room selection carefully for a 14-day sailing.
Take advantage of port days to try different foods.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Packing enough clothes for kidsBring extra pants, socks, and long sleeve shirts; ship stores don't carry everything.
Age restrictions for babiesChildren must be at least one year old to sail on a transatlantic cruise.
Limited port timeUnderstand that the cruise focuses on repositioning, so port visits are short.
