Creator's Key Takeaways

i was lucky enough to be one of the few people in the entire world to have been on a cruise in the last month on friday august 21st i uh sailed away from the port of hamburg my home city here in germany for a week-long cruise to nowhere but also to stockholm and turku on the tui mine shift two

the buffet is open and it's run very similar to the way a buffet would normally be run but with extremely heightened cleanliness measures sanitary measures

on the mind shift that i was just on not only is the pool area gigantic which is already awesome but at the moment they are only booking this ship to a maximum of 60 capacity

the muster drill was so much better the way they did it on the ship i was just on normally in a muster drill it's the first day of the cruise everybody's gotten on board it's you know there's music playing there's people splashing in the pool cocktails are being served people are having fun and right in the middle of it everything stops and you have to go to the muster drill it's a major buzz kill

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

The cruise industry has suffered a massive blow due to the shutdowns in 2020. Royal Caribbean, Carnival, NCL, Disney, Celebrity, and basically every other major cruise line has suspended operations, but a few lines in Europe began cruising again in August. The MSC Grandiosa is taking passengers around Italy, and the Tui MeinSchiff 1 and MeinSchiff 2 are sailing around Northern Europe to Stockholm and Turku. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to cruise with MeinSchiff and realised that a lot of the "temporary" measures in place are actually BETTER than the way it usually is. Here are 5 of them. #cruise #2020 #europe More from this cruise: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZU7lBfJXxcSVbAXWzVPcI4LdfUXUUnxq Get your "Washy Washy" T-Shirts and "BRB" Towels here: www.teespring.com/stores/very-unofficial-travel-guides Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Like the music?
