Creator's Key Takeaways

We thought having too many sea days might be a bit of a chore, but they they actually went really really well.

It was nice and relaxing and a good mix of sea days and port days.

We had a fantastic time on the NCL Sky. Uh the crew were absolutely magnificent as they always are.

It's just been an absolutely fabulous time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take the shuttle into town as there are tours and tuk tuks available right at the pier
✓If you want to visit Santa Barbara Castle, use Uber (around €8) or find the elevator from town rather than walking up the hill
✓Book Uber early from the port as there can be a 20-minute wait
✓Bring an extra SD card for your camera
✓Visit the Ocean Race Museum at the port entrance

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not enough time to explore on port days — Tuk tuk tours move quickly but let you see a lot in a short time; you can ask driver to drop you off in town instead of returning to ship
Getting up to the castle — Use Uber (€8) or find the elevator from town rather than walking up the steep hill
Disembarkation process — Process is efficient with fast security and baggage pickup; coffee and pastries are available during security check
