Creator's Key Takeaways
experiences on my last two Cruisers reminded me that just because my cruise ship is calling into a port does not mean that I can assume it's safe for me to get off and explore
even in the two most popular cruising regions the Caribbean and the Mediterranean many of the most visited ports are amongst the riskiest anywhere in the world
I had seen lots of online advice about avoiding self-exploration outside the secure Port area and some who did on my trip came back and told me that they had felt really unsafe
I do recommend booking a cruise line Excursion or book one through a very trusted provider and avoid self-exploring

Experiences on my two last cruises reminded me that just because my cruise ship is calling into a port does not mean that I can assume it's safe for me to get off and explore. In fact, even in the two most popular cruising regions, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, many of the most visited ports are amongst the riskiest. Welcome aboard, I'm Gary Bembridge and I’m going to tell you what dangerous ports in these two regions to avoid, and how to keep yourself safe if you've got a cruise booked that's going to one of them.
