Creator's Key Takeaways

We are about to go down for breakfast. We woke up a little bit late. This idiot set her alarm for P.M rather than A.M.

Just be warned and prepared if you are going on any cruise ship wherever you are and you're going to do an excursion or go somewhere else, a different city, different town off your own back and it's not booked with Pino Cruises or any other cruise lines and you have any difficulties, the ship will not wait for you.

I love Wayne. He's one of the nicest people but his singing voice is absolutely atrocious.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions through the cruise line to ensure the ship will wait for you if you have difficulties returning.
✓Use hotel bathrooms for free restroom breaks when in port cities.
✓Plan ahead and budget for activities in Amsterdam to avoid missing out due to cost.
