Creator's Key Takeaways

I am here in Roderdam in the middle of a Ryan River cruise from Dusseldorf to Amsterdam and back.

I actually did this on purpose, and I'll tell you why.

A river cruise experience is much more focused on the destinations.

We decided, nah, we're not getting back on the ship at noon, Viva. We're going to stay in Rotterdam as long as we dang well please.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Inform the cruise director and front desk if you plan to miss the ship's departure.
โœ“Ask where the ship will be at the second port to avoid confusion.
โœ“Use your own transportation to get to the next port if you miss the ship.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

River cruises are much different than ocean cruises, in fact, other than them both being called "cruises", altogether there are not many similarities at all! While cruising on the Rhine River from Dรผsseldorf to Amsterdam and back, we got left behind by the ship in Rotterdam, but it was actually part of our plan, and you may want to do the same thing! #cruise #rivercruise #cruiseship Get my NEW BOOK, "Places, Please!" on Amazon: Link for USA: https://amzn.to/49v7OCd Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qb5AAbSI9kcjptctjWs1g/join "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09MV7KR5K Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: https://www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Amazon links to my gear, and other fun stuff I wish I had! https://www.amazon.com/shop/veryunofficialtravelguides Follow on: www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides Instagram @MrMorganOBrien Twitter: @MrMorganOBrien Affiliate Links: I receive a small percentage from purchases made from affiliate links that may be contained in this description.
