Creator's Key Takeaways

I am currently on a transatlantic Crossing going from New York City to Rotterdam in the Netherlands

I reached out to UK content creator Emma cruises with a few questions about what I should expect when I travel to the United Kingdom

we're set up for walking absolutely everywhere so if you want to walk to anything I've never found anywhere I can't walk to

most of us use contactless on our cards for most things we still accept cash but cash really isn't a thing

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use contactless payment for public transport in the UK
โœ“Walk to attractions instead of relying on cruise line excursions
โœ“Plan transportation in London to avoid wasting time
โœ“Refer to the country as the UK to avoid confusion
