Creator's Key Takeaways

I just returned from the most amazing European cruise and I'm here today to tell you everything that I loved and hated about my European cruise with Royal Caribbean

this was a bucket list itinerary for our family we've always wanted to see the holy land for probably the last decade

we were shuffled from one site to the next to ensure that we could fit everything in during our days in Israel we probably had no more than 30 minutes at each spot to take everything in

booking excursions in Israel and Santorini was the best decision that we made for this itinerary

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book excursions through the cruise line for priority immigration in Israel
โœ“Consider a cruise for port-intensive European itineraries to avoid logistical travel between countries
โœ“Plan for long travel days to and from Europe for a cruise

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not enough time to fully experience cities and sites โ€” Accept that a cruise gives a sampling platter; plan to return to favorite places on a land trip
Long travel time to Europe โ€” The travel is worth it for the convenience of cruising once there
