Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in Barcelona, Spain. The very first time for us.

The tea time was lovely. It was a little strange though cuz it was all guests from Bolandam having tea together.

It was such a well planned event just to have the ships side by side and be able to come and go to the two different ships as you please.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Try to have local currency when traveling, as bank cards are widely accepted but some vendors may prefer cash.

✓Consider getting a new passport before a long cruise to accommodate many stamps.

✓If you're not comfortable with small boats, take anti-nausea medication for tender rides.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Surrendering passports to the ship for an extended period — It's a common thing on a lot of cruises; the purser's desk has them and they're secure.

Using lifeboats as tender boats — Listen to the instructions; it's similar to going on a tender and fine for most people.
