Creator's Key Takeaways

We did go and guess what? It was hot and the crowds were unbelievable. I wasn't prepared for it because um the previous two times I had gone to Europe cruising...

One of the I guess chief complaints that people may have about cruising is that they don't have enough time in port or they want to experience some cities in the evening.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider cruising in the shoulder or off-season to avoid extreme heat and massive crowds.
Look for cruises with overnight ports to experience local nightlife and cuisine.
Explore regions beyond the Mediterranean, such as Northern Europe or the British Isles.
