Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on five European cruises four of them were transatlantic from my first European cruise and I really underestimated the amount of walking and I was pretty exhausted most time

cobblestone streets are unforgiving on your feet and you don't want to end up with blisters and sore feet and be miserable

I have seen people come in from red eyes they are just completely exhausted they get on this ship at three o'clock they go straight to bed and they they don't even enjoy the the sale away or any of the food or anything

I much prefer rather sitting in a lounge chair or the solarium or somewhere just enjoying my time quiet peaceful way of the day that's always really desirable

Get into a walking routine before your trip
Invest in sturdy, broken-in walking shoes
Avoid overpacking and use mix-and-match clothing
Respect local customs and learn a few words
