Creator's Key Takeaways
I recently sailed throughout the British Isles, Norway, and the Mediterranean. Uh, three different cruise lines and learned a lot of valuable lessons about cruising Europe in the process.
My first lesson was a big one and might not be popular. It's that cruising isn't a great way to visit many European cities.
The time of year you visit can make a big difference on your experience, especially in the Mediterranean.
I was surprised by air travel in Europe as well, which you keep hearing in North America as being more passenger friendly and more generous with compensation when things go wrong. This is another example of a contradiction.
