Creator's Key Takeaways

we docked next to a very special lady in Mal so as the sun rose we headed to Rich's Rooftop at the very four of the ship to see what the fuss was about and we were absolutely glad we did

that was honestly such a special moment that we will never forget

we were thrilled to discover we were surrounded by a pot of pilot whales who had come to check out our little yellow boat bobbing around in the water

overall loved it would recommend would do again

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking seasickness tablets for the whale watching excursion
βœ“The whale watching excursion is not wheelchair accessible; test mobility on similar ship benches if needed
βœ“The Test Kitchen menu is included in the cruise fare and worth trying, even if it's not for everyone

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness during whale watching β€” Take seasickness tablets beforehand; the excursion is bumpy but manageable
Mobility issues on the whale watching boat β€” The seats are saddle-like and require swinging a leg over; test on ship benches if unsure
