Creator's Key Takeaways

We got into Great Surf Coco K, I mean Great Surf, and we got Coco K right next door.

It does not look ready for next cruise.

Travel insurance is important. missing ports are, you know, a thing that's going to happen when you're relying on something you have no control over.

I'm saying it was different. And we will definitely discuss that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance for missing ports.
Be prepared for itinerary changes and have a flexible mindset.
Find joy in the sea day if a port is missed.
