Cruisers are easy targets for many cruise port scams, pickpockets & other tourist scams. Unfortunately, we witnessed (and experienced) these tourist scams & rif offs on our recent Mediterranean cruise! Travelers to Europe & other cruise destinations need to be careful & take precautions to not get caught by a scammer. In this video I share 5 different scams that we saw on our European cruise in Rome and Barcelena. I also share cruise tips & recommendations that can be helpful if you're going on a Mediterranean cruise. We cruised on Enchanted Princess (Princess Cruises). However, these cruise scams & tourist watch-outs can happen when going on a cruise with any other cruise line. This cruise travel advice applies to Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Norwegian Cruise Line & more.
