Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't pack the space saving umbrella. Pack the regular umbrella. Make space. It's important here.

We just finished eating at Billy's American Restaurant.

I bought an eim when we were in Hamburg. Actually, I think I paid for it when we were still at the Raleigh Dur airport and then I activated it when we got to Hamburg yesterday.

Wear uh something that dries quickly, especially if they're calling for rain here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a regular umbrella instead of a space-saving one for rain.
Wear quick-drying clothing for rainy days.
Use an eSIM for connectivity in Europe.

YouTube Video Description

Join us for Part II of our Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Poesia as we explore Gdańsk, Poland — rain and all! 🌧 We start the morning with breakfast at the ship’s buffet before disembarking in Gdynia and taking an Uber into Gdańsk. A sudden downpour doesn’t stop us from enjoying the day — we grab lunch at Billy’s American Restaurant after struggling to find great food onboard, then board an old pirate ship for a scenic cruise past Westerplatte and other historic spots. We end the day back on MSC Poesia with dinner in the main dining room. 🎒 Travel & Filming Gear I Use Want to know what gear I bring on trips or use to film our vlogs?
