Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent about 10 months of a year out on cruise ships as a passenger, ship hopping back-to-back, seeing so many different parts of the world in the process.

I would massively recommend to anyone that hasn't seen one or both of those absolute feats of engineering try and add it to your bucket list.

I would say I would do minimum 7 nights. I also really benefited from the longer time on Rotterdam.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack cleverly with layers for varying weather conditions.
βœ“Use status matching for cruise loyalty programs to get perks.
βœ“For solo cruisers, leave a jacket or book on a buffet table to hold your seat.
βœ“Consider longer cruises (7+ nights) to fully relax and avoid stress.

feeling awkward dining solo β€” It depends on your mood, but many solo cruisers enjoy meeting people at group tables.
