Creator's Key Takeaways

it's been an awesome trip so far I guess if people were wondering if we would be able to do a world Cruise that's double the length of this I'd say yes

doing a do-it-yourself World Cruise in segments has some benefits to it yes you get different ships and with the different ships you have different room Styles

each Cruise Line has a very distinct signature style for better no better way to explain it and when you're on as an example Norwegian they have a very distinct way of doing things

we loved it yeah hard to believe we're coming to the end

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Doing a DIY world cruise in segments allows for more variety in ships, food, and entertainment.
βœ“If you want to explore land destinations longer, booking segments allows for gaps between cruises to travel by train or car.
βœ“Choose a cabin in the center of the ship (low and in the center) for the best ride quality.
