Creator's Key Takeaways

I also realized the shoes I bought on board started to break and cause pain on my right foot.

I met a couple sweet people who talked about their past cruise experiences, even met fellow Canadians.

The one major complaint I have, and this goes for all of Europe so far, is how many illegal sellers are there hounding you to buy their crap.

This has been a childhood dream of mine when I was a little kid. I wrote papers of the tower pizza in grade school.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the $12 shuttle or $25 taxi from the port in Ravenna.
βœ“Book excursions early when walking around the boardwalk in Zadar.
βœ“Get to the city walls in Dubrovnik at sunrise to avoid crowds.
βœ“Try the pizza in Naples, even if there's an hour wait.
βœ“Be prepared for illegal sellers in European ports.

Wheelchair duty assistance β€” Help assist passengers that may need a hand; it's a long walk from the terminal to the ship.
Navigating ports without a wallet β€” Always carry your wallet to access restaurants and shops.
