Editorial Summary

A cruise ship crew member shares their personal rankings of various port destinations after living onboard for 536 days. The creator begins by placing Nassau at the bottom of the list, noting that while the local sushi is good, the port itself feels underwhelming and somewhat intimidating. CocoCay is ranked in second place, with the creator highlighting the convenience of the small island and the benefit of free food available to crew members. The top ranking is given to Fort Lauderdale. Although it serves as a home port, the creator explains that living on a ship creates a desire for normal land activities.

Creator's Key Takeaways

after living on a cruise ship for 536 days here are my port rankings

last on the list is nasau if you end up here sushi around the corner is lovely but the port is a whole pretty underwhelming kind of scary

in second place we have Coco K and I'm going to give her extra points for the free food as a crew member coming here it's definitely most convenient since the island is small

first place might surprise you cuz it's a Home Port but when you live on a ship sometimes you just crave normal sea I.E biking cafes grocery shopping so personally I felt the happiest in Fort Lauderdale
