Creator's Key Takeaways

It's one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe. It was built by the Knights of St. John in the 14th century and it has cool cobblestone streets.

It was a great port to not pay for an excursion, to not have anything planned. It's been a relaxing day since then.

We are very experienced cruisers and have cruised with Norwegian the most, but also with Carnival and Royal Caribbean, and now Celebrity.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓The cruise port in Rhodes is very walkable, so you don't need to pay for a taxi or shuttle to get to the Old Town.

✓If visiting the Palace of the Grand Master, be aware it is moderately steep and has limited shade; plan for heat or mobility issues.

✓For the Bazaar show on Celebrity Xcel, go early to secure good seating.

✓Consider booking museum entry in advance during busy cruise seasons, though no wait was experienced in this instance.
