Creator's Key Takeaways

It is definitely the best production show that I have seen coming out of Holland America since we've ever cruised with them.

I just finished my Dive-In burger and I can confirm guys burger is still a million miles out of the water.

The weather is not cooperating so far this morning as we feared and there is a little bit of rain and spitting.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring waterproof sandwich bags to protect phones and microphones during rainy excursions.
Use the ship's provided umbrellas for walking in port during rain.

YouTube Video Description

First time in Croatia and it's absolutely POURING! Watch as our planned walking tour gets washed out before we brave the rain anyway to explore Split's incredible 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace - the retirement home of a Roman emperor whose remains were literally thrown out by the Christians who took over after he persecuted them! From Froggy Land's 507 stuffed frogs to rubbing a giant statue's toe for good luck, Split delivers even in a sideways rainstorm. Back onboard, Jill finally gets her bubble bath moment, the Cannonball burger gets its annual verdict (Guys Burger still wins, but you need a Carnival ship for that!), and Holland America debuts a brand new show we actually LIKED - their best production in years! 0:00 - First Time in Croatia: Rainy Split Morning 1:15 - Breakfast WIN: Swedish Pancakes Finally Appear! 3:00 - Split From the Ship: Storm Clouds + Palace Views 4:30 - Cannonball Burger Lunch + Stormy Pool Deck 6:30 - First Steps on Croatian Soil! 8:30 - Diocletian's Palace: 1,700 Year Old Emperor's Retreat 12:00 - Froggy Land + Lucky Toe Statue! 13:30 - Sideways Rain: Time to Head Back! 14:30 - Jill's Bubble Bath Moment (Earned It!) 16:00 - Dinner: Big Pink Bow + Two Entrée Experiment 19:00 - Holland America's BRAND NEW Show: Honest Review 22:00 - Croatia Wrap-Up Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
