Creator's Key Takeaways

I am one week in to my final contract working on board a cruise ship.

In Europe, everybody gets off the ship. But this is the perfect time for me to actually start vlogging around the ship and creating content for the vlog.

The European and Mediterranean vibes in the summer that you do not ever get when you're in the Caribbean.

I have to pay to walk on this hiking trail when 2 years ago it was free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early at Cinque Terre to avoid crowds and enjoy the experience.
Book tours in the bus terminal at La Spezia if you don't want to book through Royal Caribbean, but wake up early.
Take the complimentary shuttle into town at European ports when available.

Crowds at popular destinationsArrive early, ideally by 9 a.m., to avoid peak crowds.
Paying for hiking trailsIf it's your first and only visit, it's probably worth paying for the trail to get the view.

CHRIS WONG | cruise club: ► https://www.patreon.com/ChrisWongVLOGS As I prepare for my final contract as a crew member, and begin my journey to full time cruise content creator, welcome to my membership club! This will play a crucial part in my quest to becoming Pinnacle status in the C&A Society. For a while, I have been wondering what my next move would be after I finish working on cruise ships, and this is it! I will transition from crew member to paying passenger, and document my journey as I sail through the greatest loyalty programme at sea. My career with Royal Caribbean has completely changed my life, and I am so thankful for everything this job has given me. The opportunity to travel the world, make friendships that span the globe, and the responsibilities given to me as a Casino Host onboard helped elevate my work ethic. But most importantly, I was able to build this online cruise community! I am extremely proud of what I have created, and look forward to growing my brand by continuing to provide the best cruise ship content in the world! #cruiseship
