The Only American on a Cruise??? August, 2020 - Setting Sail with MeinSchiff in Germany

Editorial Summary

The creator documents a spontaneous embarkation on a Mein Schiff cruise departing from Hamburg, Germany. This specific voyage is described as a cruise to nowhere, traveling to Sweden and back without any port stops. The creator notes that the ship is a German brand where most amenities are included in the fare. Upon boarding, the creator explores the modern cabin, observes the staggered muster drill process necessitated by current circumstances, and tours the various decks. Highlights of the ship tour include a large pool deck, a swanky area reserved for suite guests, and the buffet restaurant where service is provided by staff rather than self-service. The creator observes that the atmosphere is significantly quieter than American cruise lines, noting a lack of loud music on the sail away day. After settling into the cabin and reviewing the German language daily planner, the creator concludes the video by reflecting on the unique experience of being one of the few travelers currently able to cruise.
