WE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE ON THIS TRIP
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides travel advice and warnings for passengers planning Mediterranean cruises, specifically focusing on shore excursions and transportation. She advises against booking long excursions because many tour buses lack air conditioning, which can lead to extreme discomfort in high temperatures. She suggests carrying plenty of water and using cooling ice packs to manage the heat. The creator also compares cruise line excursions with independent transportation options like hop-on hop-off buses. While cruise line excursions offer a guarantee that the ship will wait for passengers, independent buses do not. She shares a personal negative experience in Malta where a hop-on hop-off bus was significantly delayed, lacked shade, and dropped passengers in an unmapped area. After failing to find available taxis, she successfully used Uber to reach her destination. She concludes by recommending Uber in Malta and advising travelers to check for enclosed windows on buses to ensure air conditioning is present.
