Creator's Key Takeaways

Not only was their first cruise Virgin, their first cruise was Blackband. So they are broken.

That was probably one of the best sales into a port that we've ever had.

I think it's probably it edges on scary territory if people are then off getting cancelled from cruises because of it.

She blew everyone away. Her octopus goddess on Scarlet Night was phenomenal.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't plan to wait at the Athens port terminal as there are limited facilities.
Don't drink before climbing the Acropolis in extreme heat.
If sailing out of Athens, arrive early or use the shuttle into town.
