Hi everyone, I will be going on my (23f) first cruise in about 10 days. I am from the US but will be doing a 7 day cruise from Athens Greece to Volos to Istanbul to Izmir to Mykonos and to Santorini with Costa Cruises. I will be traveling with a few people who have traveled internationally before but I am still quite nervous about not knowing how to travel internationally. I have a credit card set up for no fees, the wifi bought for the cruise and phone service set up for international travel. We don’t have much booked for our trip yet and I am a little worried about that and having things be very crowded or be scrambling once we get there which i want to avoid. Does anyone have good recommendations for how to prepare best for things to go smoothly such as transportation tips, currency knowledge, things to avoid or beware of, must sees, essential items to pack, best gifts to bring back home or anything else you’d suggest for a cruise along with stops in those locations? Anything helps!!
