What an unforgettable stop in Indonesia! 🇮🇩
In Bitung, we quickly learned that cruise ships are a rare sight — they only get about three visits a year! Locals were so warm and friendly — waving, honking, asking for selfies, and even our autographs. We honestly felt like celebrities! 🤯 But this visit also opened our eyes to real-world contrasts. We noticed heavy litter in the streets and rivers, and even witnessed a young child toss his drink box straight into the ocean while his mom watched. It was a powerful reminder of how much education and awareness can impact our planet 🌎 Of course, we ended the night in true Villa Vie Odyssey fashion — finding a lively café/bar where Victor became a local superstar with his karaoke and dance moves 🎤💃 while we enjoyed delicious local cuisine and the best hospitality imaginable. 💙 This stop was equal parts humbling, heartwarming, and eye-opening — a true travel experience we’ll never forget. ⸻ 🚢 Cruise Life Gear We Actually Use Check out our favorite cruise essentials here: 👉 https://livinglifeonacruise.com/cruise-life-gear-we-actually-use/ (Some links may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
