Don’t Make This Cruise Mistake… Stay in Sydney! 🇦🇺
After a 12-night New Zealand cruise on Celebrity Edge, we made one simple decision that completely changed our trip… 👉 We didn’t go home. Instead, we stayed in Sydney for 3 extra days—and it turned out to be one of the BEST travel decisions we’ve ever made. In this video, we take you through our Sydney post-cruise stay, including: ✔️ Staying at the Four Seasons Sydney in The Rocks ✔️ Watching our cruise ship sail away without us ✔️ Incredible food in Barangaroo (Bottega Coco + amazing gelato) ✔️ Exploring Circular Quay & the Sydney Opera House ✔️ Ferry ride to Manly Beach with friends from the cruise ✔️ A perfect steak dinner at 6HEAD Sydney ✔️ Experiencing Sydney as the city prepared for Christmas If you’re planning a cruise, don’t rush home—take a few extra days and explore your port city. You won’t regret it. 📍 Travel Tips From This Trip Stay near The Rocks or Circular Quay for walkability Take the ferry to Manly Beach (must-do!)
