Jill in a bathrobe at 5:30 AM on the bow of the Oosterdam - and it was absolutely WORTH IT! Sailing into Kotor, Montenegro at dawn with the dramatic cliffs rising straight up from the water is one of the most breathtaking arrivals we've ever experienced on any cruise. This tiny medieval walled city tucked between impossibly steep mountains was actually cancelled on us once before on a Princess cruise, so finally making it here felt extra special. We explore the old city with a fantastic local guru walk guide, discover the walls are FREE (take that Dubrovnik!), find the narrowest passage the Oosterdam has to navigate leaving port, and end the evening with a Pinnacle Grill dinner and Holland America's brand new disco production show - which genuinely impressed us both. 0:00 - 5:30 AM Bathrobe Sail-In: Worth It or Ridiculous? 2:00 - First Steps in Montenegro: Country #2 Checked Off! 4:00 - Kotor Old Town: Mountains + Medieval Magic 7:00 - Guru Walk with Fredja: Cats, Catholics + Ottoman History 11:30 - Free City Walls: The Dubrovnik Alternative! 14:00 - Back Onboard: Cannonball Burger + Hot Tub Bliss 17:00 - Dramatic Sail-Out Through the Narrows 19:00 - Pinnacle Grill: Ribeye, Tableside Caesar + Soufflé Chaos! 24:00 - HAL's NEW Disco Show: Honest Verdict 29:00 - Montenegro Wrap-Up + Corfu Greece Tomorrow!
