Creator's Key Takeaways

we are embarking pianos Iona on a Norwegian fjords cruise for one week you are coming with us and we are going to have the best time

I know I'm not picking on him I'm just telling the truth

I highly recommend you do it independently and save yourselves 50 pounds per person

this is exceeding my expectations by about a billion percent

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book short excursions in advance to get exactly what you want
βœ“Bring your own relaxing sleep spray (not included in the cabin)
βœ“Use the virtual queue system on the 'My Holiday' app for main dining rooms
βœ“Do the Lowen Skylift excursion early or late to avoid crowds

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Surviving a week in an inside cabin β€” Use an alarm because it is pitch black; it is manageable
Dress codes β€” There is one formal night (Celebration Night) per week; free glass of fizz is provided
Navigating the ship β€” Use the 'My Holiday' app for virtual queues and bookings
Getting a seat at busy venues β€” Use the virtual queue system or try less popular times
