Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on a 12-day European cruise on the Norwegian Pearl. We left Southampton after spending three days in London and we stopped at a whole bunch of wonderful ports with only one C day and we ended up in Rome.

I would say that the biggest hurdle for me wanting to book Norwegian again would be the fact that doing what we do with all the social media stuff and trying to vlog it and show it to you. We had some really big challenges being able to even just get a little bit of content out on Instagram.

The ship is fairly old, but the cabins have been redone. So, that was our probably our most pleasant surprise was how nice the cabins were.

Norwegian I felt overall they did they offered a really good product and we had a fabulous time with them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not go to bed or take a nap on your first day in Europe to reset your clock.
Research transportation options in European ports (Uber, train, taxi, shuttle) and be flexible to change plans based on lines.
Use an eSIM card for internet in European ports, as ship Wi-Fi is limited and slow.
Consider booking a less expensive cruise line and cabin for port-intensive itineraries to save money for shore excursions and dining.
