Creator's Key Takeaways
It's my first time vlogging and my first cruise in 30 years.
We decided to cancel our restaurant reservations and stay and grab a bite and a drink on Viking.
Sail away began a little after 900 p.m. in the dark, and we were so happy to finally be on our way.
I stepped out on the balcony to the beauty that was the inside passage and I sat there for hours.
