Creator's Key Takeaways

I could not resist getting out of bed and going to capture that but then the sun came out and it was amazing but it also was shining directly into my cabin so I just could not sleep

I think I might just skip this excursion that I booked which I do not really want to do because it was pretty expensive but if we're not going to get to visit the places that were advertised it's not worth the money anyway

I've been pleasantly surprised with how well the passenger flow has been on the Prima for this Cruise so far and the events and things that have not been overly crowded

I love the Tepanyaki venues on all of norwegian's other ships it's one of my favorite meals on out of all of their restaurants it's always tasty

Creator's Tips & Advice

Skip expensive excursions if they are cancelled or altered and not worth the money
Bring water on steep hikes to stay hydrated
Use the spa when others are off the ship for less crowding

YouTube Video Description

Today is day 6 of this 10-day solo Iceland and Norway cruise on the beautiful Norwegian Prima, and I decided to skip the Trollstigen shore excursion I originally booked through Viator (link below if you're interested in checking that out!) to instead hike up to the Byrampen Viewpoint (Aksla Mountain) and walk around the picturesque town of Alesund, often voted the most beautiful town in Norway! I had an absolutely lovely time hiking up to the viewpoint with AMAZING panoramic city views of Alesund. I then explored the town by foot, taking in all of the impressive architecture - facades all built in the style of art nouveau after the city burned down in 1904. I spent some time people-watching at a brew pub right by the port and enjoyed a local beer & a snack before heading back to the ship to relax and enjoy the scenery for the afternoon, followed by a delicious dinner at Hasuki restaurant and an incredible late-night sunset after the infamous NCL Glow Party in the Prima theater!
