Creator's Key Takeaways

I wish I knew this before I went on my first cruise a fairly seasoned Cruiser reporting to you in this video I will tell you all you ever wanted to know and sound about cruising with NCL

the best part about the port is that it is literally in the city you step out of the ship and you are there you're in the thick of it it's absolutely amazing

the food is really good I said it many times can repeat it again and again um so don't forget to exercise otherwise you'll bring a few kilos from the cruise not only the memories

I expected Barcelona to be my favorite Port I think my Yorker beat even Barcelona I loved it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive a day early and choose the earliest available check-in time to avoid crowds and get on board within an hour
βœ“You do not need to book excursions with NCL; organize tours yourself for better deals and experiences
βœ“Get a data coverage for Europe to navigate ports independently and save money
βœ“Try local food and coffee in ports; the coffee on board is not particularly good
