Creator's Key Takeaways
We are currently, as we mentioned, in Ward Cove in Ketchacan. So this is Norwegian's privately developed cruise port.
The crew has really been exceptional, I will say, on the Norwegian Joy.
It's been a very quiet cruise in terms of announcements, which has been so announcements, but also wildlife, which is kind of a bummer.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Use wristbands or patches for seasickness.
✓Book specialty dining in advance if you want Food Republic.
✓Consider flying to Rome early for a transatlantic cruise.
