Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from my first cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line and my first sailing in almost 10 years

I had a lot of learning to do and I'm excited to share some of my experiences to better help you prepare for an NCL Cruise

I think it would be impossible to be bored during a day at Sea with NCL

I can confidently say that there was plenty of activities and experiences for people of all ages on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check your luggage at the cruise terminal to avoid carrying it around
โœ“Pack one small bag with necessities and check the remainder of your bags
โœ“Always have your NCL stateroom key card on your person
โœ“Do research ahead of time to make the most out of your time in port
โœ“Visit the box office on embarkation day to book entertainment and tender times

Cabins are very small โ€” Our inside cabin had a lot of space and storage
Limited time to explore ports โ€” Do research ahead of time to see what the area has to offer
