YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Welcome to the finale of my feature-length docu-vlog series as I sail Princess Cruises Caribbean Princess north from Southampton U.K. to the Arctic Circle and Norway in search of the Northern Lights! In this episode I take you all with me on this journey covering days 10-15; a sea day as we head from Tromso to the Lofoten Islands, Norway, including my first time eating at Planks BBQ on Princess Cruises, one of the worst days Iโ€™ve ever had in port plus service so upsetting I wanted to disembark, followed by an uplifting visit to Alesund before 2 sea days back home to the U.K. I also review all meals on board at the main dining room as well as casual eateries. Iโ€™ll talk you through the disembarkation process and take you home with me as Iโ€™m reunited with my fur babies before reflections about this 2 week cruise! This one is another rollercoaster ride! You can expect the low down on EVERYTHING! This is cruising my way and everything filmed is in sequence and takes you with me on what I hope will be the cruise of a lifetime in search of the Northern Lights. Are you ready? Let's do this!
