Creator's Key Takeaways

today has been quite interesting for my first experience on NCL after over 30 solo cruises it's my first solo cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line

I felt nickel and Di before even stepping onto the ship since this was my first time cruising NL I for a basic package that I could get

I love love love my state room this solo Ocean View cabin I absolutely love it and I would recommend it

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring a bottle of wine only if you have the free at sea promotion to avoid a $115 corking fee
โœ“Use the luggage drop off option for carry-ons since cabins may not be ready upon embarkation
โœ“For gluten-free options, flag down a manager to place an order and note you cannot order for the same day
โœ“The NCL app may have inconsistent information; rely on the paper schedule for show times
