Creator's Key Takeaways

My most recent NCL trip was on the Norwegian Bliss, which was a ship that was built in 2018 and is a it's a beautiful it's absolutely beautiful ship.

I have never had more authentic, more delicious Indian food than on board NCL.

When things go right on a cruise ship, that is great. But when something goes wrong and you're in international waters and you're at the mercy of the security staff...

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Never try a new ship in the first 6 months (shakedown period).
โœ“Consider buying specialty dining packages for better value.
โœ“If something goes wrong, insist on speaking to the captain.
