Creator's Key Takeaways

I picked this cruise almost entirely for the destination because it's visiting Spalbard and Iceland, two places that I've never been before.

This is one of the best cruise ship beds that I've ever stayed in. I can't explain it, but it was just very comfortable.

I just want to make it very clear here. This is not a normal cruise ship thing to happen. It has never happened to me before.

My ideal cabin, I think, would be a mix of my original cabin and this one. If I could have bought the space and the bathroom from this suite and stuck it onto the balcony cabin of my original room in the original room's location, that would have been perfect.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Choose a cabin location in the middle of the ship to minimize movement
โœ“Consider booking a suite if traveling as a family, as it may be cheaper than two separate cabins
โœ“Print luggage tags at home to speed up embarkation
โœ“Use magnetic iPad cases to attach devices to cabin walls

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

ad - Normally, when cruise lines advertise their cruises, they show you the best cabins on the newest and most exciting ships. Iโ€™ve stayed in all kinds of rooms from inside cabins without any windows to suites with lounges but almost always on the newer ships. On this cruise though, Iโ€™ve been sailing on a ship designed in the late 1990s and built in the year 2000. Iโ€™ve actually had two cabins during this cruise because I was moved mid-way through, it's been an interesting experience, with positives and negatives I couldnโ€™t have ever predicted. ** Pssst, you'll see 'ad' or 'paid promotion' on all content created on this trip as it was a press trip. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and Norwegian have made no changes to this video. That means that I get to show you things I normally off limits and you get bonus content.

I hoped that picking a cruise for the destination instead of the ship wouldnโ€™t be a mistake and that my cabin would at least be a comfortable base. I wasnโ€™t expecting a lot from a cruise ship that is pretty old by cruise ship standards but it did surprise me in lots of ways. I also had a couple of friends who were considering this ship for their first cruise for their family of 5, so I wanted to find out not just if the cabin would be good enough for me, but would it be good enough for me to recommend to friends for their first cruise. A lot rides on the first cruise but I knew that a lot of money had been spent updating the ship, so I was hopeful. โ–ถ FREE COURSE.
