Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not going to be using National Express again. It was It was a lot of money and yeah, not not happy.

I definitely if it had a Starbucks, it would be maybe my favorite ship.

Overall, it was a really great trip. We had a lot of fun, lots of memories, lots of souvenirs.

I think it's clear that I would revisit England to see all the other areas that we didn't see, but what and Norway. We're definitely going to revisit Norway.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider using Royal Caribbean's shuttle to Heathrow instead of National Express for a more direct service.
