Creator's Key Takeaways

my first time cruising was on the norwegian escape in 2021 in december

i was expecting to spend a lot of time in my room or to just kind of generally not have a lot to do

the food was really really good um even the buffet which you know you would think of being plain was some of the best food that i've had

all in all cruising was a wonderful experience i loved it um i obviously will be doing it again

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a thermal suite pass for quiet spaces
Bring noise-cancelling headphones for sensory overload
Pack a second bathing suit and a small drawstring bag
Be prepared for disembarkation motion sickness
