Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just got back from a Norwegian cruise on board the Norwegian Sun a cruise around the Canary Islands and tripota and my goodness it was absolutely fantastic

I took my first cruise on Norwegian when I was 11 years old and it's a real kind of walk down memory lane for me to cruise with Norwegian

It was more kind of relaxing it was only 75 full I asked for reception so that was pretty cool

The Norwegian Sun I booked the Norwegian Sun and within a couple of weeks of me booking the ship she crashed into an iceberg... it was fine they just went back to Port they fixed it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance that specifically covers cruises
Book the day before for train travel to Southampton
Consider Norwegian for solo cruising
Check cruise line policies for food allergies

YouTube Video Description

I took my first cruise with NCL when I was 11 so this really was a walk down memory lane for me. Norwegian are the cruise line I always compare everything else to so I hope they'd live up to my memory! I cruised to the Canary Islands in an inside cabin, let's chat about it. Usual time, 5pm UK (12pm Eastern). :-)
