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

the cruise I went on was on board the Norwegian Sun I've never been on sun but I was on her sister ship when I was a child so somewhere in the back of my mind I recognize things and it has been updated a lot since then

it was more kind of relaxing it was only 75 full I asked for reception so that was pretty cool compared to if you go on Prima it's going to be a very different experience

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). :-)
