Creator's Key Takeaways

The guaranteed rooms are not guaranteed.

I think Norwegian has the best drink package.

I probably won't be going on Norwegian again, and it's nothing against them.

I wish I would have did my research a little bit better and brought a a water bottle or reusable water bottle.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not book a guaranteed room if you care about specific location or deck.
Bring a reusable water bottle since the drink package does not include water.
Research room locations thoroughly before booking to avoid undesirable placements.

YouTube Video Description

If you watched my Norwegian Jade videos, you probably recognized that I wasn't my normal chipper self. The cruise started off on the wrong foot when I didn't get the room I booked, even though it was a "guaranteed room", I learned that guaranteed means no such thing. Bottom line, I ended up on the bottom of the ship underneath the galley (kitchen), which is not a very desirable location. Had I had a room on a higher floor, I feel like I would have went into the cruise with a better attitude and would have probably enjoyed it a little more and not been so critical. As it is, I can't turn back time, but I wanted to make this video to address the snarky comments I made throughout my Norwegian Jade series of videos. On the ship, I didn't really have any issues, except that the drink package did not include cans of water. It's funny, I can get an $8 aluminum can of beer with my package, but can't get a $4 aluminum can of water. That was my biggest complaint once on the ship, besides the room location. If you watched this video, hopefully my negative attitude didn't turn you off and you continue to hang out with me on cruises and around Orlando.
