Creator's Key Takeaways

So, on board Norwegian, they have an actual Starbucks store. First time I ever walked on board the ship, I didn't realize that.

I do want to point out that everything does look crowded and I won't lie on imbarcation day it always is.

Norwegian does make people follow the rules and they do not allow the kids on that righthand side in the pool and the spas.

We have waited five months for the most perfect drink in the whole wide world. It is a raspberry guava mojito.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the main dining room for a quieter sit-down meal on embarkation day instead of the crowded buffet.
Line up at bars using the provided lines to ensure your place is held.
Try the hand-scooped ice cream, which is included in your cruise fare.
