Creator's Key Takeaways

we bought rain jackets and rain pants which the rain jackets were great because it also worked as a windbreaker

we ended up getting a balcony cabin which i'm so glad we did because once you get into the fjords

if you have the opportunity to take this tour this is of all tours take this tour it's well worth it

i saved 13 by using my credit card there's one thing we probably would have done differently
