Creator's Key Takeaways

I am not a fan of Royal Caribbean's Key Program which is a VIP Access program in which you can pay extra to get certain perks and amenities during your cruise

the beautiful scenery in the fjores now let me tell you something while I'm complaining here that I had to see the same amazing scenery for a second and third time it was still absolutely amazing

I under packed to be more agile and it backfired badly

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Do everything in the pre-cruise check-in before you arrive to make embarkation easy
βœ“Book a balcony cabin for the views on a Norway cruise
βœ“Consider overpacking slightly to have extra outfits and space for souvenirs
