Creator's Key Takeaways
I have cruised solo multiple times with Norwegian Cruise Line. And each time I have been so, so impressed.
I love freestyle cruising for the simple reason that it feels much more relaxed than a lot of the more traditional cruise products out there.
The 15th tip is that you need to look for the fish and remember that fish always swim forward.
I would personally recommend dining at Kagnes. I have never had a bad experience in there.
