Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising for 20 years, but I've always avoided maiden voyages.

Norwegian Luna really has to be seen to be believed.

It was a cruise that I will never ever forget.

The great thing about being the first ever guests on the ship was that our cabins were ready for us as soon as we boarded.

Book specialty restaurants through the app as soon as you board.
Use the fish on the carpet to navigate forward on a large ship.
Try the dry drop slide for a quick thrill without needing swimwear.
