Creator's Key Takeaways

I prefer to kind of just That's the thing about this city. It's there's so many people, but it's definitely an experience that I would recommend to anybody.

This ship is the biggest Norwegian cruise ship I've ever been on. Uh the one the I've been on the Epic, the Star, the Jewel, the Dawn, and now the Viva.

This is going to be a really good trip.

I think this is the Asian side. Istanbul's both in Europe and Asia. Supposed to be more of a chill, laidback side of Istanbul compared to the European side.

✓Watch your step when walking around the ship to avoid tripping.
✓Consider buying a thermal pass for unlimited access to spa facilities.
