Creator's Key Takeaways

hey everyone it's Kenan adre here from Northern Viking Explorer we are here in Southern California and we're going to head to the Port of Long Beach and head out on a cruise

we're on our way there was a bit of a traffic jam so we had our Uber driver drop us off at Harry Bridges Memorial Park and we'll just walk down to the cruise port

while the sailway party was great it was a lot of fun carnival really knows how to throw a big sail away party it was definitely a happening place

night one on the Carnival Radiance is done and it was an excellent night we had a great dinner there's been lots of entertainment and still lots of stuff going on

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make a reservation on the app for the main dining room to get notified when a table is ready
Arrive early for comedy shows as lines form quickly and seats fill up fast
Use magnetic hooks on the ceiling to hang items in the cabin as walls may not be metal

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin plugs and outletsBring a European plug with USB A and C ports for extra outlets, as some sides of the bed lack plugs
Noise in cabinRequest a fan from the room steward to help with noise and sleep better
