Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Morgan from the very unofficial travel guides I've been making travel videos for over 15 years

one of the first things I noticed about this that was much different than a traditional cruise is when I got to the terminal I printed out my own boarding card at a machine

another thing that's very different is once you're on board almost everything costs extra

the craziest thing that I've realized that makes this different than a traditional cruise is you can bring your own food and drinks on board no problem

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make a reservation in advance for live shows
Bring your own food and drinks on board
Consider bringing a bike in summer for better experience

YouTube Video Description

The Colorline Ferries look just look cruise ships, and even have the word "cruises" written in huge letters on the side. They aren't cruise ships though! I took a 2 day cruise... or wait... ferry ride(?) from Kiel to Oslo and back on the Colorline Fantasy and realised, there are quite a few differences between the two. #cruise #cruiseline #ferry Get my NEW BOOK, "Places, Please!" on Amazon: Link for USA: https://amzn.to/49v7OCd Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qb5AAbSI9kcjptctjWs1g/join "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09MV7KR5K "Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship" Book Link for Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09MV7KR5K Get exclusive videos and behind the scenes looks here: https://www.patreon.com/veryunofficial Amazon links to my gear, and other fun stuff I wish I had! https://www.amazon.com/shop/veryunofficialtravelguides Follow on: www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides Instagram @MrMorganOBrien Twitter: @MrMorganOBrien Affiliate Links: I receive a small percentage from purchases made from affiliate links that may be contained in this description.
