Creator's Key Takeaways

Sometimes the best moments on a cruise are the ones you never planned.

A couple of paid restaurants went backwards while the included dining was consistently better than we expected.

Is Iona really the best way to see the Norwegian fjords? For us, yes, it is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Midship and low is worth choosing if you get seasick.
βœ“Book the FlΓ₯m Railway as soon as possible as it sells out fast.
βœ“Book independent excursions where they're better value than ship excursions.
βœ“Reserve a table at the Olive Grove as soon as you board.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Seasickness β€” Choose a midship and low cabin to minimize feeling the swell.
Dining costs β€” Included dining can be excellent; you don't need to spend a fortune on specialty restaurants to eat well.
