Creator's Key Takeaways

We are currently, as we mentioned, in Ward Cove in Ketchacan. So this is Norwegian's privately developed cruise port that they wanted their ships to dock at.

The crew has been great on board. We have met some amazing from night one. Jerry down at the whiskey bar. Molings whiskey bar.

I will say this is my first liquid of the morning and I I def we were up until that time. Far later than I wanted to be for a sale talk Friday morning's kickoff.

It's been a very quiet cruise in terms of announcements, which has been so announcements, but also water wildlife, which is kind of a bummer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use wristbands or patches for seasickness if needed.
Book specialty dining in advance, as it can be added late without problem.
Take advantage of shareholder benefits if you own NCL stock.
