Creator's Key Takeaways

We wanted to share with you guys our cruise experiences from our first cruise all the way up to the one that we got coming up.

Norwegian Cruise Line, we have learned is that it's much more laidback and you have to search for the fun.

The best advice I can give first-time cruiser going on Norwegian Encore is that number one, don't go in expecting things to go exactly A through Z.

My favorite ship so far is the Norwegian Prima because of the layout, the friendliness of the staff, the speed of the service.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack sunscreen and comfortable lace-up shoes for walking.
Be patient during embarkation as it takes time to load thousands of passengers.
Don't expect things to go exactly on schedule; be flexible.
Get a drink after muster station to help relax.
Unpack as soon as your room is ready to settle in.
