Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm trying the Norwegian cruise line for the very first time. And I've got my best friends Lauren with me. This is her very first cruise ever.
Avoid the buffet on the first day when you board cuz it's a mad house. Everyone goes to the buffet. Go to the American Diner.
We highly recommend the chicken pot pie casserole. It was so good.
My one gripe with the Norwegian app so far is it doesn't tell you the times of anything, and neither does the board outside the rooms in the hallway.
