I will be on the same cruise next weekend. Looking forward to this. Thank you for the video.
so cool! great you got to do this
cant wait for the next one
Going to the same cruise coming up! Excited 😅
Great vid! 😁
This is much nicer than the Carnival cruise I went on....
I loved your Vlog, you do a great job covering the highlights & video work. I often go on Solo Cruises me being single and have been cruising for 22 yrs. Hope your Cruise Channel grows!
Thank you so much!! 😊
This was a great 1st vlog! So informative and entertaining! Can't wait to follow you and the series! I've only done one Norwegian, but I'll be on the Bliss Feb 11th for a Mexican Riviera. Really looking forward to it!
Thank you so much! I love the Bliss! I did the same Mexican Riviera cruise in March 2022 on the Bliss and had the best time, I’m sure you will too! 😊
Will be there next year.
Thanks for the video. We did almost the exact same cruise on the Star last year (it was 2 days shorter tho!). Nice to reminisce and see the ship again. Looking forward to watching the rest of the cruise.😊
Oh yes! I actually watched all of your videos on this cruise before I left, they were so helpful and informative! Thank you!! 😊
@@MerCruisesSolo oh wow, that's awesome, thanks for watching 😁 Hope you enjoyed the cruise as much as we did.😍
@@thelifeofreillytravels I absolutely did, best trip yet!😍
Estou te acompanhando do Brasil, posta mais sobre este navio.
Vou fazer em breve ❤❤
Thank you! There will be a new episode each week on Saturdays!
Thank you for sharing your cruise with us all. I have two questions. On how many cruises have you been to reach Sapphire status and was your cabin a solo cabin or did you had to pay the supplement. This cruise will definitely be on my bucket list. I'll be retiring soon and off I go 🙂Can't wait to watch more of your vlogs
@@KikiB90 thank you!! I reached sapphire after 13 or so cruises I believe, I’d have to go back and count, but several of them were double/triple or even quadruple points per night because of promotions that NCL was running so you can get to the next level faster. This cabin was not considered solo as they hadn’t introduced that category yet at the time of this cruise and my booking! I believe I paid a small supplement
I’ve been wanting to book a solo cruise on Norwegian for when I finish school in April. I just hope I wouldn’t get too lonely being on a boat without knowing anyone else
It is so easy to meet people! Make sure to go to the solo meetups that happen each evening, but you will organically meet folks around the ship too!
Was on the 7/1/24 cruise😅.
I liked the vlog overall. My favorite part was when you stood in front of the full length mirror and said "this mirror is gonna be a problem showing my outfits, if you care". I don't care because I'm a man. The point I want to make is that by saying if you care, you came across as not being a diva, or a fashionista. Which made me glad that I clicked on your vlog, because I've been burned in the past by watching vlogs from women cruising solo who turned out to have these diva tendencies.
You are an attractive woman who came to have a fun, memorable vacation. Which is what I want to watch, and I am looking forward to the rest of your vlogs.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing this!! 😊

Dang, very cute young lady. I cruise solo too. I do wish I had a partner in crime to enjoy this lifestyle. Enjoy and best of luck on you channel.
I can't say I'm crazy about the cruise line holding everyone's passports for the duration of the cruise. I understand the intent, especially in a tender port. But I'd feel a lot more comfortable having my passport with me while in a foreign country. What happens if you get asked for it by police officers (which happens in some countries)? Or if, heaven forbid, you need to get medical care while in a foreign port?
If there’s an emergency, the ship would provide your passport as needed - on our cruise, a group of folks got left behind (they showed up hours after departure time) at our last port, and the ship retrieved their passports and left them with the port authority so they would be able to travel to the next destination. I always have a photocopy of my passport with me, but I never bring my physical passport off the ship on any cruise in any country, it always stays in the safe in case of theft!
Good job. We were on this same cruise with you. We were also on the two prior Star itineraries, boarding in Lisbon. You may want to look up what happened on the cruise (same Norwegian Star Antarctic itinerary - a few cruises after the one you just reviewed) ... th-cam.com/video/Bss41dRFC2Y/w-d-xo.html. It would be interesting to get your impression of what NCL did, essentially declaring a "slow order" for Star for the remaining three "Antarctic" itineraries, making them generally South America at sea itineraries. The passengers seemed pretty upset, especially with no notice or compensation of the major itinerary changes. Lastly, I appreciate the tone and tenor of your videos, so much so that this is the first comment I've made to any of the hundreds of cruise videos I have watched. Looking forward to future videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I have heard what's going on with the later itineraries, and I am so disappointed in the lack of communication and transparency from NCL. I understand there's plenty of fine print in the cruise contract allowing them to make changes for any reason, but if I had been on one of these changed itineraries, I'd feel the same as the upset and angry passengers. These types of itinerary conflicts (if that's the reason?) should be cleared up far before folks are boarding the ship. I hope NCL makes it right for the passengers affected, but I am so grateful to have had the itinerary that was originally planned, and did love every minute!
