True story:  One of my biggest regrets of the last few years is that my husband and I didn't buy an RV in our early 30s to see more of the United States. Here's the view from Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park

When my husband saw that one of Norwegian Cruise Line's newest ships had a summer Iceland and Norway itinerary, we knew we wanted to be on it. I have wanted to visit Norway and Iceland for  years . But for some reason, Iceland just never worked out, and figuring out where to go in Norway felt intimidating. So a cruise seemed ideal! We made our reservation in August 2022 and spent the next year counting down to our 10-day cruise in late July/early August on the Norwegian Prima   around northern Europe... and the cruise was just as stunning as I'd imagined it would be. With so many different ports, this review is a long one... so let's dive in! Note: This post contains affiliate links.

In November 2022, my husband and I took our 3rd cruise: A 5-day trip from Miami to Cozumel and Great Stirrup Cay on the Norwegian Sky . It's crazy to think about the fact that before October 2021, I had never been on a cruise before... and in July 2023, I'll take my 4th one! That's how much we love cruising.
