Cruising is very expensive, right?! Yes! But, there are a few things you can do to reduce the price dramatically. An 11 day cruise would usually be very expensive but I found a great deal and booked last minute! Today, we also explore Isafjordur, Iceland! Enjoy!

Hi Ben, have you ever gone on an Australian cruise? I love solo cruising and have fallen in love with the solo cabin through Norwegian. I also meet so many people as a solo traveler. Whales? This would have been the highlight of my trip! I agree; I no longer care about cruising the Caribbean after my Alaska cruise.

I have been to Australia but not on a cruise! You will definitely meet more people when you're solo rather than traveling with others! Whales were great! Going to the Caribbean is amazing but why go 10 times? 🤣 Thank you, Nicole!

What a view from a rock! Beautiful. 😁 Great deal. You can't beat those last-minute deals. My 15-night NCL cruise of Central America next year was listed at $900. Amazing! It will be my first solo cruise, so I did get the internet package because I was afraid I might get bored on sea days. That, added with port fees and insurance (being a year out, I figured it was wise) and a couple of excursions, all of a sudden, I'm at $2,400. Ouch! I try to stay under $150/day. This one is at $160, but for all the experiences, I think it will be worth it.

I got a very very good last minute deal, Matthew! Very last minute! Wow, that’s still an amazing deal for 15 days! When you think about what’s included in that price, it’s still an unbelievable deal! Many places around the world, you’d pay $160 just for a nice hotel so add in everything else and it’s a great deal. I think wifi on a longer cruise is a good move, I was looking at a transatlantic cruise that has 8/9 sea days out of a 12 day cruise so I think getting the wifi would be a good idea. Either the wifi package or the drinks package to cure the boredom 😂 add in the excursions too and I think you got a great deal!

Hi Ben! Love watching your videos! I have a question regarding NCL and the solo rooms. How do you book yours? I go on the website all the time and choose the solo/single traveler but every cruise I find, even the ones over a year away, show "not available". Am I doing something wrong or missing something? For the last year, I have not been able to find any available solo cabin for any NCL cruise. Not sure if you can only do it over the phone? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
@TravelWithBen121
@TravelWithBen121 2 месяца назад
Cheers, Jason! You’re not doing anything wrong, solo cabins are just very difficult to find because there’s not many of them! Most NCL ships have maybe 50-60 solo cabins so they sell out fast. Maybe you are doing something wrong because I just checked the website and there are studio cabins available for upcoming cruises. Make sure you change the filter to 1 person when you search. Good luck! 😊
@stvdagger8074
@stvdagger8074 2 месяца назад
check at the top of the page - it usually defaults to 2 persons - and if 2 persons are selected, the solo cabins will show as "unavailable" You have to manually change it to 1 person.

Ooo this is another lovely place! Pity it was rather cloudy but the views are amazing and it’s so tranquil. Based on your videos, I still prefer that little port in Norway though. Being an introvert who has lived in big, busy and noisy cities all my life (due to work), I think these small serene places with gorgeous views are like heaven! Did the orange cat speak English or Icelandic? 😂 I prefer the old churches in Europe- they have a different type of ambiance- full of history. Ooh the food looks so good.. I’m hungry now. Thanks for the video! I think I missed an earlier one - when you first arrived in Iceland. Will go view that. I think Iceland is absolutely beautiful!
@TravelWithBen121
@TravelWithBen121 3 месяца назад
Thank you, Lim! Welcome back 😊 I didn’t think I would get a nice video but the clouds cleared up nicely to show the top of the mountains! I totally agree with you that small places like this are just worlds away from bustling crowded cities. I also agree that this place isn’t as beautiful as Geiranger, Norway but definitely a different perspective! HAHA the cat didn’t answer when I asked him if he wants to go hiking so I’m guessing he only speaks Icelandic! I agree about the churches, this one was just a basic building, nothing like the traditional ones you see. Delicious food as always! This is the second port in Iceland so you must have missed Akureyri in the last video, another nice place! Thanks for watching, Lim 😁

Hi Ben, great video as usual. Ive really enjoyed your recent cruise vlog. I think the price you paid for the cruise is amazing. May I ask how you found such a great deal???. Do you use a certain website for finding cruise deals?? or did you book through Norwegian cruise line direct?? Im most definitely going to book a cold weather cruise sometime next year. Ive sailed the world through my job as a merchant seaman but im now retired and missing the sea, so cruising is just the ticket for me now and the perfect way to spend my retirement.

So, either before the cruise or I think you can ask your room attendant after boarding, ask them for a mattress topper. Makes that crease in the middle of the bed so much more comfortable. I just called NCL and it was taken care of in less than 5 minutes and when I arrived to my room, the topper was already there.
