My Cruise Went to the Red Light District! Norwegian Prima: 11 Day Solo Cruise

I think you are my favorite travel Vlogs along with Ben and David’s Vlogs. I lost My husband 5 months ago! It was devastating and I very much need a reason to get out of bed and start a new chapter in my life. I think I’m going to start solo traveling (because of you.) I’m 72 my husband didn’t care much for traveling and I’ve always wanted to travel and traveled the World through Books and Vlogs like yours! I want to (Thank you) so very very much. Your Vlogs have gotten me through some very difficult days. Chi ❤️‍🩹❤️❤️

I think it’s so great that NCL takes the time to build activities for the solos 😊I will have to try them!

Thank you for the great video showing Amsterdam. This is one of the places it would be nice to visit, but almost unattainable due to the distance from where we live.

Hi Ben, like the solo planner sheet for each day. We didn't have that on my trip last year...enjoy your days in Norway.....

Tip for the next time you're on a cruise that visits Amsterdam: take a train to Haarlem (15 min) or Utrecht (30 min). I think you would like those cities.

Appreciate your observations and the tour. (17:55) Amsterdam seems to follow the same trend of many western cities these days. They are not what they were 5, 10, 15 years ago. Higher crime, homeless people on the streets, drugs, broken infrastructures, graffiti, dirty streets, high inflation, immigrants, ... the same set of issues. Yet these were not on the front page of western newspapers. Instead, it's all about elections, the Ukraine war, Israel and Gaza, high tariffs on Chinese EV, trade wars. It's a good time to take a cruise and get away.

I will add the Van Gogh Museum to my list of things to see. Thanks! So, Ben, when do we get to hear you sing Karaoke?

I really enjoyed my cruise on the Prima. It felt like an upscale hotel. I'm looking forward to going on Prima's sister ship (Viva) in January out of Puerto Rico too!

What a fun video! Amsterdam is on my list (minus the red light district). Good to know you don't have to go on excursions. I would spend all day in the museums. The food vending machines are Automats in the US.

Cool video! I went to Amsterdam a few times but didn’t venture to the red light district. Went on a canal ride and museums. Again, the food looks good ! 😂 I think I would gain so much weight if I ever took a cruise!

I agree about Anne Frank house! I was disappointed when I visited 35 years ago. I am about to head to Amsterdam tomorrow and looked to get tix…yup sold out!

I was in Amsterdam almost 50 years ago. A group of us, mostly males in the 18 - 20 year range went to the red light district at night. As far as I know, no one did anything there, but it was definitely an experience for a group of young Americans. I enjoyed your video.

Another fun video. I know it’s not your favorite to do, but I liked seeing your food and the menu. Thanks for that.

Hey Ben, NCL Solo cruiser as well as TA - don't forget you can still book onboard the ship and use you $50 Free@Sea Excursion credit - I loved Belgium and for future reference we had plenty of time in Bruges and it was amazing. There are many tour buses there so if a worse case scenario you can get picked up by one of the other buses -it started raining & we were able to jump on another bus w approval of the driver. You can also catch an Uber back. I also use Viator. On my Northern European Cruise last mid Sept-early Oct I booked most of my cruises on the ship. Many times I do the Bruges on your own for instance but the transportation is provided. Alright -keep cruising I might do a TA on the Prima -. You probably had a wonderful time w Romeo as you Solo Leader. NCL is the best out there for Solo Cruising .Enjoy

Good video. I can't imagine losing my car in the canal. I wonder if they have canal insurance for their vehicles. I would visit the Ann Frank house, very interesting.

Morning, Ben ! A city of rivers, museums and old culture and about 870,000 in total population and at 67 degree F, you can walk all day , Ben. And the big yellow dod said " Wake me up if you dare !" Nice trip ! Good day !

I just laughed at every tram you showed after the day before! 😂

Going on the same cruise in a month but the reverse (Iceland to Southampton)😀

👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

Looking forward to your videos
