Been watching so many Norwegian fjord cruises lately and I keep coming back to yours bc of your beautiful shots, serene music, and calm voice. Love your work and artistry.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Nice job. Very calming and informative. I also appreciate that you took this cruise with a young family, inspiring. Look like you all had a wonderful time.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the wonderful comment! We hope that our experience and mistakes are of valuable information to any would-be travelers, especially young families as ours. Our trip took a lot of effort and energy, but we’d like to think we tried and made the best of the circumstances given to us. Thanks again for watching and hope you have great one!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

We thank you for taking your time and watch our videos. We're glad that it has brought something of informational value and that the content was interesting enough. Thanks again and hope you have a great one!

[@HrHaakon]

The fact that they called the ship Grandiosa is the most hilarious thing I can even imagine.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Indeed! I think of the frozen pizza we have at the convenience store. They seem to have replaced it now with the Msc euribia though. Hope this episode have been helpful and have a good one!

[@johnmatthews7703]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful family adventure with us! Just love your son and daughter!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the complimenting words! They are a bit heavy on the energy side of things, but small glimpse like these just makes it worth it 😁The 2nd part are only days from being uploaded. Please stay tuned and hope you have great one!

[@SiameseCynic]

one of the best cruising video (and i watch ALOTTT)! looking forward to more!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Wow, many many thanks for the wonderful comment! We surely take your complimenting words with enthusiasm and the biggest smile. We’re glad it holds up to standard and we’ll be releasing the second part very soon. Thanks again and hope you have a great one!

[@SiameseCynic]

keep up the good work 🎉❤ we do understand and appreciate you taking the time for video like these all between work and family, much respect we also booked celebrity for may 2024 and will take you advices for excursions. 😉

[@doods20fer41]

Geiranger was the best place/scenery we had in our Scandinavian cruise via NCL Prima last May, it was gorgeous & the weather that time was sunny & in 50's

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Wow, sounds like the weather favoured your cruise well! We can only imagine how wonderful it must have been. Geiranger in rainy scenery has it's allure but nothing beats the sunny view in our honest opinion. Now that you mention May, perhaps that was the time we should have planned in our cruise. Thanks for the great input and have a good one!

[@chrisjohnston2695]

Beautifully crafted Vlog. Thank you :)

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kindest words! We really appreciate it :) Hope you have a good one!

[@abufaris729]

Best cruising vlog I have ever watched. I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for putting the time and effort to make it. Wish you and your family all the best.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kindest praise! We really appreciate that you notice the time and effort put into it. Many thanks again and hope you have a great one!

[@JochenTant]

Great video. Nice images and with your calm voice, i can feel your impressions. It's a really helpfull video to plan my journey to the fjords.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kind comment! We really appreciate that you enjoyed it. We hope the coming video will also aid you in your upcoming fjord journey :) thanks, and have a good one!

[@victormendoza3979]

Awesome video! Can't wait for the second episode!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kind words! We hope to get it done and uploaded soon :)

[@iyersharad]

beautiful video and family ...gave me exactly what I was searching for in our next cruise... cheers

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for watching and the kind words! We really appreciate the feedback! Good luck and well wishes for the coming cruise, hope the weather will be better at your cruise than it was on ours! Have a great one!

[@VietnamIdol2023-c8q]

Simply the best cruise videos, and probably the best vlog on KZbin. Hopefully one day when you'll make millions subscribers, please remember we are the first viewers!!!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Wow, thank you for the complimenting words! It encourages us to keep on documenting and uploading our trips, for sure! We’re glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for going out of your way and writing all these wonderful things. Hope you have great one!

[@JenSchr21]

Wow. Such a great video. We´re going with the Euribia in august this year.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Wow, the Euribia is the bigger and new ship compared to Grandiosa. It also looks more fresh :) Hope you have a nice cruise in August and that the weather is in your favor for all of the stops! Thanks again!

[@vfxdaily3883]

Where can i book this exact cruise? And you and your spouse did such an amazing job in making all this happen and still capture these amazing moments, just wow

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

This cruise can be booked through MSC cruises, from the ports of either Kiel, in Germany or Copenhagen in Denmark. I also assume that the ship we had has now been replaced with an even better ship with updated facilities, the MSC Euribia. And also thank you for the kindest words, we are encouraged to do even more when we have great audience such as yourself that can recognize and appreciate our hard work. Best of luck in finding the right cruise for you and hope you have great one

[@ryouchicken]

Great video! You have a beautiful family. I’d love to do a Norwegian Fjord cruise with my toddler hopefully next year.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the wonderful compliments! We’re glad you enjoyed the video! We really recommend it especially if you have a toddler since there are so many things they can entertain themselves with. Wishing you well on the upcoming cruise with your family with sunny warm weather! Have a great one and thanks again 🙂

[@maxlattwesen]

What a great video! I can’t wait to see the next episode. Have you visited Kiel as well?

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you! We really appreciate that you enjoyed it! We hope to upload part 2 of the cruise soon :) We had planned a full day trip in Kiel with roundtrip transportation to Hamburg when we touched base at the Kiel port, but our youngest was feeling under the weather and had fever. We had to cancel it unfortunately, but hope to cover it with a roadtrip or something in the near future :) Thanks again, and hope you have a good one!

[@DavideGrieco]

Amazing video!!! In which month did you take this cruise?

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you! This means a lot to us! We went on the first week of August. Hope you find this helpful, and have good one!

[@dannynguyen5796]

very nice. em trai oi anh Danny se ddi cruise Norway 6/09/2023 do you think I have to buy the tour from cruises ship or we can do our own?

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the nice comment! Regarding the tour from cruises, I would say it depends on your preferences. Tours from the cruise tend to be more expensive (almost double the normal rate in some cases), but then it is arranged by the msc and the cruise ship won’t leave you if the tour happens to be late upon disembarkation. We wanted more flexibility from our part due to the kids and not really keep track of schedule and therefore arranged tours of our own. The only time we kept in mind was when the boat leaves port. And we found it cheaper as well. Hope this helps and good luck on your upcoming cruise!

[@JagMag56]

Great movie, very good content, a lot of useful info and really pro edition, very nice to watch - thanks for that 👍 I plan as well msc cruise this July on exact the same itinerary, hope you will upload part 2 soon. Watching the movie I wonder if you had a drone with you? I read that drones are not allowed on MSC, did you have any problem or special requirements because of that?

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for all the complimenting words! We really appreciate that it could provide any insight or ease for you and anyone that will be planning on doing this cruise :) Part 2 will hopefully be up soon, we also really want to have it up as soon as possible. Regarding drone part, I was gonna bring the drone with me since there were no regulations or info about it on the time we hade booked our cruise. That changed 3 months prior to our booked cruise. It really bummed me out since I know royal Caribbean allowed you to bring a drone but not use it while on board or in the vicinity of the ports. At the risk of having it confiscated every time you board the ship, I simply decided not to bring it along. The drone footage you see are stockfootages. If I were to do this trip again and fully use my drone, I would rather opt for a road trip with the flexibility to adjust according to the weather. Hope this helps you out in your coming trip! I do hope the weather favors you far better than it did us :) best of luck and have good one!

[@lillyphan5986]

Really enjoyed the scenery… would you mind sharing what camera your wife used for her perspective of things? We’re planning on going to Norway and would love to record our hikes.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kind words! Our secondary camera that we used was the dji pocket 2. Great camera with smart auto exposure outdoors, but quality suffers when in doors. It was either this or the go pro, but thought that the gimbal that comes the dji pocket 2 would bring better and smooth footage. Hope this helps and hope the weather finds you well and sunny on your future Norway hikes!

[@lillyphan5986]

@@cruzcraftsvisuals wow thanks for answering so quickly and with an honest review. I was actually looking to purchase the Dji pocket 2 too. Thanks so much!!

[@mongannguyen]

Love your beautiful family. And thank you for sharing this video. I especially love how its so professional like a documentary with the pov of your family! How did you do the shots from above? With your own drone? Also, i believe i heard you say somewhere that you travelled in August. It looks pretty cold, is that common or just bad luck? We are going in August with the MCS Euribia, weather wont put us down, we are really looking forward to it. Im going to watch your ep.2 now!

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching! We really appreciate that you notice the effort we put in to make it as visually and content wise compelling :) Regarding the drone shots, they were stock footage. MSC was quite adamant on not bringing drones onboard and I had heard that they will confiscate it if they come by it upon security check when re-boarding the ship. Yes, that is correct, we did the cruise in the beginning of August. We felt like it was bad luck since there is around a 30% chance of rain during August, and when it did rain it got quite cold. Hopefully this helps you on your upcoming cruise with the better and updated MSC Euribia! We also hope that you’ll be getting a much sunnier weather than we did! Thanks again and hope you have great one!

[@vlrmff3438]

26:39 in my opinion is better a holiday by camper than on a cruise

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

If we had to redo this trip, we would definitely rather go by car and camper than cruise, that’s for sure 👍

[@jessicael9031]

Thank you SO much for this series. I am booked on MSC Euribia with almost the exact same itinerary in June with my toddler. Did you use the daycare at all for your children during the cruise?

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

Thank you for watching! We did try the daycare for a couple of hours for our eldest, but we’re informed by the daycare staff that he was not comfortable being there by himself, was mostly passive and not engaging in play and and was constantly asking where we were. So it was more that it wasn’t a fit for us, but in terms of the daycare staff and the many activity rooms it was great. For the time we were there the msc kids area was probably running at a 60% capacity, so the staff seemed to have time to attend to the kids that were there. Hope this helps and have a great cruise this coming June!

[@jessicael9031]

@@cruzcraftsvisuals Thank you! Do you have more videos of your cruise coming? Would love to learn more about the other ports on this itinerary.

[@cruzcraftsvisuals]

We have part 2 in the making, where we show our stop at Ålesund and Flåm, and some small highlights in between :) we aim at having it done soon 👍 thanks again!
