The light flicker is probably because you're recording at 30 or 60 fps while the power in Europe is on 50 Hz so its not lining up. So to stop this you have to change to 25 or 50 fps recording if possible. This is not an issue on cruise ships as most use 60 Hz power. Also with modern LED lights this is also not an issue because they are DC (direct current) and not AC (alternating current).
We just got off the same cruise and I loved it. Captain warned us we may not make it to Amsterdam but we did end up going there. I was nervous about the mixed reviews of the ship but I loved it. Exactly as some described it was like a boutique hotel. Beautiful decor and we didn’t really have a hard time finding places on the ship to hang out. The band that played rock and roll in Syd Norman’s was phenomenal. The Donna Summer show was absolutely incredible. The price is right was fun as well.
So glad you enjoyed the ship as much as I did! It really ended up being a great choice for that itinerary. Syd Norman's is amazing, definitely one of my favorite venues on every NCL ship that has it - such talent! So glad you enjoyed your cruise! :)
I am going to Reykjavik on Saturday and would like to go to the blue lagoon, can I book the tour when I get there? Also, is there private shower stalls? Thanking you in advance!
Yes, I believe you can just walk in and book at the desk, but it is pretty easy to book online as well and you have the full day to visit, so it’s flexible. Yes, there are private shower stalls at Blue Lagoon!
I've been to the Blue Lagoon twice and it's cool, but I hear the Sky Lagoon nearer Reykjavik is the place to go now. I did notice an appreciable difference (and not in a good way) between my visit about 10 yrs ago and my visit in 2023.
Hi Meredith! what does the bottom feel like at the blue lagoon? is it sandy, or muddy-feeling or ? ?We will be going there this September. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi,just starting watching your channel and we love your content, also I absolutely love your sunglasses...could you please tell me the brand? Going on a cruise to Alaska in September and I really need new sunglasses.
Oh that’s a good point! I did take into consideration the cost of shipping everything into Iceland drives the cost up but also it’s true they pay a livable minimum wage so tipping culture is definitely not like it is in the US!
@@MerCruisesSolo I’m doing this as part of Golden Circle tour excursion in September. How long do you recommend staying at Blue Lagoon? (I’m worried we might not get enough time in excursion.)
What is amazing at an avercrowded expensive place? There are more beautiful hot springs on Iceland… less people and more nature. So I must tell you, your story is kind of a bullshit!
It’s unfortunate that you feel that way, but I’m sharing my personal experience. Since I haven’t been to any other hot springs in Iceland, to me the Blue Lagoon was great 🤷🏻♀️

Great vlog! Great balance of entertainment and information! I'm super jealous because that looks like such a great time!
Thank you!! It was awesome 😊
Incredible! Definitely on my bucket list to visit
Thanks for sharing Mer… you always produce very good videos.
Thank you!! ☺️

Love this so much! Great video! Would love to visit that place!
@@Valerieesquilin thank you! It is beautiful and so relaxing! 😊
@@MerCruisesSolo I’m binge watching this NCLprima Vlog, is so good and SO BEAUTIFUL. 😍
@@Valerieesquilin thank you!!!
What a cool place, exited for the prima vids too. As always you rock..no you lava on this one 😁
😂 love it! 🌋
Would love to go to Iceland. Looks like you are living the dream right now. You should have 1000 subs soon!
Sooo close! 😄
Excellent! Will have to come back ❤
Awesome! I was just there last year and love it. 🙂 Wait - you were just in Bermuda...how'd you get to Iceland? LOL - happy travels Meredith 👍
In social media world, time moves so much more quickly! 😆
I definitely need to visit Iceland and Blue Lagoon. Have you ever been to the Dead Sea in Israel? The mud there has similar effects on skin.
Yes I have, it was amazing!
Nice video. You had spectacular weather for the Blue Lagoon and no eruption alarm 😅
Yes, I was very fortunate! The eruption happened several days later 😕
Happy saturday so close to 1,000 subscirbers!
Soooo close! 😊🙌🏼
Islàndia és un país/isla único. Què lo disfrutes tiene de todo en la naturaleza viva😊

Good to know! I will definitely check out Sky Lagoon next time I make it to Reykjavík!
What time of year is this?
@@bradhansen3503 this was in late May!
How cold is it.
@@rtraizer the water is not cold at all, it’s very warm! Like a hot tub. The weather outside really depends on what time of year you go
Returning to Iceland June 21 for a 10 day NCL cruise on the star
Have a great cruise! I have fond memories of the NCL Star 😊
@@MerCruisesSolo I watched your video when you were on the Star. We cruised the Star over 10 years ago.
Hi Meredith! what does the bottom feel like at the blue lagoon? is it sandy, or muddy-feeling or ? ?We will be going there this September. Thanks for the feedback!
@@gayleberger9585 as far as I can recall it is more of a hard ground with a very light layer of sand. Hope that helps, enjoy your trip!

Thank you so much!! I honestly don’t know the brand of my sunglasses, they were cheap ones I got from Amazon years ago 🫣🤣
That works for me! Thank you so much for answering my question 😊 Keep sailing❤
May I ask where you stored your luggage?
What month were you there?
@@robertvanover8378 end of May!
I actually didn’t think the food was that expensive. They wouldn’t let us tip most places so you saved money that way
Oh that’s a good point! I did take into consideration the cost of shipping everything into Iceland drives the cost up but also it’s true they pay a livable minimum wage so tipping culture is definitely not like it is in the US!
If you went on a cruise would u be able to go there
Or are u staying somewhere in Iceland
@@LB-cv8wg yes, if your cruise stops in Reykjavik you can definitely do the Blue Lagoon as an excursion!
How did you book your excursions from ?
I booked everything through Reykjavík Excursions on the FlyBus website, check the video description for the links!
How many hours can you stay?
@@merillkriszianjavier8747 you can stay as long as you want! No time limit 😊
Can we do this on a port stop?
Yes! The cruise line has it as an excursion option with transportation included or you could book it on your own 🙂
@@MerCruisesSolo I’m doing this as part of Golden Circle tour excursion in September. How long do you recommend staying at Blue Lagoon? (I’m worried we might not get enough time in excursion.)
@@Julie_DelMar I would say no less than 2 hours to get the full experience!
Can you rent a bathrobe?
I believe so, yes, but since mine was included I didn’t think to ask!
650kr for water is criminal, NEVER ever pay for water in icelang, drinking water is free here

@@RhondaNicholson-c3l they have a little building right next to the parking lot with luggage storage facilities (at a cost $)
