Beautiful ship, but issues existed...

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Viva

The Good: Viva is stunning! To quote Titanic, "You could still smell the fresh paint". Everything is new, shiny, and bright. The light aesthetic and decor in the staterooms, make the space look and feel much larger than previous NCL sailings, but still very familiar. The hallways and corridors felt a little larger and the woodwork/trim is just lovely. It looks expensive and well thought ...

The overall experience is ehhh. Carnival is better, Holland is better, genuinely any other cruise line besides Margaritaville is better. The food on Norwegian is pretty bad unless you go to a restaurant (that you pay extra at), the boat is insanely crowded, the excursions always leave late because the masses don’t show up on time, and the customer service is subpar. If you want to do anything ...

Overall a great ship. Brand new. Food on board was delicious. Drinks were well prepare most of the time everywhere, beer on the other hand can be colder for my taste. The game room and go karts were spectacular. Entertainment for example the betelgeuse show was wayyyyy to long. Half way half of the people were sleeping and other already left. Total.of 1 hours and 45 min... almost 2 hours i think ...

Priority Access is a scam

WARNING on priority access. Do not waste the money. No one at the port or on the ship knows where to direct you so you end up in the main boarding line anyway, your “early” time slot is the same as all the other passengers, the onboard spa credit is a scam as you have to spend $500 just to get the $100 and it’s only for certain services, many trips don’t have tendering heavy stops and the ...

I don't Understand all The fuss and Negative Reviews

After booking this cruise, and reading all the negative reviews I fail to understand most of them. We sailed on the NCL Pride Of America on the last cruise before Covid hit, and was very impressed. When deciding to take a vacation this year, and after comparing all the other lines we have been on, (IE: Carnival and Princess) and NCL, we decided on this itinerary and ship. The ship being new and ...

Ncl not for foodies

We decide to try NCL to experience the new Prima class ship and want a departure from Puerto rico. Service and entertainment on board are great, drinks are also good main problem is the quality of food in main dining room. We are use to cruise with Celebrity and food on Ncl is not at the same level. The are also a lot of extra to pay, for example to have decent coffee you have to go to Starbuck… ...

NCL Decline

Pros: -aesthetically beautiful - Staterooms are spacious Cons: You can really see cost cutting measures in comparison to pre-covid cruising - food quality poor and limited selection in every venue - drinks being substituted for cheap puree. E.g margarita made with an orange puree rather than triple sec or controiu - buffet breakfast closes at 9:30 - buffet breakfast has ...

Giving NCL a second try as a long-time Princess & Celebrity cruiser

Background Information This was our 2nd Norwegian cruise (31st overall for me, 32nd overall for my husband) - we'd previously sailed separately on Norwegian Sky more than 10 years ago. When the Prima class was announced, we decided that this was a ship design very much to our liking. So we thought it was time to give Norwegian another try with a new ship more in keeping with the ships we've ...

My husband and I met up with our friends from Florida to experience this new cruise ship. We were prepared for the ship to be smaller than what we usually cruise on, but we were super excited about the racetrack and the Infiniti pools. Boarding went smoothly, and the first thing we noticed was how bright the colors and decor was. The choice of colors used on the ship were absolutely beautiful! The ...
