Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian Viva is nearly unrecognizable in a good way

the main pool area is it's truly tiny when compared to other pool decks

I was rather disappointed to find that during our four night sailing on Norwegian Viva there was no glow party

YouTube Video Description

I recently returned from my first time sailing onboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest and grandest ship, Norwegian Viva, during one of its first sailings departing from the United States. The itinerary was a quick 4-night sailing that visited Nassau and Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. From the Indulge Food Hall to the tiny pool deck, we were able to assess some of our favorite and least favorite things about this brand-new ship during this 4-night cruise!
