Welcome to Day 2 of our Norwegian Aqua daily vlog series! Today is a full sea day as we steam from New York to Bermuda, and we are breaking down everything you need to know to maximize your cruise vacation on NCL’s brand new ship. Watch this full walkthrough to get the ultimate NCL Aqua tips and tricks, saving you time and stress on your next sailing. In this episode, we tackle the reality of complimentary dining on the Aqua. We head to breakfast at Hudson's, where we expose the truth behind the quoted 40 minute wait times and explain why starting your morning at the Indulge Food Hall might be your best bet. We also share a quick update on our Day 1 specialty dining disaster at Nama and check out the high resolution Freestyle Dailies available on our community page. Later, we head out to deck 18 to test out the thrilling Drop Slide with a chest mount camera rig, grab a quick lunch at Indulge Food Hall, and review the massive Latitudes loyalty event in the Aqua Theater. We also navigate some rough sea weather with 10 to 12 foot waves, hunt down missing darts at the Bullseye Bar, and play a quick round of mini golf. For dinner, we head to Cagney’s Steakhouse for a 5 out of 5 specialty dining experience featuring their famous wedge salad, crab cakes, and perfectly cooked filet mignon. We round out the night with the "Revolution" Prince tribute show, a crowded stand up comedy set at the Improv, and a crucial $200 arcade pass refund situation at the casino. We end our night with a late night bite at the 24 hour Local Bar and Grill and a quiet moment in the Observation Lounge.
