YouTube Video Description

We’ve officially booked our 150th cruise, and we’re sailing on the brand-new Norwegian Aqua! This milestone brings us full circle back to our very first cruise in 1979 on the NCL Norway—and we can’t wait to compare how cruising has changed in 46 years. In this video, we share why we chose Norwegian’s newest ship, our forward-facing Club Balcony Suite, and what we’ll be reviewing onboard. Our focus? Adult couples (40+), dining quality, bar service, onboard activities, and overall value for the money—NOT family-focused content. We’ll cover: ✅ Is Norwegian Aqua good for adult couples? ✅ Are the drink & dining packages worth it? ✅ What’s the stateroom really like? ✅ How does cruising today compare to 1978?
