Norwegian Viva Full Walkthrough Tour - A Ship with BIG ISSUES
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We've uncovered surprising design flaws and serious issues that other cruise reviewers won't mention.
The biggest problem that we have found though is a lack of seating particularly on the bottom deck.
It is a really big issue and it really is a big shame because this area and the food is absolutely outstanding.
The Improv Comedy Lounge is even smaller... it is such a shame and such a mistake.
