Is Norwegian Viva Worth It? Complete Ship Tour & Rating System
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
this was our first cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line and overall we had a really good time
the indulge Food Hall on Deck 8 at the back of the ship next to the local bar and grill is the coolest thing I have ever seen on a cruise ship
the Wi-Fi was upgraded to unlimited but at the non streaming level once we were on board the ship I had to spend another $550 to upgrade
we had a great time overall and would consider NCL again in the future but it would depend entirely on the ship and the itinerary

#cruisereview #cruise #cruising On October 10, 2024, we boarded the Norwegian Viva in Ravenna, Italy, for a nine-night Mediterranean cruise that would take us to Split, Croatia, Dubrovnik, Croatia, Corfu, Greece, Santorini, Greece, Kusadasi, Turkiye, Istanbul, Turkiye, and Mykonos, Greece. This was our first cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line, and overall, we had a really good time. For this cruise review, we’re going to introduce a new scoring system. Each category will be scored between 1 and 10, with 1 representing a very unsatisfactory rating and 10 representing an outstanding rating. This will give us an overall score for our experience on the Norwegian Viva. Keep in mind that this review is based on OUR experiences during this one cruise and may not reflect how other passengers might experience the same cruise. I should point out that there are several areas of the Viva that we either couldn't get to because we didn't have access or didn't visit because we didn't have time. This itinerary was very port-heavy with NO sea days, so that made it more difficult to really explore the ship. 00:00 Introduction 01:47 Crew 02:12 Stateroom Attendant 02:55 Stateroom 03:20 Viva Theater 04:41 Penrose Bar 05:14 Penrose Atrium 06:12 Cagney's Steakhouse 06:39 Commodore Room 07:05 Belvedere Bar 07:30 Starbucks 08:46 Shore Excursion Team 09:29 Guest Services 09:53 Iconnect 11:33 Ship's WiFi 12:56 Shopping in General 13:45 Syd Norman's Pour House 14:18 Improv At Sea 14:42 Le Bistro 16:03 Metropolitan 16:25 Hudson's 16:53 Deck 8 - The Entire Outdoor Area Around The Ship 17:49 Whiskey Bar 18:19 Onda Italian Restaurant 19:12 Photo Gallery 19:49 The Local Bar & Grill 20:32 Indulge Food Hall 21:24 Pulse Fitness Center 22:06 Mandara Spa & Salon 22:34 The Observation Lounge 23:14 Galaxy Pavilion and Arcade 23:44 Dry Slides and Water Slides 24:22 Main Pool Deck 24:56 Surfside Café 25:39 Surfside Grill 26:26 Palomar 27:03 The Stadium 27:46 Tee Time and The Bullseye 28:14 The Viva Speedway 28:56 Free At Sea program 31:41 The Ship Itself 32:28 Conclusion [Join this channel to get access to perks!] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChCnMqixeYshsUi3m0QEZFg/join [Subscribe for more vlogs!] https://www.youtube.com/oaklandtravel?sub_confirmation=1 [Facebook Groups] Royal Caribbean ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/royalcaribbeancruisinggroup Celebrity Cruises ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/celebritycruisesfbgroup Carnival Cruise Line ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/carnivalcruisesgroup MSC Cruises ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/msccruisesgroup Princess Cruises ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/princesscruisesgroup Norwegian Cruise Line ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/nclfbgroup London Travels ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/londontravels [Social Links] https://bsky.app/profile/oaklandtravel.bsky.social https://instagram.com/oaklandtravel https://twitter.com/oakland_travel https://facebook.com/oaklandtravel https://oaklandtravel.net https://www.reddit.com/r/oaklandtravel London 2023 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7Onq_JD4Q8If8MCI4qw0PEWnt [Cruise Vlogs] Norwegian Viva 2024 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnqHfHTwtHzszDx9l-3Qp6Ss Sapphire Princess 2024 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnqxzX46D9mhtq5h6BjeTEOo Allure Of The Seas 2024 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7Onpaii_GubCrp-V44PzOv_la Serenade Of The Seas 2023 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnqGX94l-G4KpdO8mumo98dz Celebrity Beyond 2023 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7Onq3vC4BrqIofCpGX_MHUA12 MSC Meraviglia 2022 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnpAUiG08CoeZn7gCqzhLc0h Voyager Of The Seas 2022 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnpaEDm087FaigXocQuUckQc Harmony Of The Seas 2022 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7Onpf797PiEzluAhF_Q4a_4ef Mardi Gras 2022 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnqQCyWb37iQwBWqmxlT7nmg Mariner Of The Seas 2022 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnoQVa83oBn1F5SvewvflGmG Scarlet Lady 2021 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7Onr9U82TTCjn5-E9b-zAa9Dz Adventure Of The Seas 2021 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnoHw9xjEzPTGbKqp_QnIbI_ Ovation Of The Seas 2019 ► https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPMQGOL7OnpOA56cTy9kqHuktRxpf0Vm
