Creator's Key Takeaways

I just sailed on the newest cruise ship in the world, and it was perhaps the wildest sailing I've been on in 46 cruises.

The open decks were consistently crowded. The Luna Midway, that's a bit of a new area up on deck 18, and then all the outdoor areas above and near that with the putt putt course, the free games, and the aqua slide coaster. It was always packed up there, making it both hard to walk through and also hard to enjoy.

And then things got quite wild on day two of the cruise. And that's because a full power outage occurred on the ship, followed almost immediately by a code bravo, which for those of you who might not know means a fire on board.

I love being out on Ocean Boulevard. The main atrium on the ship with those floor to-seeiling windows on deck 7 is simply stunning.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider a European itinerary or transatlantic sailing for the best Prima class experience.
βœ“Upgrade to the free at sea plus for unlimited Starbucks and 50% off specialty dining.
βœ“Avoid the buffet if it feels cramped; try Indulge Food Hall instead.
βœ“Book a specialty dining reservation at Kagny's steakhouse.

Norwegian Luna is here and I sailed the world's NEWEST cruise ship on one of her very first sailings ever. In this Norwegian Luna review, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about Norwegian Cruise Line's brand new cruise ship using my STEPS process: Ship, Taste, Entertainment, Ports, and Service. Is Norwegian Luna worth booking? Is this the best cruise ship Norwegian Cruise Line has ever built? Let's find out. Norwegian Luna is the fourth ship in Norwegian Cruise Line's Prima series, and as a Prima Plus class cruise ship, she's closely related to Norwegian Aqua, a ship I absolutely loved on a 10-day transatlantic cruise last year. But sailing Norwegian Luna in the Caribbean was a very different experience, and in this review I'm giving you my completely honest take.

In this Norwegian Luna review you'll find everything from the cruise ship's stunning design and spacious staterooms, to the specialty dining, entertainment, service, and the unexpected chaos that made this one of the wildest cruises I've ever been on - including a power outage and a fire on board the cruise ship, all in the same afternoon!
