Creator's Key Takeaways
We were one of the first paying passengers on the maiden voyage of the Norwegian Aqua as it embarked in Southampton going to New York.
We really loved that uh food hall called Indulge. There was lots of choices. It was very fast, very efficient service, excellent chefs who listen and help whenever they can.
The shows in the theater were definitely worth going to. The theater has a great layout. It has a great sound system and really fantastic entertainers.
In summary, we thought that overall being on the Norwegian Aqua was a great experience for a new ship. It had a few obvious kinks and mostly seemed pretty much under control.
