Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian Viva dropped it. Gorgeous. Seriously luxurious and yes, occasionally infuriating.

Indulge food hole isn't just a name. It's a delicious warning.

The pool comically small. It's sitcom bathtub small.

Would I sail Viva again? Let's just say I need a discount, a pool I don't have to fight for, and a therapist for all of the upsells.
