YouTube Video Description↓

It's boarding day in Miami and I'm about to get onboard the BRAND NEW Norwegian Aqua for its US inaugural cruise! I am so excited to see what's new and different about the Aqua compared to the other ships in NCL's Prima Class which I already love. Today is spent exploring parts of the ship seeing new venues and touring a new stateroom category for me... (hint: not a balcony!)
