Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the maiden voyage of Norwegian Aqua, and I am excited to be here, excited to show this off to you.

We're now delayed and we're not going to be going to Boston at all. We're actually going to be a 10-day cruise now ending in New York City on April 7th.

I'm just happy that the beds are together and I'm ready to go to bed even though it's only 7:30.

Just happy to be on Norwegian Aqua. Been looking forward to seeing the ship for a long time.

โœ“Book Vibe Beach Club passes as soon as they are available because they book up quickly.
โœ“Pack plenty of patience for maiden voyages due to potential hiccups.
โœ“Try to make dining reservations early or use the app if available.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I set sail on Norwegian Aqua's maiden voyage. Norwegian Aqua is the newest cruise ship in the world, the brand new cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line! But there is a big problem announced before we ever board Norwegian Aqua. This new cruise ship, the first Prima Plus ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, was supposed to be headed out of Southampton on a 7-night Transatlantic voyage, however, we received SHOCKING cruise news at embarkation that changed all of that! Norwegian Aqua is a beautiful cruise ship and is an improvement on her sister's Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva. I board Norwegian Aqua and show you an oceanview stateroom, a balcony stateroom, the Aqua Slidecoaster, Planterie, Sukhotai, Glow Court, and more! All of the new additions to Norwegian Aqua are featured as we take a full tour around this new cruise ship. Norwegian Cruise Line has created a beautiful cruising experience with their new ship Norwegian Aqua!
