Creator's Key Takeaways

For years, the biggest complaint about Great Stirup K was that it didn't have a pool, but that just changed.

We were completely shocked that this was open. NCL had made no announcements on our cruise that this was open.

The water was very cold here, but we were told that the pool will be heated in the future.

Can't go wrong with a burger. So, that's pretty good burger.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the new Great Life Lagoon to see the pool and splash pad.
Rent cabanas for a more private experience, but book early.
