Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently was able to spend 14 days a backto-back cruise on this brand new cruise ship and I want to give you guys my review.

The fact that water is not included any drink package was just a big no for me.

The entertainment on board the Norwegian Aqua absolutely blew me away.

The overall ship was absolutely fantastic. It blew my expectations.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book reservations for shows in advance.
Consider the Starbucks package if you drink a lot of coffee.
Try the Indulge Food Hall for a casual dining experience.
Arrive early for shows to get better seating.
