Creator's Key Takeaways
The Norwegian Aqua is Norwegian's attempt to polish the Primo class experience.
The solo lounge ended up being such a huge benefit and one of the highlights of my 7-day cruise.
The food at Indulge was on par with what you'd find at specialty restaurants.
The ship itself didn't wow me, and there are other cruise lines that fit my needs better, but my cruise experience on the Aqua was great.
