7 Days On The World’s Newest $730 Million Cruise Ship | NCL Viva

Editorial Summary

The creator provides an in-depth review of the Norwegian Viva, a new Prima class cruise ship, following a nine-day Mediterranean sailing. The review covers various aspects of the experience, including cabin accommodations, dining, and onboard amenities. The creator notes that while the ship features beautiful aesthetics and modern designs, such as the Ocean Boulevard and the Indulge Food Hall, there are functional drawbacks. These include a confusing atrium layout, cramped comedy venues, and a relatively small pool area on the Lido deck. The creator also discusses the cost of the cruise, noting that while the ship is transitioning toward a premium category, passengers may feel they are being nickeled and dimed unless they purchase specific packages or upgrade to a Haven Suite. Dining is highlighted as a major strength, with the Indulge Food Hall and specialty restaurants receiving praise. However, the creator mentions issues with crowd management in nightclubs and the lack of certain production shows during the inaugural sailing. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the Norwegian Viva is a beautiful ship that still has some kinks to work out regarding flow and service consistency.
