Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on this thing for 5 days and there certainly is a lot to show you.

This is the newest cruise ship for Norwegian Cruise Line. It is in the Prima class, but this ship is 10% bigger than the Prima and the Viva.

I think they've done a good job with that here on Aqua.

I was impressed. I certainly was impressed.
