Creator's Key Takeaways
I think Coco Key is still my preference. I'm obviously I'm a little bit biased, but it is what it is.
I would love to go back on the ship because one of the things that I did not do a good job of, and I recognize this, is I didn't do a good job of taking advantage of some parts of the ship.
The number one negative is service. So, I didn't tell a story, and I'll try to keep it a quick story, but I reserved a bottled water package for my room before I got on the ship.
The food across the board almost the food was exceptional. Were there misses? Sure. Was everything incredible? No. But was it above par overall? Yes.

On the final episode of our cruise aboard the NCL Aqua we begin in Tortola and take a walk around the cruise port. Next we check out NCL's private island of Great Stirrup Cay and do some comparing to Royal's Perfect Day at Coco Cay. We end our series with a comprehensive review of the pros and cons of a last minute sailing, our thoughts of the ship, and our overall perspective of this cruise. We haven't really done a review like this before so I would love to hear if this is a welcome addition or if the traditional vlog style is preferred. As always, thanks for watching!
