Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never cruised Norwegian before and we get to do it on a brand new Aqua.

The check-in process wasn't too bad, guys. Maybe about 15 minutes and we were through security, through checkin.

It is very crowded in here today, which was expected on imbarcation day.

I must admit that it was not a great sellaway party, guys.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Complete your muster station drill early to get it out of the way.

✓Visit the buffet during off-peak hours if you want to avoid crowds.

✓Check out the Ocean Boulevard on deck 8 for great views and lounging areas.

✓Book the Vibe Beach Club for a more private and secluded experience.
