Norwegian Spirit Had a $100,000,000 Upgrade - Worth It? | Emma Cruises

Editorial Summary

The creator returns to the Norwegian Spirit for an eleven day voyage to evaluate the impact of a massive one hundred million dollar upgrade. Having previously sailed on this vessel as a child, the creator examines how the extensive renovations have transformed the ship from a family oriented environment into one geared toward an adult experience. The review covers significant structural and aesthetic changes, including updated hull art, a redesigned main atrium with a massive television, and the removal of children's clubs in favor of adult lounges. The creator explores various dining options, noting the addition of the specialty restaurant Under by Scarpetta and the expansion of The Local bar. While some nostalgic areas like the Buccaneers water park have been replaced by the Spice H2O adult area, the creator finds that the updates to the observation lounge, bars, and cabins make the vessel feel like a much newer ship. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the investment was worthwhile, as the renovations successfully modernized the ship's atmosphere and amenities without losing its essential charm.
