Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a seven day Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Aqua, a Prima Plus class ship. The journey begins at Port Canaveral and includes stops in Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, Tortola, and the NCL private island, Great Stirrup Cay. Throughout the voyage, the creators evaluate various onboard amenities, including the dining options at the Commodore room, Hudson's, and the Indulge Food Hall.

The creators ultimately describe the food quality as very good across most venues while noting that popular entertainment and dining locations often require arriving early to secure seating.

Creator's Key Takeaways
The food on board the Aqua was actually very good. I didn't have any complaints about any of the food we got in any of the restaurants or buffet area that we went and ate at.
The pool areas are free to use. All the lounge chairs are free to use. Um, it's actually a very nice, pleasant place to kind of spend the afternoon hanging out and maybe grabbing a drink ashore right here in the pool area.
I highly recommend going and seeing this show. I'm sorry I didn't get to do video, but I could at least get you something here.
We really enjoyed this excursion through the ship and we would recommend this to anybody to go spend a nice relaxing day somewhere in the British Virgin Islands.
