I already booked this cruise 8 months ago for a bermuda cruise in August 2025, i booked a studio solo stateroom with my friend as my neighbor in the next room beside mine, i get my own studio lounge with my own bar, this was the best video i ever seen on the cruise thst hasn't been built yet, I'm exciting to try the new waterslide Rollercoaster, because i liked the drop slides on the NCL Breakaway, getaway, ....do you know for sure that the main pool is bigger than the NCL Prima??
We sailed on the Viva out of PR last year. I agree with other comments regarding the latest class of ships they are HORRIBLE! The only smart option is to book the Haven in order to not have to be in a postage stamp size main pool with 2000+ guests (it was wall to wall people in the pool) with very few guys getting out of it to use the bathroom * if you know what I mean. I dubbed it the "Pink eye pool" 🤮 In the Haven area I had the infinity edge pool all to myself on several occasions, plenty of super comfy lounge chairs. The live music venues and comedy club rooms had a very small occupancy, which seriously limited the ability to see the performances unless you arrived super early. Again the ship has capacity for almost 3000 guests? The main atrium is gone replaced with intimate compartmenized seating areas that muffled the music unless you sat in the area directly in front of the performers. The walkways were very compartmenized leaving you unknowingly strolling in to dead end areas that had you walking by staterooms to get to the other side. I jokingly called it the virtual escape room ship. Bottom line is the Italian design team who designed an intimate ship experience overlooked the fact that the ship holds 3000 guests!..... I'm so happy we booked the Haven, this part of the ship was only booked at about 1/2 the capacity and was our saving grace. I had a hard time leaving the area due to the over crowded intimate scenes the Italian designers dreamed up.... No thanks!!
Does this travel agency consider cruise member status when helping book? Also, how is this travel service free? Genuinely curious. We love Norwegian and haven't been on any of the new ships yet but are considering possibly booking for 2026.
You’ll have your cruise status recognized when you book with any travel agency. The service is free because the cruise line pays a commission to agents. You’re paying the same price to the cruise line either way, but when you work with an agent you have a specific person to answer all your questions instead of having to contact the cruise line. And sometimes you can get extra perks from booking through an agent, so it’s a win-win for travelers. Fairy Godmother Travel can book NCL cruises! -Heidi
Been on Viva, and while it was an amazing ship, the three things that left me puzzles where the sizes of some entertainment venues, the odd design choices like the upper deck being restricted mostly to The Haven and the Go-kart track, and the general flow of the ship. It just felt kind of disconnected.
The Stadium, which included these activities on Prima and Viva, is returning on Aqua with new complimentary experiences, but those have not yet been detailed beyond the returning dry slide. Cheers!
@@chronicillz1879 there’s not a perfect cruiseline. It all depends on the priority of your vacation. I do love NCL, but there is a lack of pools. Sometimes I don’t miss it but if you’re expecting to be in the pool or jacuzzis, then NCL might not be for you. Royal is better on the pool/jacuzzi department, but the food is more basic…
I hope the decor isn’t the color that they’ve been showing online like with the suites in the Haven with that ugly mustard colored furniture and that green yuck. I’ll tell you what the Haven on the Bliss those suites like the two bedroom villa and that decor and everything was very plush very elegant, beautiful man y’all there’s nothing elegant looking about the Haven know that furniture in that plaid black and white OK that would make your eyes go crazy. I don’t know who makes the decisions on the decor stuff but just go back to what you did on the place even the restaurantI mean, you all yuck don’t have to worry about me going on any of those ships. I mean, why are they bringing back those ugly colors that yellows and olive green really yuck

@@jerettblaskey4946 I'm aware of that.... Headlines are "New Cruise ship tour" Implying that the person was able to get on the ship and record a tour of it.
It's a location-specific preview tour of the ship by deck plan and rendering, which are all that are available at the moment. Title revised some accordingly.
So happy to see graduated entry to the main pool. I wish more ships were that way.

Thanks! I don’t know for sure about the pool. It might end up being the same size, but the renderings did make it appear bigger this time around.

Tiny embarrassing main pool deck.
Is the mini-golf and darts area returning?

😊🎉
I still don’t like NCL lack of pools…
Which is better?
Which cruise lines/ships are better?
@@chronicillz1879 when it comes to pools Royal does better

Just not a fan of this class of ship.
The breakaway breakaway plus fleets are so much better
Interesting… hmm…
Bring the kids and ruin everybody's vacation. Parents don't control there kids these days.
Lame there’s no go karts

Huge thumbs down on this video..... No tour at all.
It hasn’t been built yet.
