Join us on a full video tour of the brand-new Norwegian Viva. Our comprehensive video tour leaves no corner unexplored including looking at the Haven Suite Area and the exclusive Vibe Beach Club.
However, our walkthrough doesn't stop at the surface. Brace yourself for a candid revelation as we delve into some of the Norwegian Viva's biggest problems and issues. We've uncovered surprising design flaws within certain venues that'll leave you astonished at NCL's oversight.
From the breathtaking atrium to the world-class dining options and entertainment venues, we'll showcase all that the Norwegian Viva has to offer. We also give our biggest tips if you are planning to sail on the NCL Viva.
We fully paid for this trip and won't shy away from discussing the issues that have come to light, we tell you what other bloggers and video creators won't!

I haven’t done a cruise in about 10 years but I can’t get over how much extra you have to pay for so many things. Non alcoholic beverages were always included (except Starbucks) and specialty restaurants were limited to one or 2 and I never felt the need to dine at one. All the extras make it so much more costly and I am not sure how I feel about it. And you guys, they are not “complimentary “ You paid for them!

Overall, it looks like an fabulous ship! To me, I find the venues small as “guests will have a lot of things in mind to do onboard their cruise,” but clearly some thing can be more popular to guests than others, causing areas to be packed. 10/10 ship tour. Keep making great content!
@mike07646
@mike07646 10 месяцев назад
It all depends on how they organize the performances themselves. If they have a comedian only performing a small handful of shows, then those places will be PACKED because everyone has a Fear Of Missing Out. If they have 3-4 shows each night on multiple nights of the cruise then it can help to mitigate things (assuming people only book one show each).
@karinbrantner3081
@karinbrantner3081 10 месяцев назад
I believe some areas may be smaller due to weight distribution such as on aircraft. This can effect ships also, too many people in one area can upset the weight and balance of any craft, in air or on sea...this may be way some popular venues are smaller capacity to ensure it is not overloaded, for weight limits. Just my opinion guys....of course, I could be totally wrong too.
@kakk00
@kakk00 10 месяцев назад
I’ve only cruised on Norwegian twice….The Breakaway and then Encore. And both of those ships also suffered from tiny comedy clubs and small pool areas. The Breakaway especially seemed crowded as all the venues were bursting at the seams and there was no place to get away. At least Encore greatly improved on that with the beautiful and huge observation lounge. It’s just strange that Norwegian is still doing the same thing now. Cutting down on deck space and pool area to make way for a speedway that many people only use once or never. And still building tiny bars and public spaces. So so strange.
@jturie
@jturie 10 месяцев назад
I was just on the Encore. Agree with you 100%. Big ship, but the "common" areas for the "common folk" (i.e. not the richies) doesn't cut it. Basically, decks 6,7,8 and parts of 15 and 16 are available. Club spaces can hold maybe 200 people and are impossible to get into unless you get in line 90 minutes ahead of time. Seems like the ship is built to milk passengers for extra $$$ all over the place.
@jimmaul
@jimmaul 10 месяцев назад
If you think about it, its not really that strange. Pool area makes no money. More shops and activities that cost money (race track) was their focus here. I love NCL and have been on 8 cruises so far, but this is disappointing to see.

Confirms our pledge to never go on a big ship again. They are pretty but non functional…just platforms to generate revenue. There are many venues but all too small to enjoy…perpetual lineups and crowds. We will stay with the older vessels, 2000-2800 pax range…they were designed and built to comfortably accommodate the number of passengers on board. We love your vlogs and eagerly wait for the new ones every week. You’re part of our family

We keep ourselves only to the “larger” Oceania ships (1200 pax), and the 930 on Viking ocean ships. We are trying our first Celebrity ship soon, but mostly plan to stick to their suite area, the Retreat. This ship is really a shame - all the space is taken up by money making shops, too many extra charge restaurants, and horrible entertainment venues. The pool area is a disaster! You would literally have to pay me to go on a cruise here.
@desteptul777
@desteptul777 10 месяцев назад
@@marias902 It is a matter of money, almost all the time. Big ships have usually lower prices. You compare premium-luxury cruises with mass cruises. Of course Viking and Oceania are better than NCL, but also the prices are 3-5 times lower on NCL compared with those 2 lines. Many people only afford to go on a cheap cruise, just because they don't have more money. A little consideration for less fortunate people will be greatly appreciated!

We sailed on aboard the MS Volendam to Alaska (max. 1,500 passengers). A beautiful ship. There weren't onboard attractions like you see on the larger ships which was fine. We were there to enjoy the views and the towns we stopped at along the way. Our cabins were exceptional and the cuisine aboard the ship was out of this world. (And we did not have to que in lines).

Hi guys, to answer your question, yes, we have been on the Prima! However, it was from Southampton to New York last September so, as you can imagine, most of the outside spaces could not be used. We are booked on the Viva for a 10-day cruise from Athens to Rome next May, so are excited to get some use of the sun loungers if possible. We thought the Indulge was great food-wise, but it was often difficult to get seating there (and, of course, we couldn't sit outside). There were lots of complaints about the size of the buffet and it was always very busy. We're glad to hear that they have opened up an overspill area - Norwegian obviously listened to the feedback! Nevertheless we thought that the food everywhere was wonderful. It was also difficult to get a spot in the Observation lounge - hopefully in May we'll be able to take advantage of it if more people are outside. I think it goes without saying that the crew on the Prima was just fantastic, and we expect the same for the Viva. Our next cruise will be Alaska-Hawaii on the Spirit at the end of this month and this is how we found you - we've watched all of your Hawaii-Alaska series, plus Dee and Jay's videos, and are are making our way through Steph's videos too. They have all been very helpful, thanks so much for all your hard work!

We sailed on the Prima over Christmas when it was new. Just like the Viva, visually it's nice and we loved the amount of glass. We spent a lot of time at the Whiskey Bar because of the glass views and service was much quicker there than any of the other bars. Unfortunately, the ship's venues were all too small and very crowded. There were times at Indulge where people stood next to your table waiting for someone to get done so they could immediately scoop it up. It was a bit creepy. Standing outside Sid Norman's club for 45 minutes to an hour early was no fun either, though the Fleetwood Mac tribute band was great. The band members agreed with us when we talked to them and said they should be playing in the main theater instead of that little firetrap of a club. The pool area upstairs was ridiculously small. Ridiculously. The Local Bar is nice, but there are times in the evening when it's so crowded that it's difficult to even walk through the hallway toward Indulge. One the flip side, Hudson's was a really nice dining venue and our cabin was one of the best we've ever had. Not sure if we'll sail these ships again, but if we do it will be at a very quiet time of year to try and avoid the crowding. The venues are just too small for so many people and it negatively affects the experience.

I love a light bright ship. Shows if it is clean. Not dark and dingy. Beautiful ship.

Amazing ship! We really need to book a cruise on that! Also need that Starbucks mug!!! We did enjoy the Prima, super spoiled with these new ships! 😂 Food Indulge Hall is definitely the best place to eat and totally agree, get there early for a table!!! Thanks for an amazing video! Can’t wait to see the rest of the ports!!! ❤❤❤

What I didn’t like about the Prima was the small venue. The Theatre was nice and big. The food was very good. The food on NCL is Very Good on its entire fleet. I hope to go on Viva during off season to avoid the crowd like I did with the Prima.

The space issues have been getting worse with each new ship class going back to the launch of the EPIC. NCL have devoted so much space to extra fee dining, albeit of a high quality, and their associated finish kitchens that there is little space for decent sized bars and lounges. Most of the shopping seems to be hallways with retail counters and display cases to hide the dead space from all the kitchens. These ships are beautifully decorated but woefully crowded, which is a shame really

The Atrium reminds me of the lobby of the new hospital just built in my city. Too sterile for me. Actually, the color scheme in the entire ship is a bit off for me. How about the shades of the sea (turquoise, aqua, sea foam green) being used for accents? Also, the deep, low backed, no armrest chairs should be thrown overboard. How does one get comfortable in those pink booths in Los Lobos? They don’t. And putting the race track right above the pool was just….dumb. I’ll pass on the Norwegian Viva.

Hi guys. Nice review. I was on PRIMA earlier this year. Yes, there are pros and cons. I had the best food of any cruise I'd ever been on. Entertainment was good too. Pool lacked and the go carts were a one and done. Norwegian will figure it out.

Thanks Ben and David. Great overview of the Viva. Would be interested to know your views comparing the Prima and Viva and if you feel they both have the same shortcomings as you described on the Viva. Will be sailing on Prima next summer, and looking forward to the new Norwegian ship class. Understand your note about the coffee in the Haven Lounge, but generally we find the Haven Suites have coffee machines in the suites, so enjoy coffee out on our own balcony. Thanks again and look forward to more on the Viva!
