Nice common areas on deck - appreciated the stage area in a central spot that was consistent with music and entertainment throughout sea days and in the afternoons as cruisers were returning to the ship.

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was our first time ever cruising, we picked this because one of friends were going and we wanted to start somewhere, we are definitely late to get on the bandwagon.. Let me start from when we landed.. Very well organized,we were picked up on time as soon as we landed, cleared all paperwork , embarkation was a cake walk.. no hassle at all..our rooms were ready , we packed one pair until ...

My wife and I and our adult son cruised on the Viva on the February 4th sailing in the Caribbean. My wife and I stayed in a forward facing small suite on deck 12 and my son stayed in the Studio section nearby. We all liked our rooms. They were very clean, well appointed with decent air conditioning and good showers (larger than we've had on previous cruises). The TVs were nice and large but I ...

I was looking for a cruise to celebrate a 20 year wedding anniversary. We did the 7 day cruise leaving Puerto Rico, going to British Virgin Islands, St. Marten, Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, US Virgin Islands. The Viva ship is new. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. We had a forward club balcony on the 10th floor. The bathroom was spacious. The room was quiet. No turn down service. ...

Room: I was in a solo cabin. Lots of space. Despite the lack of windows, did not feel closed off and claustrophobic. The bathroom especially the shower was amazing. Restaurants: Loved the Indulge food hall. Lots of ethnic food options, but open only limited hours. The buffet was a madhouse and food was very very very mediocre, No options for vegetarians, vegans. Items not labaled as ...

Our first time on prima class. We sailed in the Haven and really enjoyed the experience. There are some pros and cons with this ship class while sailing in the Haven. Below are specific to the Haven experience and complex Pros -The layout of the entire complex being in the aft of the ship creates the true ship within a ship experience -The layout of the public space is convenient and ...

Ncl has been our go to cruise line. We have tried others but usually prefer NCL. We are a couple in our 60’s, this was our 40th cruise We were traveling with another couple that had never been on NCL. Getting away from -19 temps in Nebraska Getting on the ship in San Juan was fast other than my husbands card didn’t work to board so he had to go back to get another. We boarded at 1:30 so our ...

My wife and I have taken 10 cruises in the last 19 years. This was our 3rd NCL cruise. We selected this one as we wanted to experience new-to-us Caribbean islands and St. Lucia in particular, as it’s described as Hawaiian-like (a favorite, albeit, far away destination). We were delighted by the idea of sailing on a new ship, and followed news about its construction and initial sailings in Europe. ...

There is nothing positive about the NCL Viva or the company. We've been on 15 previous cruises with Carnival, Holland America, Princess, Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean. The following are our opinions and experiences on the cruise that departed San Juan, PR on January 21st. This ship's public areas (dining venues, entertainment venues, etc.) are undersized based upon the number of guests it ...

Thing to know - NCL Viva

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

If you check out the NCL Viva tour videos on Youtube, you will get a far better grasp of how the ship is laid out than I can present here. However, let me offer a few tips: All cabins 9750 and lower are located right above the Viva theater that turns into a disco at night. If you can't sleep with thump-thump-thump until 12:30 in the AM, stay elsewhere. The cabin itself is very comfortable, ...

My husband and I always wanted to cruise on a newer ship and escape the brutal SD winter so we chose the Viva, Our NCL arranged flight was not great, We flew to Denver over 700 miles west just to fly back that far back to go to San Juan. The flight home through Atlanta made more sense. Our embarkation was fast and efficient. The balcony cabin was a dream. Large bathroom, lovely shower and ...
