Near perfect cruising experience

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Best staff of our 21 cruises. Innovative dining in Indulge food hall.

CONS

Pool too small

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was the most helpful and hospitable staff we’ve ever experienced on any of our cruises. We got to the ship early and we’re able to get on in a very quick manner. Of all the cruises we’ve ever been on our bags were delivered to our cabin faster than any of them. The specialty restaurants we used were excellent. The Japanese Hasuki Teppanyaki style restaurant was wonderful. I had the best scallops and shrimp I’ve ever had. My only criticism is that as the chefs are pretty much singing throughout the whole time it got kind of loud. I really like the indulge food hall. There are a number of cuisines one can order from here, including Indian and tapas and Asian noodles and barbecue. And there is more but you can sit at one table or one place in order anything from any of these venues on a tablet and it’s delivered quickly to your table. All in all, this was a fantastic cruise. I would definitely cruise the ship or any of it sister ships again.

Overall the layout of the ship is fantastic. There could have been a little more outdoor activities for younger kids. Aqua park is really mediocre compared to other ncl ships. Otherwise we had a great experience on the Viva.

PROS

Staff amazing

CONS

Only 1 small area for smoking

RECOMMENDED

No

You couldn’t have a cocktail and have a cigarette and sit down on a lounge chair. We were cramped in a little corner of the boat on the top floor, which had no elevator too. Being handicapped the stairs were a bit much.

DECEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Haven and staff there were very good.

CONS

Food very bland. Public spaces too small and couldn’t get into venues for entertainment unless you got there super early

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Haven menu is the same every day. You need to ask about the special rather than the wait staff automatically telling you. Indulge food hall fun option as well as the Local. Buffet way too small and insane especially for breakfast.

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful ship, comfortable cabin, staff are very attentive in restaurants, on deck, bars.

CONS

Mediocre food. No staff member available or with knowledge to provide information about going ashore without a shore excursion. Unorganized embarking, disembarking at ports.

RECOMMENDED

No

<div>I was extremely unhappy that no staff member could provide information about how to get to places if I wasn&#39;t taking an excursion. Noone could (or maybe would) even tell me that there were buses or trams right outside the port at places I chose to not use an excursion. Every other ship I&#39;ve ever been on, people could provide information how to get to places on your own, Excursions were sometimes not what was expected and didn&#39;t go where expected or spent very little time where expected.</div>

Viva Christmas Cruise

JANUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful ship, crew was amazing, cabin was perfect, shows are awesome, 80s night was super fun

CONS

some venues are too small for the capacity of the ship, open and close times for meals were a bit of a problem at times, music by DJ Jeph at the Club at night in the Viva Theater was extremely disappointing playing all Latino music and waving people away with more fun musical suggestions

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall a wonderful vacation!
