Review summary

It was a good cruise but I think I would have liked at least 1 sea day The Viva is a excellent ship but Norwegian missed the mark on a few things on the making of the ship. I would recommend it

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smoothest I've experienced - 15 minutes from start to being on board

Ship experiences

While there was a tremendous amount of outdoor space it felt poorly laid out

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Suited us to a T! Was really well maintained by the steward!

Ship tip

Book yas many things as early as possible as they fill up and have very little flexibility to accomodate after

Castries, St. Lucia

Everyone commented that the island felt like Hawaii. Touch the Pitons excursion was really good

Thumbs Up 0

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Probably the best excursion ever - the America's Cup Regatta was fun, intense and the hardest work I've done on an excursion and I can't wait to do it again
