Review summary

The Viva is a lovely ship and very modern. The layout compared to other NCL ships might not be to everyone’s liking. For us the ship had everything we needed and provided plenty of great spaces to relax and enjoy ourselves.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We stayed in room 15181 (inside). The room is right below a staff elevator that is used to transport heavy goods from the ship storage to the buffet. We had 24 hours of loud noises, plates falling, cutlery banging for nearly 2 weeks. Other than this the ship is grand

Cabin / Stateroom

We stayed in room 15181 (inside). The room is right below a staff elevator that is used to transport heavy goods from the ship storage to the buffet. We had 24 hours of loud noises, plates falling, cutlery banging for nearly 2 weeks. Other than this the room was rather large for an inside cabin with plenty of storage.

Ship tip

Avoid the inside cabins mid-ship due to their proximity to staff lifts and poor insulation against loud noises. Overall the viva is a lovely ship and there are plenty of bars and restaurants throughout! Can highly recommend

The Norwegian Cruise Line stole money from me, and the guest services did not care to solve problems on the ship.

Not worth the money
