Norwegian Viva Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We love the travel and food and pool time along with good entertainment. This ship has a terrible layout. They nickel and dime you every change they get. All venues are too small. No chocolate to be found anywhere. The stores are lacking big time. The worst part of all is that 4 nights of entertainment was Beetle Juice that was sold out before we got on the ship! Other entertainment options were severely lacking and overcrowded and then they even cancelled Beetlejuice! They need to make sure ALL passengers can see a show. Don't sell tickets b4 people board. This was our worst cruise ever by far, and we have cruised a lot.

Overall had a great time. The ports were beautiful, but St Lucia was a favorite. Viva was a beautiful very clean ship. Need more entertainment, larger venues to accommodate ship size. More pool. Love the varied seating areas on ship.

I would highly recommend this cruise as it has no sea-days. It was a joy to be at a different port each day. Yes, you are extremely tired by the end of the cruise, but oh so thankful for the wonderful memories at each port.

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

We have been on Seabourn and Regent Seas and the Haven experience was just as good, if not better. I'm ruined for life!

Not sure I would go on the Viva again. While it is a beautifully decorated ship it is lacking in a lot of areas overall. The shopping was nil to none and when you could shop it was only in the late evenings. This seems so odd to me. Not enough fun shops, just mostly the jewerly and watch ones. Couldn't get food 24/7. Buffet was small and although the other complimentary ones were decent with the views and such they just didn't offer a lot of choices either. If you are solo then the solo lounge was amazing. I wore out the espresso machine in there.

IMO the Viva is not built to accommodate all the passengers. As the itineraries are a port everyday, any change resulting in a sea day would be overly crowded. The ability to navigate the layout of the ship is challenging and illogical. Venues are small, especially the buffet. Staff is fantastic.

Overall had a good time, service was excellent, specialty dining as always were good. Entertainment started off good but finished weak. Pizza was not very good, which was disappointing as well as no late night options

Viva new concept for layout, but too small of areas for qty of people on board that exceeded area capacities. Who wants to wait an hour in a line to get into a small club?

We enjoyed the ship and our trip. Hope cruise can offer better onboard activities and entertainment options. They need to use their theater as there is no atrium on the ship

Overall Norwegian Viva is a beautiful ship. The rooms truly felt like hotel rooms. However, the constant long lines at the buffet were a major disappointment.

Beautiful ship. Modern design. Spacious cabin and bathroom. Entertainment was great. Lots to do and see. Staff and customer service were great. Mandera spa was great and relaxing. Enjoyed a 1 day pass. Food in main dining room is hit or miss. Would definitely cruise this ship again.

Wonderful cruise. Great entertainment, especially appreciated the afternoon entertainment on two of the sea days. Beautiful ship, great entertainment, super friendly staff, and very comfortable balcony cabin.

The Viva was larger than most ships we cruise on. Our first time in the Haven more than made up for the overall size of the ship. We felt like we were on a private y

It was a wonderful cruise and just what I needed. Eating shopping and I stayed in the thermal spa. Spectacular

Overall it was very good. The only bad experience I had was after debarkation on the shore excursion that took us to the Venice Airport. The bus parking lot is far from the terminal and there a few but totally useless Norwegian employees to assist with questions and/or directions. In addition, there were a number of older travelers that had to lug their luggage from the bus parking lot all he way to the terminal with no help from anyone. At least, a few baggage carts should have been provided for these individuals.

Beautiful Ship. Ship was not offering shared tables which is a great way to meet fellow passengers Great wifi . Unfortunately since we were on tours 9-4 each day unable to relax or enjoy the ships amenities.

Our cruise went exceptionally fine and was fine with a lot of different activities that happened during our breakfast/lunch/dinner. A word of great thanks to Sharmila Bardelas (waitress) who assisted my wife twice with orange juice, pieces of ham & cheese to suffice her hunger due to low sugar. Francisco at the indulge for our comfort and fast service of our food and Paulo at Hudson's for quick in taking care of our orders and delivery of our orders, a lot of good people working around the ship and too hard to mention all their names. Everything that we needed was greatly taken care of. Nice to cruise NCL. Our status have changed to Diamond after this cruise.

All was Great. Will be Back in the Near future. All Tours were Great and had lots of Fun Great Tour Guides and Bus Drivers. Lots of information on all Tours very knowledgable Guides made it Interesting. Easy to make Excursions Times.
