Same layout as the Prima & never had an issue with wait times at the main dining rooms.

1. Outdoor Areas: a. The best and most extensive outdoor lounging areas I have ever seen. I could always find a lounging location…and not just a sun chair, but a cool themed area that was extra comfortable. 2. Cabin Bathrooms: a. Viva’s cabin bathroom was the best laid out and most roomy that I have ever experienced on a ship. 3. Cleanliness and Ship Condition: a. Viva was truly shipshape! I know that it is a relatively new ship, but still, the level of cleanliness, on a ship that big, with that many people onboard, was notable. 4. Entertainment: a. The entertainment that we did see in Syd Norman’s Pour Bar was nothing short of OUTSTANDING!! (The venue was far too small for the talent on display) b. The 80’s show in the theater was fantastic. Top quality musical talent at both.

Norwegian Cruise Line should be called Never Cruise Line! Their VIVA ship is an acronym for Very Inferior Vessel Avoid? What a huge disappointment and WASTE of $8,000! NEVER, EVER, AGAIN! Nickel-and-Dime you every chance they could!

It’s a very big ship, spend a little time getting familiar with it!

If there is a show you want to see, sign up early. I wasn't able to see the one show I wanted to see because I waited too long.
