NCL AQUA BETS BIG on THESE CHANGES

In April 2024 NCL's newest ship hit a major milestone; at the same time big changes to onboard venues and dining offerings were announced. Given all the complaints about Prima and Viva, will these changes help NCL get it right with Aqua? I'll run down everything you need to know before Aqua joins the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet in Spring 2025.

Recently completed a Caribbean cruise on Prima and although I LOVED the modern decor, some of the venues were just plain awful, mostly because of their size. Don't even get me started on the main pool deck of which most of the upper deck space was taken up by the go-kart track which felt like it was suspended over top of you. The main buffet was so tiny and cramped that they had to open Food Republic just to provide enough seating and most of the great food options that we enjoyed on the Bliss, were now moved to the Indulge Food Hall so what remained in the buffet what quite limited and basic, Syds, and Improv also suffered from their poorly planned, tiny size. A redo of Commodore and some bars isn't not going to change what was wrong, unfortunately so I'l avoid Prima Class ships at all costs on the future and stick with breakaway / plus which gets it right.

Agreed !

[@JMyers-lg7eq]

I love NCL so I'm looking forward to this ship

[@imacrayzcritter]

I’m booked for Aqua in September of 2025. I’m looking forward to trying the Thai and sushi on board, Indulge, and a solo oceanview cabin. I deliberately chose Bermuda because I have been before and just plan to get off the ship to see pink sand and try a Bermuda afternoon tea and then spend the rest of the cruise enjoying the beautiful ship.

Love to try the vegetarian/ veggie restaurant option. Glad they are extending some venues. Hope they make the pool area and music and Sid Norman venues larger.

[@amandaronco1842]

I love the idea of a food hall!! It is hard to please everyones palate/diet when you travel as a family or group. Being able to eat together, but from different places would be cool!

[@TinaBiebe]

I’m booked to go on the Aqua with a group in January 2026. I’m glad to hear they have listened to many of the complaints regarding the Prima and Viva but I guess we’ll see. I am curious about the Thai restaurant as that’s a cuisine I love, but the plant based one…Meh. Maybe on a lark? I wonder how well it WILL go over. Oh well. Looking forward to sailing on her. 😊

I’m booked on Aqua in August 25 and Viva April 25. We are always open to new ideas and love cruising on NCL. I say let’s not judge a book by its cover!!! It took a bit to get use to the new concept when we cruised Prima in 23 !!!!

[@tomparry4523]

I also booked that cruise for a 5 day bermuda cruise in August 2025, I booked a solo studio stateroom, my friends studio stateroom is beside mine,

[@cruisefraterpoultons]

Great video and lots of interesting information, Thankyou 👏🛳️ Love the exterior decorations

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi cruisefraterpoultons 👋 Thank you so much, it always means so much particularly when other creators like your stuff! 🫶 I agree, she's shaping up to be a very beautiful ship, I really can't wait to see her in person. Do you have any cruises lined up?

[@cruisefraterpoultons]

@@CruisewithGrant Our pleasure 😍 We know how much work goes into creating videos, we are just starting our KZbin journey and trying to find our style but it’s hard work 😂 We think your channel is fantastic, lots of great content 🫶 We haven’t got anything booked as yet, life’s got in the way a bit this year, hopefully by September we should be able to go away again 😂 Do you have any trips planned?

[@Wild1995]

Yay a new Aqua video. I'm booked in Feb 2026 so I love everything I can see about Aqua

[@leeannkleine6120]

Hello my cruising friend! While I'm not currently booked on the Aqua yet, I am excited to watch her develop and grow as the newest member of the fleet. As a long time subscriber, I always look forward to updates from you. I am intrigued by the idea of a plant based option, as it allows you to try something a bit out of your comfort zone and still be generally good for you. Lots of sunshine smiles from the west coast! 🌞🌞

[@jeannel7255]

Looking forward to the Aqua hopefully in October. Big NCL fan & the ship looks beautiful. Hope all is enjoying the cruising experience!

[@BowtiesRFancy]

I have a cruise booked for Aqua in May 2025! We are sooo excited. The renderings of the ship looked amazing and the images of the actual ship have me super excited! It looks stunning!

[@CruisewithGrant]

Hi Mike 👋 That's very exciting, you'll be one of the first to experience this beaut! I'm really looking forward to getting to see her myself. Can you believe that I haven't actually had the chance to see any of the prima class ships in person just yet. Yikes! That's something I have to fix. Where will you be visiting on your cruise?

[@Eezirb]

I really like some of these announced changes. It will be interesting to see how they play out as well as whether or not this will improve the stock price.

[@leighmchenry9118]

We are booked on Aqua in May 2025.

[@rollievancleave7753]

I’m booked for November 2025 (solo suite). Hoping for a Moderno Brazilian steakhouse. Cagney’s steakhouse is always my specialty dining credit.

[@tomparry4523]

I booked that cruise in For August 2025 a bermuda cruise, I booked a studio solo stateroom, and my friend booked a solo studio stateroom right beside mine, if you go, than I can give you a tour of the studio stateroom and the studio lounge that only solo guest have access,

[@darrellamy166]

Just returned from a Alaskan cruise on the Sun. Great time and food the heads were out dated but worked great. Our only complaint was the smoking in the casino. It drifted into the antrum. I hate the smell and it just isn't healthy for the folks that work in it or customers. They are great other than that.

[@lennysails7823]

What about expanding Rick the our house and dueling pianos?

[@JosetteFowlkes]

will there be a humidor?

[@icedteamama176]

Will Aqua go to Alaska at some point in the next couple years?

[@nmraidernation.6092]

We DIDNT CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN TO EAT GRASS!!!😡 Well I can appreciate this but an entire place for plants squished together and look like a burger.....please...JUST EAT THE BURGER!!! Having never set foot on a NCL ship I love the freestyle concept and will find out this November during Thanksgiving.... So....
