So happy to see graduated entry to the main pool. I wish more ships were that way.

We sailed on the Viva out of PR last year. I agree with other comments regarding the latest class of ships they are HORRIBLE! The only smart option is to book the Haven in order to not have to be in a postage stamp size main pool with 2000+ guests (it was wall to wall people in the pool) with very few guys getting out of it to use the bathroom * if you know what I mean. I dubbed it the "Pink eye pool" 🤮 In the Haven area I had the infinity edge pool all to myself on several occasions, plenty of super comfy lounge chairs. The live music venues and comedy club rooms had a very small occupancy, which seriously limited the ability to see the performances unless you arrived super early. Again the ship has capacity for almost 3000 guests? The main atrium is gone replaced with intimate compartmenized seating areas that muffled the music unless you sat in the area directly in front of the performers. The walkways were very compartmenized leaving you unknowingly strolling in to dead end areas that had you walking by staterooms to get to the other side. I jokingly called it the virtual escape room ship. Bottom line is the Italian design team who designed an intimate ship experience overlooked the fact that the ship holds 3000 guests!..... I'm so happy we booked the Haven, this part of the ship was only booked at about 1/2 the capacity and was our saving grace. I had a hard time leaving the area due to the over crowded intimate scenes the Italian designers dreamed up.... No thanks!!

I already booked this cruise 8 months ago for a bermuda cruise in August 2025, i booked a studio solo stateroom with my friend as my neighbor in the next room beside mine, i get my own studio lounge with my own bar, this was the best video i ever seen on the cruise thst hasn't been built yet, I'm exciting to try the new waterslide Rollercoaster, because i liked the drop slides on the NCL Breakaway, getaway, ....do you know for sure that the main pool is bigger than the NCL Prima??

Thanks! I don’t know for sure about the pool. It might end up being the same size, but the renderings did make it appear bigger this time around.

Been on Viva, and while it was an amazing ship, the three things that left me puzzles where the sizes of some entertainment venues, the odd design choices like the upper deck being restricted mostly to The Haven and the Go-kart track, and the general flow of the ship. It just felt kind of disconnected.

The Stadium, which included these activities on Prima and Viva, is returning on Aqua with new complimentary experiences, but those have not yet been detailed beyond the returning dry slide. Cheers!

I hope the decor isn’t the color that they’ve been showing online like with the suites in the Haven with that ugly mustard colored furniture and that green yuck. I’ll tell you what the Haven on the Bliss those suites like the two bedroom villa and that decor and everything was very plush very elegant, beautiful man y’all there’s nothing elegant looking about the Haven know that furniture in that plaid black and white OK that would make your eyes go crazy. I don’t know who makes the decisions on the decor stuff but just go back to what you did on the place even the restaurantI mean, you all yuck don’t have to worry about me going on any of those ships. I mean, why are they bringing back those ugly colors that yellows and olive green really yuck

It's a location-specific preview tour of the ship by deck plan and rendering, which are all that are available at the moment. Title revised some accordingly.
