Aqua 2025

By: Just Okay!


Reviewed on: 18 Jul 2025

Not that great! Most of my guests, as well as others on ship felt that many of the staff were very rude, almost discriminating and we made sure to let Norwegian aware of this concern. Cagney's was horrible, no one at our tables steak was properly prepared, the baked potatoes were over-microwaved and the Maitre' D was downright disrespectful. I cruised the Norwegian Jewel to Rome, Italy and it was nothing like this, so you can imagine my surprise. The pool was small and there were too many 'private/reserved' areas. Ultimately, I don't think I'll be sailing Norwegian anymore. As a matter of fact, we had a first-timer with us and although he enjoyed the cruise, he said that he'd prefer a different cruise line and I wholeheartedly agree with him!

NCL Aqua- Awesome Does not even describe the ship

The NCL Aqua is an amazing ship. There is so much to do on the ship and you never felt crowded either. I had a solo room on the cruise and it was designed so well. Definitely taking a cruise with NCL again.

A beautiful ship with problems

By: Matt


Reviewed on: 14 Sep 2025

The Norwegian Aqua is the newest NCL Ship with a great staff. However, other amenities are not living up to the hype. The NCL website does not work properly either off the ship or on the ship. They recommend that you make reservations for excursions, dining and other activities before boarding but the website will not let you. The dining experience was sub-par (even the specialty restaurants).

The ship was beautiful as were the accommodations in the Haven. The Haven dining room and experience was excellent, food delicious. The service and friendliness of the staff was excellent as well.

I enjoyed the cruise. Their entertainment venues are too small. The best part was the cabana in the Vibe. Would always do that. The food was only good at the specialty restaurants. The Hudson dining room was not good.
