Argirion Posted December 16, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I was on the Norwegian Viva sailing out of Athens last September. Loved the ship and the design concept of spreading the crowds on several decks rather than all concentrated on the 'Lido' deck. The food was a notch above my previous sailings on Norwegian. I'll be following in your footsteps (in your wake?) in a few weeks, sailing again on the Viva from San Juan. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olemissreb Posted December 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Doing this cruise in March '25, so looking forward to your posts about food and excursions. Did you get Vibe passes? Was it worth it for such a port intensive cruise (if you did)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 22, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Just off the ship I will post more information soon. Also Freestyle dallies. Best shore excursions IMHO Antigua Catamaran and lobster lunch and St Maarten horseback ride in the ocean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 22, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The Haven is a different experience than other Breakaway and Breakaway Plus classes. The meals are the same menu as other ships and quality as well as service is great. Bars close too early throughout the ship 11:30 is too early. Haven restaurant was never overcrowded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 23, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The horseback riding is at Seaside Nature Park though the ship photos by their photographer $40 per group we were 2 you can look at them before purchasing about a 1 hour ride. They have at least 20 horses take you in groups of about 8 or less. Several minutes in the ocean. The trails are rocky and go up and down and over 200 lbs they won’t let ride. There’s a pig peacocks chickens ducks and other fowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 23, 2023 Author #16 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I will post the dallies shortly don’t know if I will have time before Christmas any questions I will answer if I can We were on deck 15 port side aft noise from above from 6:30AM to 10:30PM every day, It did get quiet in the afternoon from 3 to maybe 6 but most days we were out so not sure. Beetlejuice was well done a little long though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did it cost on the ship? It is a $100 per person for a private ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 25, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted December 25, 2023 $119 each I believe that includes the bus ride to and from and the guarantee you’re back before they leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jmustang67 Posted December 26, 2023 Author #24 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) From the Meet and Mingle Sunday at Syd Norman’s. The ship’s officers were well represented Gingerbread House display in the Atrium In St. Lucia we did the Between the Pitons Catamaran and beach below is what we saw from a great distance. I don’t recommend this excursion Edited December 26, 2023 by Jmustang67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recommend this excursion This is really far away. We considered that a non-NCL excursion which offers transfer to sugar beach may be better; however, the seniors in my group do not want to spend time on the beach, so we also pick this excursion. I heard that when this excursion stopped on a beach for snorkelling, there are vendors pushing for selling things. What was your experience please? Were you able to see the Pirates of the Caribbean scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
