Norwegian Cruise Line

Have you ever wondered what it is like to work as a performer onboard a cruise ship?

Alysia Vastardis is currently contracted onboard Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Cruise Line's brand-new Prima Class ship that launched August 2023, as an ensemble performer. 

Norwegian Cruise Line suites are unlike standard hotel suites in that they tend to come with quite a few perks that are meant to help elevate your cruising experience. Not only are these cabins more spacious than your standard staterooms, but the upgraded amenities and additional space help to make your cruise more luxurious.  

Depending on what ship you are sailing on, you can expect suites to come in a few different sizes and layouts. If you want the best of the best, you'll want to narrow your search to the cruise line's newest ships. 

One angry dad is taking to TikTok to share his recent experience onboard Norwegian Bliss while taking a dream cruise to Alaska with his wife and two children. 

The TikTok user, Moonie, criticized Norwegian Cruse Line for charging hundreds of dollars for extra onboard their cruise ships, such as internet access and Starbucks coffee, even for suite guests. He claims these onboard extras are a total scam for the prices being charged.

Are you looking to plan your next cruise vacation but having some trouble picking between Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line? Maybe you are not sure exactly which major cruise line would be right for you are your travel party, or perhaps you are just interested in the differences between these two great cruise lines! 

Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the biggest names in the cruise line industry. Norwegian specializes in bringing revolutionary and innovative new amenities and activities found on their ships, and many cruisers come back time again and again for all they offer onboard.

When it comes to cruising it is very likely that most itineraries will have at least one day exclusively spent at sea. 

For those who are new to cruising, what does this mean? Sea days are an entire day spent sailing, you guessed it, at sea. This means that your cruise ship will not dock at a port, and there will be no shore destinations visited on this particular day. 

In 2022, Norwegian launched Norwegian Prima, the namesake Prima Class ship. They had not released a new class of ship since the Breakaway Class in 2013. 

The second Prima Class ship, Norwegian Viva, expands on the exciting amenities that the cruise line added to its repertoire. 

Here's everything you need to know about NCL Viva, from the launch date to the itineraries offered during her maiden season, onboard amenities, and more. 

My most recent cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line was a solo adventure onboard the largest ship in the fleet: Norwegian Encore. This trip was the longest amount of time that I have ever been gone while traveling completely by myself. 

I was both anxious and excited to see what cruising solo would be like. 

If you are here, congratulations! Most likely you have either decided to sail with the Norwegian Bliss, or you are considering a voyage with the Norwegian Bliss. Either way, there are some things that you should know when it comes to this large Norwegian Cruise Line ship.
