The Brutal Truth: NCL Luna Review, 17 days on board

Is the Norwegian Luna a floating masterpiece or a $4,320 closet? I spent 17 days onboard the newest ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet to find out if the "Prima-Plus" class lives up to the hype or if it’s just a bigger version of the same "choke points." In this unfiltered Norwegian Luna review, I take you through my "Outhouse to Penthouse" experiment: 13 days in a 94 sq. ft. Solo Studio followed by 4 days of ultimate luxury in The Haven. I’m breaking down the math of "frictionless cruising," ranking all 8 specialty dining venues (from the heights of Le Bistro to the $50 "Nama Sushi" shock), and revealing the "mean ball" NCL throws at solo travelers. From the "Queue Olympics" at Guest Services to the Secret Service-level talent of the bartenders, this is the data-driven, witty, and honest feedback you need before booking your next 2026 cruise. In this video, we explore: ✅ The "Prima-Plus" design: What they fixed and what they didn't. ✅ The Solo Studio Experience: Survival tips for a windowless sanctuary. ✅ The Haven Life: Is the "ship-within-a-ship" worth the massive price jump? ✅ The Vibe Beach Club: Why it’s the best investment for solo cruisers. ✅ The Laundry Bag Scandal: The class divide you haven't heard about. 0:00 Intro 1:22 THE NCL RAPID FIRE 2:21 THE "FIAT PRICE FOR A FERRARI" 5:08 PRIMA-CLASS RAPID FIRE 6:09 THE SOLO STUDIO: LIVING IN A SHRUBBERY 7:13 RAPID FIRE: SOLO STUDIO LOUNGE 8:00 THE ENTERTAINING ENTERTAINMENT 9:16 THE QUEUE COMPETITION 10:15 HAVEN LIFE & THE "Kevlar" LAUNDRY BAG 12:12 RAPID FIRE: THE HAVEN 13:04 PRIVATE ISLAND & THE CHAMPAGNE VICTORY 13:50 THE BARTENDER TRIBUTE 14:42 THE VERDICT
