The new Norwegian Aqua is set to sail in 2025 and will be the 3rd installment of the Prima Class
Norwegian opted to remove the racetrack and put in the first hybrid roller coaster slide. What that means, we'll soon find out. We're not convinced though. The race track was their saving grace for something cool on a ship. Now that it's gone and replaced by the Slide Coaster, will it save them? I don't think so especially if they charge to ride it. The question we ask is "Who is this cruise for?" We feel it is no longer a "family" type of ship. If they're going for luxury, then something like the Aqua Coaster isn't exactly one that screams luxury. It's just wasted space that could be used for something nicer. If the Virgin Voyages ships can do it without having slides, water parks, big sports courts or Laser Tag, then so can't the Aqua.
When I think of NCL Aqua, I think of nothing but water slides, water parks and so forth. Cool aquatic attractions. Lets see how this ship holds up to the rest of the fleet and other cruise lines,
