About this episode

This episode reviews the Norwegian Luna cruise ship and compares it to Royal Caribbean.

Norwegian Luna is one of the most stunning new ships at sea—but is it enough to take down Royal Caribbean? Fresh off the first public sailing, we’re breaking down our full experience onboard NCL’s newest ship—from embarkation and ship design to dining, entertainment, and The Haven. But the real question:👉 When you compare it head-to-head with Royal Caribbean… who actually comes out on top? In this episode, we cover: First impressions and embarkation (and where it falls short) Solo cabins vs suite life in The Haven Specialty dining vs main dining—and why it didn’t feel so “special” Entertainment differences between NCL and Royal Ship layout, flow, and overall design Where Norwegian Luna shines—and where Royal still dominates Plus, we share honest onboard reactions from Megan and Lisa to round out the conversation. If you’re trying to decide between Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean for your next cruise, this is the real-world comparison you’ve been waiting for.
