MIAMI (WSVN) – There\u2019s a new cruise ship in town, and it is almost ready to set sail.<\/p>\n
Luna, Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s newest ship, welcomed people aboard for the very first time on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Luna is the 21st ship in the company\u2019s fleet. From April to October, she\u2019ll set sail from PortMiami to the Caribbean, with room for over 3,000 guests.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do a seven-day Caribbean cruise, it\u2019s out of Miami, and then we do have Dominican Republic,\u201d said Cruise Director Alvin Oliva. \u201cAfter that, we visit St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Island, and then Tortola, and then we spend days at sea, and of course the prime, a lot of people are looking forward to visiting Great Stirrup Cay, which is Norwegian\u2019s very own private island,\u201d <\/p>\n
On this voyage, there is plenty to do for the whole family \u2014 fom obstacle courses and games for the children, to a luxurious two-story spa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a bi-level waterfall right there; we offer a lot of different kinds of relaxation,\u201d said Oliva.<\/p>\n
At the Mandara Spa, guests can get hot stone and deep tissue massages, facials, body wraps and then lounge at the thermal suite, complete with relaxing steam rooms, saunas and heated loungers.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019re done relaxing, guests can enjoy a drink at the poolside bar.<\/p>\n
For those who are feeing adventurous, one of the highlights of the ship is its Aqua Slidecoaster. It\u2019s a water slide\/roller coaster hybrid, and Norweigan said it\u2019s the fastest and longest water slide at sea.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the best thing of my life, the best part of my day. It was amazing, 10 out of 10, I recommend,\u201d said Ely, who rode the coaster.<\/p>\n
People have traveled from all over to Miami to get on the new ship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love it. I\u2019s so clean, it\u2019s so chic, our room looks amazing,\u201d said Christina Guttuso.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited, we\u2019re ready to go,\u201d said Nick Mangiaracina.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a busy spring break, but well worth it for these cruisers.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo cruising. Even if you\u2019re from Minnesota like me, it\u2019s worthwhile,\u201d said Justin Sunbrig.<\/p>\n
The Luna\u2019s maiden seven-day voyage is scheduled to set sail out of PortMiami on April 4.<\/p>\n
