I've been looking at the Viva for a cruise out of Galveston. I've seen good reviews, and not so good on You Tube. To us, we love the look of the ship, and taking in the pros and cons, I think we know what to expect, and will be booking this cruise with an open mind. We'll then form our own opinions. If we like it, we might sail the next one. If we don't then we'll find something else, but we've never had a bad cruise.
