I want to start this review off by saying that we were incredibly happy with the service onboard. The crew always stopped to talk or say hi, and always made guests feel comfortable. Personally, my favorite part was our room Steward Iris. She was so kind and made sure to take care of us through the entire time of our vacation. She always stopped to talk or answer a question. The shows and ...
Boarding wasn't as easy as in the past, we got to the counter quickly but the person there was very confused. This annoyed the guys as they don't have my patience. She was obviously new as she did all our information multiple times, but was in the wrong screen each time, frustrating yes but she was trying very hard to get us on board.
We planned this trip since 2019 but covid hit and it was ...
We chose this cruise for my adult son. We haven't been on NCL since a disastrous cruise in 2008.
Embarkation was smooth. We were on the ship quickly. Headed to Summer Palace and had a very nice lunch while waiting for cabins to be open.
We were in cabin 101**, a handicapped accessible inside that was very nice. Our cabin steward was Jonathan. I thought I would like the once a day service ...
Before cruising, I read reviews and thought all the negative ones were overhyping the problems or just exaggerating for the sake of clicks and views. I should've listened, because this ship is just bad.
The largest issues boil down to crowding, hours, and weather:
Hours: Food is one of the biggest parts of a cruise from what I can tell, as you're just on the open ocean for over 50% of the ...
Chose this cruise for the destination. Have cruised 10+ times and several of those on Norwegian. This was the single worst cruise we have ever been on. The ship design is HORRIBLE, common space to passenger ratio is the smallest we have ever seen on any cruise ship.
Embarkation: had to wait hours in a common space where the volume of people well exceeded the amount of seating (this will be ...
My best friend of 55 years and I booked the Prima because we were excited about being on a brand new ship that left from NYC, especially since we love easy cruising. We were greatly disappointed!!
We embarked at 11:30 AM and began the search for seating in what became the perpetually crowded buffet!! We ended up in Indulge, which is a nice concept but which offers minimal choices in each ...
We traveled as a family of 3 with a teenager. The ship was beautiful and that was all that was positive about the ship. The layout and amenities and activities were severely lacking. There was only one small main pool that had 0 activities or entertainment, two hot tubs and two small infinity pools for a ship that holds over 3000 people. There were no planned activities for teenagers, you ...
I kept a journal during the cruise and highlighted all of the details of each day. Easiest way to share my experience! We chose Prima because it departed from New York City, which is close to our home. I traveled with my husband, John, and my daughters, Bev (15 years old) and Kyra (13 years old).

Woke up to a very rocky boat! Had room service, which arrived at 7 am (time zone change ...
My family and I recently embarked on a cruise aboard the Norwegian Prima, one of Norwegian Cruise Line's ships. While there were some aspects of the trip that we enjoyed, we ultimately cannot recommend this particular ship or cruise line. I'll break down the positives and negatives of our experience below.
Positives:
The Spa Therma Lounge was a highlight, featuring two warm pools, saunas, a ...
We are Platinum latitude members with NCL which means we been on a lot of their ships. This ships looks interesting and the concept of spreading people around sounds innovative but unfortunately they missed the boat.
The good:
1. Nice rooms
2. Beautiful new ship
3. Indulgence Hall (when ipads work)
4. Bermuda
The Bad:
1. Ship layout
2. All venues are too small, ...
