Great Concept….Missed the Mark
"As I currently sit at the main pool (real time review), the space is so small and so packed with people that it feels more like a low budget spring break experience.The theater is very small so don’t plan on getting to experience the shows...."Read More

The worst cruise experience, in over 20 years and 30 cruises with many other lines, including NCL's older ships

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

berni.bolt
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This ships is the pits, if this is a new concept for NCL, then they have got it drastically WRONG. The cabins, food and beverages where fine, but the service in the restaurants and bars left a LOT to be desired. A lack of staff and poor IT systems just lead to frustration and delay, wrong orders, etc. Far to much commercial space such as shopping, casino, pay per use dining, VR studio, go cart ...

Fantastic experience

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I am perplexed by the negative reviews. The Prima is a beautiful ship with outstanding service and wonderful itineraries. I wouldn’t change a thing about it with the possible exception of an additional entertainment. Be sure to book dinners at some of the specialty restaurants, as they are very good. The main dining rooms offer very good food as well. We enjoyed some of the little surprises we ...

Enjoy NCL overall, but Prima is not the ship for me

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

My review would actually be a 3.5. I wanted to love the Prima. At first glance, it's a really pretty ship, very different from the other NCL ships ( in the last 12 months, I've sailed on Jade, Breakaway and Joy). Contemporary, fresh and bright. Staterooms were nice, large and great storage. On paper had a lot of great venues, Waterfront, go-cart, drop slides. But unfortunately I won't ...

Prima curse

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I chose this cruise because of the itinerary however I was very disappointed with the ship and its crew. The solo cabin was not clean. Guest Services did not listen and only changed the time of the cleaning Fortunately I came across a Supervisor of housekeeping and she cleaned the cabin herself. The message is to identify all supervisors and complain early and often. The food frequently was ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Good news: 10 day cruise; Iceland, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium. Balcony on starboard mid ships, 10th deck. As one would expect - nice, clean, new. Bath was roomy for a cruise ship and the shower was LARGE. Water pressure barely ok. A/C fine. be fine. Don't expect big beside table on one side. Bed is a mite higher so large lugguge WILL fit underneath bed. If you are a magnet user (extra ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We took this 11-day cruise to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Our group had 25 people. This is our second time cruising on Prima and would be our last. - Embarkation: Very smooth. - Food: Buffet food was not that great. We got 8 specialty diners so we don't have to go to the buffet. Our favorite restaurants were Palomar, Cagney, and Onda. The Garden buffet was a disaster. ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this itinerary to see Norway and Iceland. The Haven is spectacular, and our butler June was amazing. The passengers and crew in the Haven are friendly. Our bartenders Jeferson and Pedro were friendly and fantastic. The Haven restaurant was very good but very limited entree choices and the same every day. Several design flaws in cabin- confusing lighting, no counter space at sink, no ...

Best Cruise Ever

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Prima

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

I took this cruise because of the great itinerary and fell in love with this new series of ships and have already booked on its sister ship the Viva. I read the reviews and they are mixed, but I found that if I got to eat early I avoided all of the lines etc. The Indulge Food Hall is a great new concept and there was not enough time on the 11 day cruise to try all the different foods from all ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We where a bit concerned after reading a few reviews about the cruise and the ship but all were unfounded . You cannot please some people. The whole cruise from start to finish was excellent, Boarding was seamless and the welcome onboard genuine and friendly. The ship was amazing and at no time did we feel crushed, all the specialty restaurants and the complimentary dining were on par with what ...
