Extensive Ship Review - What the ship is and what it is not
"While the other pool areas of the ship were always packed, the VBC seemed like wasted space from our vantage point) There is no traditional casino bar, but there is the Penrose bar in the atrium area adjacent to the casino.Dump the go cart track and all the games and extend the pool deck and provide a true cruise ship experience for sun worshippers, pool loving people and the entertainment staff...."Read More

I apologize beforehand but this is a long review. I have found others’ input very helpful in planning our vacation and hope our experience can help someone else have a fun cruise on the Prima. My husband and I traveled alone from Maine (United States) March 12-19, 2023. We are both in our mid to late 30s, no kids and have been on 7 other cruises in the past. We have been on the Escape twice, ...

We loved this ship! It’s beautiful, the small spaces are awesome, the food was delicious (loved the local, indulge, Hudson’s, Le bistro), the kids club was loved by my 11 yo. NCL took all the tacky out of cruising (don’t worry the tacky art and casino are still there but the casino is OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!). It’s more like a fancy yacht. The loud pool still has your silly competitions and loud ...

For perspective, we're a young, active 61 year old couple and this was our 26th cruise (4th on NCL - Sun, Epic, Bliss). We've been to these same ports many times previously, so I'll just focus on our experience with the ship. Embarkation We had a 9:30am time embarkation time (time to show up at the cruise pier) and 9am would have been the earliest group. We were maybe 15th in line and they ...

Love the promenade and how spacious it is. It is conducive to spend lots of time outdoors. The stateroom was also spacious, especially the bathroom and shower. In general, this was a good cruise. As always, the staff, entertainment, and the food were great. Overall, this ship is different from other cruise ships in the NCL fleet. We have been on 15 out of 18 ships in the fleet. The inside ...

Beautiful ship, but misses some marks.

We always wanted to cruise on a brand new ship, so we booked the Prima for one of the first voyages. Embarkation was fast and easy as a Sapphire Latitudes level, but it was just as fast for everyone else. There were sufficient agents checking everyone in. Once on board we immediately headed to interactive screens to book some shows. Most of them were already filled and we were on board early. We ...

Returned from the 3rd - 12th Baltic trip on Prima. The few good things on this trip/ship. It is a nice ship some nice designs. The staterooms are very nice and their bathroom great. Some the main dining room, Hudson and Commodore nice décor. The other specialty dining areas probably were nice but not worth the $$ to attend. The food would have been cold there too!. Someone lack imagination in the ...
