I loved my 11-night cruise (Oct. 31 - Nov. 11) on the Norwegian Prima. I usually cruise with Celebrity but I think the Prima out-Celebrities Celebrity. While the Prima venues are all small relative to the passenger capacity of the ship, if the ship is less than 75% full then with a few exceptions, it’s not a problem.

PRO’s:

Beautiful finishes and furnishings. Much more understated and sophisticated than what Norwegian normally goes for.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Was in 13152 on Deck 13, port side.

PROS: Very well located balcony cabin. It is very near the elevator but I never heard noise from around the elevator.

I hardly felt any motion in this cabin but the whole ship sails remarkably smoothly.

Has absolutely no balcony viewing obstructions.

Has more electrical outlets than I normally encounter plus a hard-wired hair dryer that worked well.

CONS: It has a connecting door to adjacent cabin 13154 (a Family Balcony (Class B4) cabin). Having that door meant I could easily hear muffled TV audio.

I could faintly hear toilets flushing on higher decks at night.

There is no night light in the bathroom or dimming option for the main light.

Not enough closet and drawer space for two people.

In this class of cabin, Norwegian provides liquid soap and shampoo dispensers but no bars of soap, skin lotion, or hair conditioner.
