This was our first time ever cruising, we picked this because one of friends were going and we wanted to start somewhere, we are definitely late to get on the bandwagon..
Let me start from when we landed..
Very well organized,we were picked up on time as soon as we landed, cleared all paperwork , embarkation was a cake walk.. no hassle at all..our rooms were ready , we packed one pair until ...
My husband and I cruise often with NCL. This was our second time on the Escape. It was my sister and brother-in-law's first cruise on NCL. They were impressed with the ship, staff, and overall activities.
My sister and I have Celiac disease and must be on a gluten-free diet. As always, I requested a gluten-free diet. I never had a problem until this cruise. At the Cruise Critic Meet and Greet, ...
This is our 4th Norwegian cruise and my husband and I have cruised 30+ times. We decided to take another Norwegian cruise, after the past two years of not so great of an experience on Carnival. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and had a lovely time.
*Food was delicious and expertly prepared; including on the buffet. Food on our past two cruises with Carnival was truly terrible / some inedible ...
First time on Prima. Pretty ship, light and airy. Cabins very nice. Continue to maintain that people make the ship and NCL people are the best. Some of concepts smaller which makes it harder to gain reservation. Los Lobos great. Plenty of exciting things to do on sea days and truly getting on and off ship in all ports extremely easy. This trip there were no tenders so that was even better. ...
Room: I was in a solo cabin. Lots of space. Despite the lack of windows, did not feel closed off and claustrophobic. The bathroom especially the shower was amazing.
Restaurants: Loved the Indulge food hall. Lots of ethnic food options, but open only limited hours. The buffet was a madhouse and food was very very very mediocre, No options for vegetarians, vegans. Items not labaled as ...
We just got back from a 7 day Carribean cruise that left from Galveston. Definitely take a taxi to the port - would have never found out how to get there on our own. We did the park and cruise package with Holiday Inn Superdome. Taxi was $15 to the port.
Since this was our first cruise we can't compare to other lines or cruises. The boarding process seemed efficient to me. Once on board it ...
We chose this cruise as we wanted to see Bermuda. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn’t dock there which is understandable but as it appears to be a regular issue NCL should warn you beforehand.
We were fortunate to have a Haven cabin and with a separate lounge and bedroom it was fantastic. Very well appointed with lots of room and loads of storage. The bed was fantastic - so comfortable ...
We had a fantastic cruise on the Prima. It all comes down to traveling with reasonable expectations. The ship is large and it hosts a lot of people. So, on sea days most places are busier than usual. However, we never had issues finding quiet corners. We also never had any issues getting food. There are many complementary food options. My personal favorite place for all meals was The Local. The ...
We have sailed on other cruise lines and so this was our first NCL Cruise. The ship overall is good. We were surprised that it was so nice. I believe that it was in the dry dock recently for two weeks for a quick refurb. Getting on the ship was quick. We arrived early at the port for an 11:30 check-in and were eating in the cafe by 11:20. Our rooms were ready by noon. Fastest I have ever ...
Our first time on prima class. We sailed in the Haven and really enjoyed the experience. There are some pros and cons with this ship class while sailing in the Haven. Below are specific to the Haven experience and complex
Pros
-The layout of the entire complex being in the aft of the ship creates the true ship within a ship experience
-The layout of the public space is convenient and ...
