Ship Built by Designers and Engineers, Beautiful, However it was not built for Cruisers

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

The Good: Brand New Beautiful Ship (5th revenue cruise I believe) Balcony Room was excellent in design and function Food was exceptional (I tried: Hudson, Indulge, Local, Le Bistro, Commodore, Cagney’s and Palomar) The not so good: Shops were not real shops - they were aisles alongside of halls in most cases Deck 8 (Infinity Pool, Ocean Boulevard...) issues include could not ...

Highly recommend the Prima when occupancy is about 2/3's or less

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

The bulk of the itinerary was to visit the Southern Caribbean. I have never been. I also have never been to Galveston, TX before. The idea of new destinations appealed to me. I booked the first week bookings became available. The marketing described the ship as more space per passenger and a lower crew to passenger ratio. Both statements were accurate for the most part. In an effort to ...

Great Concept….Missed the Mark

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

As Latitude Sapphire, I’ve been on a cruise or two…almost 200 nights on NCL. I was excited to experience the Prima on only its 5th voyage. The concept of “more space” for passengers is a great idea but poorly executed. 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. They’ve ...

Beautiful ship missed the mark

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Embarkation, pretty much same as any RCL cruise. Security, meet at counter person to person, review docs, picture, key card, proceed to board. Stateroom, 9388 balcony, room was beautiful and nicely decorated and designed, nice bed very comfortable, bathroom, largest ever seen in standard balcony. Outstanding shower, large for a cruise ship, 4 way adjustable shower head, burn your skin off ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We so looked forward to Prima. As massive NCL fans very loyal to the brand, we couldn't wait to get onboard. Our first impressions were..wow. the Penrose Atrium was so fresh and had that new car feeling. Our initial look over the ship was very positive. The stateroom (Balcony BC Cat) was beautiful, felt spacious and luxurious. The bathroom was also a delight. After our eleven night cruise we drew ...

The Prima- A Leaky Boat

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose The Prima for the ship. The itinerary was great, but, really we wanted the full Haven experience on The Prima. The Prima is a stunning ship. Elegance on each floor. Sadly, the Prima has issues. Day 1 - our carpet in our room was soaked, it squished as you walked between the bed and the bathroom. We reported this and we were told they took care of the issue. Day 2 - carpet soaked; ...

Quick Trip on a New Ship

Review for a Mexico - All Cruise on Norwegian Prima

LauraS
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This was a quick, four-day introduction to NCL's newest ship, Norwegian Prima. We left from the port of Galveston, having spent one night prior to the cruise at the Harbor House hotel. This was within walking distance to the ship; took us about 15 minutes dragging our luggage. It's a new ship, therefore, it had that "new ship smell", you know what I'm talking about right? New carpeting, ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Jade

Texaslady22
2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

We booked this cruise last-minute, and got 2 inside staterooms next to one another (not connecting) for my family of 5: 2 30-something adults and 3 children ages 3, 6, and 9. Cabins: They were adequate, but very small. Even with 2 rooms, it was a TIGHT fit. Our steward was efficient, and we didn't spend much time in our rooms anyway. Food: Food was good. The buffet had good food, and I liked ...

Worst cruise ever; avoid if you can!

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Jade

Lovesparkle
2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

I was very unhappy with the customer service provided on the Norwegian Jade. My boyfriend and I were treated very rudely by the staff on the ship. We spoke to a manager in Mandara Spa and I was asking questions regarding the thermo-spa package. She was busy reading a piece of paper and responded to my questions while looking at the paper. I continued to speak to her and waited to see if she would ...
