First cruise with Norwegian. We’ve taken 3 others on Celebrity & Carnival. There were some good things about the cruise but many others that left us thinking it was just an average experience.
Tot seems to depend on what you want. For kids maybe a good ship. If you like many nicer dining experiences maybe a good choice. If you like the loud pool scene they offer that.
For us those aren’t ...
I booked this cruise about 5 months ago to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I bought it on a supposed “sale”. When things were done, the sale price was inflated by almost $ 1000. I bought a balcony cabin with the drinks package ( they then upcharge you on that to include tips - you have no option to decline that charge, so that pads the bill) and it does not cover all tips or taxes. They also threw ...
This was my seventh cruise and my fifth NCL cruise. We had a balcony room near the back of the boat on the 11th floor. The room was quiet and the room and balcony are exactly what I had expected of a newer large NCL or RCI ship,
I've always discounted reviews of others when they posted negative reviews of food. I'm not a particularly 'foodie' type person. I will clarify my thoughts by saying ...
The good: The ship is in great condition in all common areas. we had great weather once outside of Tampa. No issues with sailing. Disembarkation was quick we got off at 8:30 am without effort. I'm focusing review on food and entertainment since these are hot button issues currently.
The Bad: The food on this ships sailing was a C- in the buffet and the MDR. The overall vibe was that NCL ...
The cruise has a great variety of things to do and always keeps you well fed. There is a main dining hall that has included breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also ALOT of bars, restaurants and entertainment onboard. Writing this review it is important that i specify we had the "Free at sea package"
Pros-
- A LOT of places to eat and grab a drink
- Entertainment with good music ...
We chose this cruise because of our past experiences with Norwegian. In the past we have been extremely happy with the line. We were not Haven guests on this trip. We also had friends who cruised for the first time and were deciding if they would like this type of trip.
Overall the trip was average to below average WRT service,the room and bed, The cleanliness of the ship, casino prices, and ...
My family and I cruise quite a lot. We just got off the Prima. Usually my son loves the kids club but this time it was so hard to get in that we stopped trying. Instead of just being able to drop him off we have to sign into a queue and wait 30+ (after the doors opened) before we could get to the front of the line. It was ridiculous. On top of that it wasn't open while we were in port which ...
We are long time sailors of NCL since 2012 when we sailed the sky for our honeymoon. The Prima, don’t get me wrong is definitely by looks and amenities like comparing a Ford to a Mercedes Benz. Aesthetically the Prima is beautiful, bright, and can rub elbows with a celebrity ship. That being said sailing on the Escape before and the Sky before the Prima does have a few faults. Anyone who has ...
Booked a cruise with stops to Caribbean: Harvest Caye, Cozumel & Roatan. Liked the fact that this was a fairly new liner. I had bight expectations, but was disappointed. There is no luxury on Prima, it is indeed very minimalistic even down to the essentials store. I was hoping to find some t-shirts and goodies, and was left with zero options. They had a few shirts but sizing was for small ...
Went into this cruise excited but eyes wide open having read all the reviews here and on Reddit. This review is after having just sailed in a Haven 2Br with three kids aged 5, 8 and 10 so this is more specific to the Haven which we’ve stayed in on two other NCL ships.
The Pros:
- The ship is indeed beautiful and the Haven area is lovely, now situated aft with a pretty infinity pool and two ...
