If you like sitting in your cabin, the norwegian epic is the ship for you. There were so many people on the ship, we waited 20-30 for a drink at every bar, for anything other than the buffet there was an hour and a half wait from the moment they opened, we couldn’t get a seat on the pool deck, and couldn’t get into any shows (even showing up 45 minutes early). On sea days, it was almost impossible ...

This was my third cruise and first on Norwegian. I will never book this ship again and will be hesitant to use Norwegian in the future. The Good: Staff was friendly and attentive. The cabin was OK and we had no issues with an inside stateroom. Price was good and included unlimited booze (no top shelf), 150 minutes internet and one dining upgrade. Good bang for the buck. Decent Buffet. ...

I really, really wanted to like the Prima....despite the negative reviews. Unfortunately, most of them were spot-on. I may be slightly biased because of my sheer lack of sleep on board due to our cabin door being broken and unable to seal shut. Meaning I was alarmingly awakened four out of seven mornings around 7:00 when the LOUD announcements blasted me out of bed (there was a 1/4-inch gap in the ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 62nd voyage. Just over half of my sailings have been with NCL, however, I have sailed on other cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC and Carnival. This was my second cruise as a Diamond Latitudes member, which is NCL’s second highest Latitudes tier. This was my 8th voyage of the year and my 4th on ...

Food not so hot. Our last Norwegian cruise in 2019 had better food. Moderno was a major disappointment. Staff was over worked and underpaid. The NCL hired less employees making it a strain on the ones working. Felt sorry for the staff. Major long lines to embarkation. Why have a boarding time when it was a free for all to get on. We will need to explore other cruise line options. Staff was ...

Plan on standing in line for half your time to get a drink. This includes simple stuff, like a coke or Pepsi. Sure you can get water. Or ice tea. The staff is so limited and over worked. Absolutely do not bring kids there’s nothing for them other than the splash zone. I mean no kids channel either. Ok ya the shouldn’t watch tv but then WhT is there one? Every cafeteria serves exactly ...

We chose this cruise as we wanted to be on the ship to bring on the new year, the ports were all new to us so an opportunity to try new places. We boarded the cruise at Tampa, we were Haven guests so had a priority check in area, so we didn’t need to wait and we’re on the ship by 11.30am and taken for lunch in Cagney which was designated for Haven guests. However overall we were really ...

My wife and I just returned from the Norwegian Escape after taking a trip over New Years and her birthday. We really love to cruise. This was our first experience with Norwegian and for the record we have been on cruises with Holland America, Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We are comparing to everyone but MSC as we haven't been on their line yet. I perceived Norwegian as an upper ...

Will not cruise the Prima again. Possibly not Norwegian. Ship is cut up with way too many specialty restaurants that charge extra sitting vacant while the complementary restaurants are busting at the seems. (Clue to Norwegian - make about half of the specialties complementary!) The Haven segregates most of the aft from the regular fares and deck 8 is the only deck that can be circumnavigated ...

I can barely think of positive things to say about this boat and staff. We were at 105% capacity. They could not handle the people THEY overbooked. The food was sub par, they would close hot tubs and pools randomly, for seemingly no reason. You could not go anywhere on the ship without waiting in line for a long time, or being shoulder to shoulder crowded.2 hour+ wait time for meals. The staff was ...
