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 ...
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 ...
This was our third cruise with NCL. The first cruise was on a Breakaway Plus Class and I give that a 5 out of 5. The second was the Pearl and we give that a 4 out of 5 but this new flagship Prima class is sadly a 2 out of 5. This is a brochure ship that it looks fun for all with the flashy race track (that takes up so much of the upper decks that you don’t see much sun) the pay mini golf and darts ...
We chose the NCL Breakaway because we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and have sailed NCL many times before. It’s a beautiful ship but the venues are not capable of handling the number of passengers on board. The showroom is smaller than those on smaller ships and required reservations on the only floor show twice on two days during the week. The show BURN THE FLOOR was good but it was ...
This was my and my wife’s tenth cruise on NCL and was our favorite cruise line until this cruise. I started having reservations about this ship as well as the Prima after reading reviews. A lot of the complaints that people had didn’t really bother me, but I was concerned about some.
The good. We had balcony on deck 11, it was good. The housekeeper was excellent, never had to wait for room to ...
The cruise went to some great places and we did excursions , unusually for us , and on the whole they were good. NCL are noisy ships and we always get a spa pass as that is the only place inside you can sit to have a view out of the front of the boat. Entertainment is varied and some is good some less so, food is generally good. Seated drinks service is always patchy, do they have a lot of people ...
As others have said, lines, lines, and more lines. Want a drink - long line (average 20 minutes). Want to eat - good luck getting in any of the sit down restaurants - 45 minute wait the one time we went, 40 minute wait the second time. The app was about useless - not rhyme or reason to what you are "allowed to book" and what you aren't. You have to show up at least 30-40 minute before a show to ...
Our housekeeper, wait staff Rakeesh and Rama, waitress from LA Cucinda I believe she is from Panama very professional and Stephen, and our cruise director Jack awesome ppl. The groups and shows were fantastic. We shall cruise again on this cruise ship and its line. I would love to have seen more shows to attend, however overall we were pleased with most of all departments being courteous and ...
I highly recommend the escape for your next or very first cruise. I had my very first cruise on this ship and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jack the cruise director and his staff were super engaged with passengers which made going to different events very enjoyable. I recommend booking the Mexican cuisine workshop and tasting at Playa Mia in Cozumel it was my favorite excursion that I ...
Ignore the Negative...(with a few exceptions)
I know most people do not trouble themselves to go online and leave reviews unless they want to gripe about something. It's just the way it all works. Google. Yelp. All just places to complain.
I see reviews on here complaining about the most mundane things that I may go blind if I rolled my eyes any harder.
That being said, I wanted to ...
