Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Prima

My top priorities in a cruise: 1) Good food/fast service 2) Nice non smoking casino 3) Nice spa 4) Great outdoor sitting areas to not be around a lot of people 5) Nice cabin and a ship with modern features that look like a spaceship And that's why we LOVED the Prima. It knocks off all of those things in perfect fashion. But some people gave the Prima really bad reviews, and I ...

Great new ship

I don't understand why this ship gets such bad reviews. It's definitely different than other NCL ships, but that isn't a bad thing. The amount of outdoor space is wonderful, and I do think that helps to spread people out as long as the weather is nice. We had some rain, which did force people inside, but it was really only bad on embarkation day before the rooms were ready. Our cabin was gorgeous, ...

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 ...

So I booked this cruise prior to reading all the comments on here about the ship and how terrible it was. Thank goodness I went and tried it out for myself. Are there some negatives, yes, but overall it is a great ship with a lot of outdoor spaces where you can get away from the 3000+ passengers and feel like you are on a boat to yourself. The Negative: Sid Normans and the Improv are small ...

My wife and I enjoyed our 11 day NCL cruise on the Jade very much. The food was excellent as was the entertainment. Every evening we went to the Stardust Theater and enjoyed a variety of entertainment from a comedian, singers, Blazing Boots Show, acrobatics, even the hypnotist was fun. We enjoyed the gym every day. The equipment was nice with plenty of room to work out as we choose. We had ...

After reading other reviews I was very nervous and now that we have returned I am happy to report the ship is wonderful. Rooms are spacious. Embarking and disembarking were both super easy. Food was the best I have had on a cruise. Service was amazing. The main dining room had 5 or more different daily features and appetizers changed daily. Food republic was amazing. Great sushi and Korean ...

We choose this cruise for the departure port and ports of call. We have taken 20+ cruises on multiple lines in the past. But, only one previous cruise on Norwegian which was not enjoyable. This was our return review of the line. Prior to sailing we reviewed the posting for this line and departure port. Most were not very complimentary but we gave them a chance anyway. 1. Departure ...

This was our first cruise and NCL has made us return customers. I had read some of the reviews on this site prior to sailing and was a little concerned! After our 7 days, there was absolutely nothing bad enough that would keep us from coming back. The highs: the staff, the activities for kids (ours are 2 & 4), the rooms, the cleanliness, the constant cleaning, the food, the itinerary, ship ...

Obviously I was worried after reading so many negative reviews. I am happy to say we were pleased with the Prima. The ship is absolutely beautiful and modern. The staff was always professional, friendly, and attentive. The food was good everywhere we went. We ate at two specialty restaurants, Le Bistro and Palomar. Both were excellent. Our ocean cabin was spacious. Probably the largest cabin ...
