The worst cruise experience, in over 20 years and 30 cruises with many other lines, including NCL's older ships

This ships is the pits, if this is a new concept for NCL, then they have got it drastically WRONG. The cabins, food and beverages where fine, but the service in the restaurants and bars left a LOT to be desired. A lack of staff and poor IT systems just lead to frustration and delay, wrong orders, etc. Far to much commercial space such as shopping, casino, pay per use dining, VR studio, go cart ...

Dysfunctional, Very Poorly Designed Ship

This ship is badly designed. With full capacity of 3500 passengers there was extreme overcrowding in all the public spaces. The tiny buffet on the 17th deck was far smaller than those in ships with only 2000-2500 passengers. It was always a zoo: long lines, no where to sit. The main theatre was way too small. Instead of having two performances of a new show each evening in a large theater, ...

Recommend Norway, don’t recommend Norwegian Prima. This was our first cruise post covid and we were really looking forward to seeing Iceland, Norway, The Netherlands and Belgium on a 7 port / 10 day itinerary. In the end 2 ports were cancelled so we ended up with 4x sea days out of 10 days on a ship that didn’t have enough entertainment to keep the passengers entertained. Don’t book this ...

My family and I have gone to a lot of cruises growing up. We have tried Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. The Norwegian prima was the biggest disappointment. From badly cleaned staterooms to finding an insect in our food and then to top it off there’s not much to do - specially considering you have to book things within the first day cz otherwise everything is fully booked. If you’re ...

This is not just another review. This is a very well thought of explanation of why, no matter who you are, or what you do, and what you like, you should avoid spending a dime, and any of your time on an NCL cruise. We should have read the reviews. They voice the same things. And yet NCL carry on disappointing. I’ve attached the first review that comes up on google. First of all I have to ...

Prima is new and beautiful. And yet, NCL, managed to deliver one of the poorest cruising experiences I’ve had (I’ve done at least 20 cruises). The cruise has a lot of fun things to do, but if you want to do any of them, be ready to pay (everything is expensive) and make a reservation and then have that reservation canceled. 3 changes in itinerary. Worst breakfast buffet. Crowded and limited. ...

We are a couple in our 60s that originally chose this cruise as part of a group our travel agent organizes. We liked the itinerary and decided to do an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland afterwards. We utilized NCL flights because of their 2-for-1 airfare deal. We stayed in a balcony cabin on the 11th deck. When we booked this cruise, we also booked a Caribbean cruise on the Prima as a way ...

Our first port in Iceland was cancelled a few days before the cruise. We also paid for the haven, but had no separate check in or exit for ports like usual. The people not in the haven look extremely crowded and miserable. Food has been mediocre at best. We have tried most of the restaurants and have not been impressed once. Terrible for an active 15 year old. He will be 16 years old in a ...

We just returned from the 10-Day Iceland & Norway cruise. As with any cruise, there are positives and negatives. Unfortunately, the negatives exceeded the positives on this trip. Embarkation was awful. Waiting outside on a cold and windy day was not a pleasant experience. Getting through security took well over an hour. As we boarded we were given a paper which stated that 2 out of the 3 ports ...
