Ship tip

The Prima is not one of their bigger ships and designed completely different than any cruise ship I've been on. I was aware of all the negatives before my sailing. I chose it because it was new and different. I had a spa balcony and access to the vibe club. The thermal sit is very nice and large, plenty of heated chairs and spread out nicely. I've never purchased the vibe pass but so glad I did this time even though it is almost $500 foot two. So worth it, friendly staff, also laid out very nicely and the views are amazing. Ate at both main dining rooms, food and service were good. Indulge food hall once, quick service but I'm not much of a foodie for different types of food. Cagney's and Onda were excellent. The buffet was what we expected. Shows were great and comedy was funny. We couldn't get on the race track, it was booked, but in last day we went up there and asked if they had any openings and they took us right away! That was a blast! The wave slide was fun too. Checked I the infinity pools, those were kind of neat. All in all, you cannot compare this ship to other ships. I've sailed on alot of NCL ships and the Encore is my favorite. I would sail this one again if it was in Miami. I was disappointed in the rudeness of the customers and their constant complaints. This is a beautiful, unique ship and it may not be for everyone.

Looking forward to sailing Prima in January...hopefully all the complainers will not be on our cruise

So glad to read a positive review! We’re booked on Prima for January and I was beginning to worry! Unfortunately, we were looking forward to Vibe but it’s all booked up for this sailing, we’ll try to snag a day pass when we get on board. Great tip on the race track, we’ll definitely still swing by if it’s booked!

Thanks, I was interested to see your review as I know you’ve been on a lot of NCL ships and wanted to see how this compares. Glad you enjoyed, and it’s useful to know going in that we shouldn’t expect the typical NCL. I’m actually quite excited about the things that make this ship different, so going into it with an open mind! I’ve also been toying with buying the vibe passes but we’re in Bermuda for 3 of our 7 days so not sure it’d be worth it, sounds great though.

I've got to give it a try at least once.... why would Encore be your favorite? Seems like Bliss and Joy would be better because of spice h20.
