The Prima is a beautiful ship with so much to offer. It is great choice for couples both young and old as well as families.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

There are so many dining locations to choose from it was hard to decide which ones to eat at. We were staying in the Haven and decided to take advantage of the restaurant there, which was wonderful. Great service and great food. We tried the French restaurant, Le Bistro, for dinner one night and really enjoyed that as well. The main dining room and buffets did not compare. While the options were plentiful and the food was tasty, many of the dishes weren't served quite hot enough. The Local Bar & Grill was a favorite for a late night snack!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

On board activities were plentiful and so much fun! We tried the go carts, pickle ball court, slides, and VR games in the Galaxy Pavilion. For something a little more laid back there is the spa and the pools. The outdoor areas are plentiful, beautifully decorated and so relaxing . There is definitely something for everyone on board the Prima. The only downside is that several of the activities have an additional cost to use them. This could get a bit pricey for large families, and go cart and spa reservations fill up quickly,

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were great! We saw the Donna Summer Musical and the Price Is Right. For the Price is Right, contestants were called from the audience just like on TV to compete against one another. There were some pretty funny moments. The cast was amazing and so talented. As an add-on to the Donna Summer Musical theme, the theater was converted to a night club one evening and the cast came out decked out in elaborate disco costumes and interacted with the guests. A good time was had by all with lots of laughs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We didn’t have a lot of interaction with staff but those we did were always helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is well-designed, beautiful and kept really clean. There are so many different places to roam. We were constantly finding areas we hadn’t been to yet and we wished we had more time to explore further. We especially loved all the outdoor spaces, each with its own vibe.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I’d give it more stars if I could! Our cabin was a 2-BR in the Haven. It was beautiful and had so much space and a larger balcony with a nice sitting area. In the late afternoon showers were only luke warm but I assume this was a ship-wide issue, probably due to how many people were using the water this time of day. I was lucky to have the opportunity to stay in the Haven. It is a really special place.
