Have been on multiple cruises on different cruise lines, and they all have somethings we like and dislike. Didn’t feel this ship was designed to it’s potential. If you don’t want to use the drink package, the pool, watch a show, or workout then you should like the boat. Otherwise book a different boat.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Good luck trying to use your dining package! Book early if possible. Food was ok, dining room food was cold when it came. Did like the local, but Indulge was my favorite. Indulge could order from different places in the area from the kiosk on the table. Food was hot and the pesto gnocchi was excellent! After 2pm it was difficult to find anything to eat without a 30 minute or longer wait at local or hot dogs and hamburger at the back of surf side cafe… very limited menu! Everything else was closed…Now the Bar service… if you could find someone to wait on you at the pools you were lucky. Mostly a 30 minute wait for drinks at the pool area, and most other places to be honest. At the casino the pit boss had to finally get someone to bring drinks and again the wait was long.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The go carts cost $15 per person for 9 minutes, enjoyed them but make sure you schedule your time, they are usually booked a day in advance. Darts $20 for 50 minutes, felt that should be free. Putt putt was free and fun. How can you only have 1 pool for that many people? And poolside service was nonexistent… No walking track… The fitness center was very warm. They had what seemed like 50 treadmills, 5 ellipticals, 1 row machines. Very limited machines. The area for weights was so small someone could not be using a bench when you needed a dumbbell because it was so tight. Same issue with barbells. If you could get a bar bell there was no place to use it.. it was ridiculous for a ship this size.
Entertainment

Enjoyed the karaoke. Wasn’t impressed with The shows.everything was booked and was put on the waitlist.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Ship was clean. limited amount of staff for such a large ship.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Ship was beautiful and clean but layout was not thought out very well. I’ve already fussed about the fitness center. 1 pool, for all the non haven guests with 1 bar.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Clean and spacious. There is room underneath the bed for storage. Shower was a decent size. No issues
Ship tip
Pick a different ship. Book restaurant and shows beforehand cause you’re not getting much of anything once you’re on the ship.
Was on that NCL Prima cruise… had great time. We did our research and had no problems with dining or shows. I would suggest spending the money for Vibe, it was worth it if you can. We booked a cruise on her sister ship Viva.
