We had a great time. I will say that this NCL cruise was significantly more than RC or Carnival that we have booked for this year on comparable ships. I did not find it better than Royal and for the price difference, probably will not cruise with NCL again, unless the price is right!

Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The go carts were alot a fun. We didn't care for the mini golf. The pool was very small, but we used the infinity pool on deck 8, which was really nice.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Donna Summer Show was excellent. Loved the Price is Right (I made it into the final showcase). Bingo was fun.

Most employees were excellent. We did not meet our room stewarded until day 4 which was a little different.

Awesome shower! The room was clean and comfy.
Ship tip
Get your reservations early. If you can't get in, join the virtual que two hours before showtime.
There is so much to do here. We have actually been here about 12 times and done a different excursion each time. This time we did the Salsa and Salsa excursion which was so much fun. Plenty of margaritas to go around.
We love Grand Cayman. Done so many excursions here and the swimming with stingrays and snorkeling is the best. This time we took a taxi to 7 mile beach and spent a few hours snorkeling.
Always get accosted in Jamaica. There is alot of pressure from the locals to buy, it borders on harrassment. We only shopped a short while and went back to the ship.
We parked across the street and payed the high fee to do so, that way we could get out and home quickly. The ship was docked at a different terminal and we have to bused with all of our suitcases along with hundreds of other people. This took an additional hour. If I knew this ahead I would have parked off site, save lots of money and time.
Prima is more expensive than the other NCL ships. We find NCL is normally less expensive than Royal for the same itinerary. Especially with the included drink package and specialty dining.
Glad you had a good trip. We are looking forward to cruising on the Prima this summer.
