Review summary

Our cruise was disrupted by weather in the North Atlantic off Greenland. We were stranded at sea, but the Prima was as stable as you can get, a tribute to her design. The seas were rocking and rolling, as were we, but not bad. She was a good girl to be on! The Crew and Staff on NCL are always great. I'll be back.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was a breeze through NYC. I find it interesting that NY is actually very easy to cruise from.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food and dining are never an issue with NCL. The ship was busy, but there's always somewhere to eat and drink on this beautiful ship.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I honestly cannot speak to the race cars, pool, hot tubs, etc. as I did not partake. But those who did seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was the chilly North Atlantic btw.

Sparkling clean at all times. Beautiful design...a lot different from other NCL vessels. Lovely ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The Family Balcony is basically is a regular balcony cabin with added sleeping available. The cabins are so well-sized and appointed. The shower is FANTASTIC! Lovely cabin.

Ship tip

This is not the Encore, which dazzles you instantly. The Prima is a soft-spoken, elegant ship. This is not a "party" ship, although a great time will be had. This is my second voyage on the Prima, and I've grown quite fond of her.
