Review summary

Was expecting the worst from all the other reviews that I had read for a few months. Had the most magnificent time on this ship. The most we ever had to wait in line for a meal was 10 minutes. When you go out for dinner to a rest you wait much longer. I never saw any shortage of staff. They didn’t look miserable like they disliked their jobs. Couldn’t find a seat at one bar another had a seat. Never waited to be served at any bar. By the way the ship was a capacity. Loved this ship. Might do the return transatlantic in November

Thanks for sharing. I'm on the Prima in 2024. I've read other reviews as well. I keep them in the back of my mind but go on a cruise with the plan to sit back and relax! I'm also looking forward to this one because it's my first with Norwegian.

I agree with you. We loved the Prima. It is a beautiful ship and everyone we encountered was amazing. I will agree with the comment about the Indulge needing to have more seats though. Glad you enjoyed your cruise

Thanks for sharing, happy you had such a good experience on this ship. I've sailed on her and she is a beautiful ship. My experience wasn't as glowing as yours but still it was a okay cruise. I will probably sail her again at some point.

Being on the same cruise I agree with your overall review. More inside seating for The Indulge would have been helpful on this cruise. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Other reviews of this sailing

The ship is far too crowded by design. NCL took all of the mega ship features and crammed them in a smaller ship.

Transatlantic to Iceland

A real disappointment
