Review summary

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main buffet area is too small on the Prima. Indulge Food Hall, which is a new addition to the class is very good - but does not alleviate the crowding at the buffet. This is only a problem if you prefer to eat at the buffet. Alternate complimentary dining venues are excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Thermal Spa is beautiful and a great option on a cold weather cruise! Observation deck is gorgeous - but crowded.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Prima: Broadway show- Summer (very good), The Price is Right Show (not what I am looking for on this level of cruise), vocalist (okay), instrumentalist (did not see). There was no comedy show or performance artist/s on this ship, as there has been on the last four NCL cruised I have taken, which was disappointing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The food service wait staff and stewards are TOP NOTCH. The level of service they provide across the ship is excellent. They are to be commended, their skill, service and demeanor made the cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship, stunning design. Staterooms are beautiful and spacious. Everything was spotless. I personally miss the atrium area that is on the Breakaway class because it creates a more communal experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Outstanding! Spacious, clean, well thought out design.
