Review summary

Overall, I will never sail on the prima class ships. Service and the food was great. Like I said, previously the indulge food hall needs a holster, hostess regulating the table, and they need to sit at a table so that guests aren’t fighting over a table. The ship is disorganized. It’s very confusing to get from one point to another. It needs more elevators and the main pool area is too small.

Onboard Activities

There was not enough activities on the ship and many of times the cruise Director had to add or update the daily information.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Noise boys, and the Donna Summer show was awful. We walked out of the Donna Summer show because it was boring and number two the actors we’re having an off day

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

This was the most confusing ship in NCL history. The new design has you going up and down floors to get to the other side of the ship. You’re walking through cabins areas to get to the spa or the gym. Buffet is too small. Indulge needs more seating and more importantly needs some host to seat you at a table. Those tables need to be regulated and watched by staff so that guest don’t have to fight other guest for a table. Main pool area is too small and I feel like they sacrificed it to add the vibe which is additional cost. Overall, this was not my favorite ship and I will be skipping it and all the Prima Class ship from this point on.

@maer17 First of all, you don’t know me and don’t know what I did in preparation of this cruise. I have been on 10 cruises and 9 with NCL. I love NCL. I don’t like the Prima or the Prima Class Ships. This was my review of it and if you don’t like it then that’s on you. It’s my opinion. You have your opinion and I certainly respect that. To be outright nasty, just because you read something you didn’t like just shows what kind of person you are. I agree with one thing you said about “not seeing me on the ships you cruise on”. Sweetheart, I feel blessed that you won’t ever be on a cruise that I’m sailing on.
