Review summary

Although our embarkation and disembarkation was a terrible experience, we had a fantastic time. We rate them as our second favorite in all our cruises for best free food options. The food was excellent. Service was great. The shows outstanding. The talents that they are able to recruit and the productions that they put together is what keeps me sailing on NCL. (Also the food). Price is right is a must attend. They did such a good job with the set and it was a great crowd pleaser. Perhaps my most memorable game that I ever watched on a ship.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Beautiful ship but layout is not practical. Venues much too small. I have never experienced the kind crowding issues that this ship had on any other ship. Day 1 at the buffet was a horror show. The club was beyond crowded. The disembarkation and embarkation was unbelievable.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Beautiful room

Ship tip

Just because you are unable to prebook a show doesn’t mean that you can’t still attend. They offer a waitlist. On our sailing everyone got in

Disembarkation

The worst I have ever experienced in my lifetime of cruising!!!!waited on a never ending line for over an hour. Never experienced such a mess like that before or after…..even after over 15 cruises.

Thanks for the review it seems that Prima class had been struggling lately due to small venues and overcrowded I just hope with Norwegian Aqua they just solve those issues

Beautiful Ship But Some Misses

Beautiful ship but very small pool and deck area as well as small venues making limited seated available all over
