Norwegian Prima Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Did not get off the ship in Halifax. Had the infinity pool to ourselves!

Prima is a beautiful new ship with lots of exciting and inventive activities and spaces to try. We loved the race track and many of the new venues like Indulge Food Hall. There's no lack of outdoor space and nooks to sit and relax. Some of the interior spaces are a bit smaller than usual, but the service and food was excellent and provided an overall amazing experience.

Wonderful cruise with a few glitches that couldn't be helped. The ship was designed for warm weather itineraries, which this wasn't, but overall, I can't complain.

we had a beautiful and peaceful cruise. The design and the new outdoor areas are a dream. finally something innovative and bright. I'm already looking forward to the next cruise with Prima... Viva

The 10-day Iceland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and England cruise on the Norwegian Prima. A great, family trip with my Mom, two sisters, and our spouses. The Prima is a great ship, but it isn't quite suited for a cold weather itinerary like this trip, The inside spaces are not big enough for everyone to be inside. The limitations of the ship did not take away from my enjoyment, though.

We medically disembarked on day 5 due to a broken leg. Currently on day 9 in a Norway hospital.

Overall, the ship was very beautiful and the solo cabin and lounge were well appointed and the coffee machine in the solo lounge was the best part (free lattes!). The itinerary was great and I can't wait to get back to Iceland. I enjoyed all the meal venues that I went to. I did not go to the buffet at all as I was able to utilize all the other venues. Even though it didn't affect my trip I did notice long lines to get into the smaller show venues and the sports areas and go carts weren't my interest so I didn't try to use those areas of the ship.

We just did the 11-day Iceland cruise on the Norwegian Prima. Family of four with upgrades and we spent over $20K+ for the entire vacation. This is NOT our first cruise, we have travelled Holland America, Royal, Carnival, etc. Additionally, I have travelled all over the world and successfully dealt with many cultures and ethnicities that work in the maritime industry (i.e., Philippines, Indonesian, etc.), so I was expecting a much different experience. We made the best of the time we had on our vacation. We will probably go with another cruise line in the future just because I am reading so many of the same issue from other people’s posts. So, this is not an isolated incident, there are true systemic problems with NCL which need to be addressed immediately.

Overall, we're very pleased with our experience and want to hold on to the happy memories but it's hard to ignore all the negative things and realistically I think it's better to point these out in a review.

It was our first time with NCL, and it was a very good experience. We appreciated the variety of free restaurant options and the quality of the destinations (even though we didn't choose any NCL excursions). The excursions offered by NCL are much too expensive compared to similar options on GetYourGuide. The cabin was good, and the ship was really enjoyable.

Loved the food, ship design, and wonderful staff. Really a fantastic experience all the way.

We will sail NCL again and even with lack of entertainment and ship design we had a great time

The itinerary for this cruise was top notch. The ports of call are all spectacular. This helped to overcome some of the shortcomings of the ship itself.

If you can afford it spring for the Vibe Beach Club.

HAVEN is the real deal. Worth every penny of the upgrade. The cruise was more than we expected and the scenery was unbelievably beautiful. The food and beverages were amazing. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend this cruise and ship.

It had a lot of peaks and valleys but truly more valleys. The wifi I paid for was awful and unreliable. I dined ever evening in Hudsons or the Commodore and the menu was boring, lacked variety, and overall quality was poor.

Ship was absolutely stunning with lots of smaller places. The buffet is a lot smaller than other ncl ships, but we never had a problem finding a seat. The indulge food hall was my favorite place as you have a variety of food truck options. Best speciality dinning was the Palomar restaurant.

Ok ship but won’t be doing that class again. The crew is top notch.

Amazing vacation, great cruise, wonderful experience

I’ll start by saying the crew was amazing, the haven outside bar staff was great as well as our butler, the only reason this is a 2 and not a 1. That being said, the cruise was nothing but disappointment. Starting with the food. The food was mediocre at best, I can cook better, and I expect a 5 star restraunt to cook better than me. Every steak I had was bland and / or over cooked. Even at the steak house, the rib eye was bland and chewy. Seafood was also bland and wasn’t fresh ( you would think on a cruise the seafood would be good). Every single day I was hoping for something tasty and it was just disappointment after disappointment. Ports… costa maya is a tourist trap if you want to goto the beach it’s a 40 min walk so your forced to pay minimum $60 to rent a golf cart. Belieze was nice. The 3rd stop I can’t tell you because we didn’t stop there because of wind, even though we heard through the grapevine that other ships docked there and another ship took our dock instead. So technically we paied their dock fees. The 4th stop was also such a tourist trap I can’t even remember the name. Soooo we only went to 1 beach the whole trip. The final straw for me was I was excited to do the go carts, and for some reason after the race my car didn’t register so I have no idea how I did. What is the point of racing if you don’t even know how you did? Last off, this is minor, but they only had 1 $10 minimum blackjack table and it was packed, forcing me to play higher limits. They should have 2-3 $10 min tables. I would definitely not recommend this cruise to anyone, especially for the cost. It felt like they would hype you up with excitement, and then rip it away from you with disappointment.
