Worst cruise we’ve been on by far for the following reasons:
- Booked a “club mini-suite” which was smaller than a standard room for some reason and had a metal wall on the balcony so we couldn’t see the water when seated. A vastly inferior room compared to a standard room at a cost of $1,000 more. Their justification was you get extra amenities like a bottle of cheap champagne (worthless with ...
We just got back from our weeklong cruise, so let me share with you what I think, so good and bad highlights were:
Good
- generally, the food. The Haven breakfast was nice to have and definitely more unique ingredients and higher quality of ingredients in the food. I enjoyed the French press, coffee, and the fresh squeezed orange juice. They ended up bringing the Sriracha from another Haven ...
This was my second cruise ever so I can't complain about the layout of the ship like everyone else. It was a little confusing to figure out where anything was but that added to the adventure I suppose. The ship was amazing, we were in Haven and it was certainly nice having a private bar, deck and pool. Staff was great, everyone was very professional and friendly. The events were entertaining. ...
I had never been on a cruise before so I figured let's go with Norwegian. I've been on four prior cruises (Carnival in April/1998, Disney in August/1998, Disney in May/2022, Royal Caribbean in May/2023). These four were definitely very good. Norwegian? Absolutely not. Let's cover the pros before I go into the extensive cons
PROS
-Beautiful, elegant ship.
-Delicious food, albeit there were ...
I just returned from a 7 day voyage on the Norwegian Prima. We did the Western Caribbean itinerary out of Galveston making stops at Costa Maya, Cozumel, Harvest Caye (Belize), and Roatan Bay (Honduras).
My overall review/rating for the ship, crew, cabin and entertainment are all A+. NCL has definitely stepped up their game with the Prima class and my wife and I could not have been more ...
Overall, I really enjoyed my second cruise with NCL. The main positives were:
- Excellent staff in Los Lobos
- Syd Normans Pour House - the Rumours show was excellent!
- Staff in the Hudson's main dining room were fabulous, never felt rushed and food was excellent
- Studio room was very well designed and solo lounge was great
- Great ports of call, with excellent excursions ...
I’ve been loyal to NCL for the past 9 years and have sailed most of the ships starting with the Epic and newer. I think NCL should fire the team who came up with this class of ship. What a waste. I’m in the middle of a sailing now. The shops are all closed for remodeling? Donna Summer cancelled for unknown reason. The only Premium entertainment show is The Price is Right? lol what? Food is ...
My top priorities in a cruise:
1) Good food/fast service
2) Nice non smoking casino
3) Nice spa
4) Great outdoor sitting areas to not be around a lot of people
5) Nice cabin and a ship with modern features that look like a spaceship
And that's why we LOVED the Prima. It knocks off all of those things in perfect fashion. But some people gave the Prima really bad reviews, and I ...
My family and I cruise quite a lot. We just got off the Prima. Usually my son loves the kids club but this time it was so hard to get in that we stopped trying. Instead of just being able to drop him off we have to sign into a queue and wait 30+ (after the doors opened) before we could get to the front of the line. It was ridiculous. On top of that it wasn't open while we were in port which ...
We are long time sailors of NCL since 2012 when we sailed the sky for our honeymoon. The Prima, don’t get me wrong is definitely by looks and amenities like comparing a Ford to a Mercedes Benz. Aesthetically the Prima is beautiful, bright, and can rub elbows with a celebrity ship. That being said sailing on the Escape before and the Sky before the Prima does have a few faults. Anyone who has ...
