NCL is becoming more expensive than Royal Caribbean (cruise fare wise). Yes, they are charging wayy to much, charging for darts tells you that the company reached a point of no return since I can't go on NCL without thinking I'm gonna get charged for breathing.

Some venues are “intimate.” Lots to do. 😜 Want colors? Sail with Carnival. I’d love to sail on the Viva around the Mediterranean. ⚓️🌴

I found the décor refreshing on the Prima as compared to my Carnival sailings. Comparing the Prima with my previous Norwegian sailing, I didn’t find any differences from the sailing I had on the Encore. Darts and mini golf were not activities that I was drawn to, so the up charge for them wasn’t relevant for me.I loved the observation area on the Prima, and didn’t find it crowded at any time I was there for my afternoon cocktail.

I took the Prima Dec 3rd from Miami with my daughter and her husband. I booked a solo cabin but offered $300 total to upgrade to a double cabin with window and got it. so being alone in the larger cabin was sweet. We all liked the Prima. Single complaint was the woefully few shows in the main theatre. Ridiculously few. Crazy few. Astonishingly few. Every night should have a show and occasionally two. I have sailed on NCL about 8 times. Would travel on Prime again but hope they increase the shows.

In the first half of this video - you tell people their opinion of the decor is wrong, you defend the choices on the ship by telling people they should have boarded first to get reservations, and they should be budgeting for the all the upcharges. This isn't good. Then you bury some big complaints at the end. I haven't been on the ship, but the layout looks strenuously difficult, and the wifi service you discuss sounds like an actual scam. People are allowed to dislike the decor, there should be enough entertainment on board for every PAYING customer, and (IMO) the proportion of paid activities on the Prima is off balance. For me, it sounds like the Prima doesn't live up to the rest of NCL, and they need a rethink.

We love Prima. It is kind of a way to do an Adults Only without making it Adults Only. So many families with kids sailed at Christmas on Prima and the kids were miserable. As a parent, the first thing I look at is the activities on board. I would never pick Prima for a family with kids cruise. But as an empty nester now, I would love it.

NCL is taking monetization to a whole new level for cruises. Last cruised with them in December 2021 and won't be cruising with them any time soon. Beautiful ship the Bliss is. But, too many upcharges venues and activities, resulting in included venues tend to be small (like the club shown in this vid). The value for our money just isn't there with NCL.

i was on the 2nd sailing for prima and got on the ship by 12:30 and there were no reservations left for the theatre shows. i found talking to a lot of people that many that first got on the ship booked every single slot for every shingle show, even if they were not going and some people booked for more than one person. So i disagree with your comment that it is no issue to get a reservation as long as you book it early. Also you did not cover the spa. the lounge in the spa had this annoying thumping noise while trying to relax. this noise was from the fitness centre directly above. you could hear them running on the treadmills. it was like this every day . for these 2 reasons i would not ever book this ship unless they got rid of all reservations and made it first come first attend to the shows. and move the fitness centre to remove the unwanted noise in the spa. the remainder of the ship was nice and your review was accurate

We are booked on NCL Prima for a 11 day Transatlantic from Spain to NYC , in 2023. We have done 4 NCL since 2015 Breakaway x 2. Encore . and Joy. 3 x as Haven guests 1 time as Spa suite guests. Prima is booked Haven Aft Penthouse suite . One thing I learned was it is either Haven or dont go. • Haven guests have reserved show seating. • Haven guests have priority boarding and disembarking. • Haven guests dont have to wrestle or get up at 6 am to get a deck chair. • Haven guests get a ship phone to call their butler 24 / 7 for service no matter where they are on the ship. • Haven guests on Breakaway class ships can use service elevators when in port. No waiting or crowded elevators. • The Haven has its own resturant / bar. • There are enough lounge seats for every Haven guests and the butlers will set them up with umbrellas when requested. • IfI choose to enjoy the main areas of the ship we can, if we wish to get out of the crowd we retreat to the Haven pool / Sun deck / hot tubs. • The Haven Cosigneries desk makes all excursions, dining. and on board activities reservation upon request. • I see the Prima has a bank of elevators for Haven Guests only. Diffrent from Breakaway class. • This is kind of creepy but the Butler and Consigniers know where you are on the ship and will just show up and ask if they can do anything for you. Maybe they track the ship cell phone .. I dont know but i think it is creepy. I KNOW IT IS EXPENSIVE to go as a Haven Guest . But imo worth it . We skip a vacation , save up and then really enjoy. Im excited about my first trans Atlantic voyage. Thank you for the video n

Got off of the prima recently and i think it sucks. You use the word "intimate" a lot and thats fair, but it goes from intimate to simply just crowded when all 3000 people are trying to do something out of their rooms. Even on port days. The Prima sucks and NCL needs to have a realization that this is a SHIP, not simply a HOTEL.

We are back from our cruise on the NCL Prima. I now understand all the comments about the spaces on the ship. We were able to adapt fine to the smaller atrium; it was new and interesting! I don’t like the very small venues of Sydney Norman’s and the Improv. There just isn’t enough room for the number of people who want to be there to see the shows. I would like to see those bigger with lots more seating! The theater was one of our favorites of all the ships we’ve cruise in. Plenty of seating and we liked the way it can be converted to a night club. We only went for theater shows though. Finally, the buffet was ridiculously crowded! We ate there off and on but really preferred Indulgence and The Local. Again I really appreciated your video in preparing for the trip!

I am booked on the PRIMA for northern Europe this summer and I'm concerned with how easy it would be for me to access breakfast before early morning excursions when there is a lack of adequate seating in the buffet and other eateries. I hate feeling crowded and seen other videos with Atrium and other areas that are too small. Trying to decide if this cruise is worth it as I want to see Iceland and Norway, the main draw for booking this.

NCL made some great improvements with the new Prima Haven by relocating the entire complex to the aft of the ship and making it larger with it's own elevators. However, there's no excuse for making major venues like the buffet and Syd Norman's smaller. So many NCL passengers have been giving the feedback to make Syd's larger or just have the show in the theater and NCL just doesn't listen. The buffet is a joke, many people cruise for the casual feel and variety of a good buffet.

Oh boy. I wouldn’t call Prima’s design “neutral” in any way whatsoever. Id moreso call it “new spaceship-heavy”. While I always appreciate a fresh new ship, this Doesn’t remind me of a water-going vessel. Not much of a nautical feel to the atrium. As much as people complain of gaudyness and tackyness on other cruise lines, this ship seems like they were trying to do way too much distract us from the fact that we are in fact on a great big boat on the water; and I’m not sure why. Just my opinion.
@Matsern83
@Matsern83 Год назад
The venues are soooo small on the ship, and what adds to it, is that NCL forgot to innovate their schedule, when they innovated the ship - so most nights there would be 1 or 2 things on each evening, meaning that anyone wanting entertainment would flock to said small venues. If there had been 4-5 options, it would have naturally spread out the crowd. In terms of Wifi, yes. Its shit, and its fleet wide. Its okay in off peak hours though, but worth the price? Hardly, unless you absolutely need it for work or something. I also felt you defended NCL a bit too much in the beginning of this video. This ship is a failure. no doubt. I spent 32 days on her, and everyone I talked to prefer Breakaway (+) above the Prima including the crew. I do however agree on the decor - It is to my liking. Its by far the most beautiful ship NCL has, but what does that do when the ship is not functional/practical?

Through the years, cruising has drastically changed. One benefit of cruises that was different then other types of vacations was that you had everything paid for before cruising. You could actually unwind. After COVID, having to pay for extras, reserving activities, and waiting on activities does not lend to unwinding. It feels like you're on land. We understand things have had to make changes and that their are more cruisers than before. This means a restart for our vacations by seeking other types of vacations that meet our needs and help us feel we are not on vacation in NY. In my opinion, Prima did not improve the overall appeal of cruising. This will be the 1st time I've used my cancelation insurance.

I guess to get people used to utilizing the ocean boulevard. I agree they should make Hudson’s and the other MDR different menus and keep them the same nightly. Wife and I love the decor.

Great review! I do think NCL is steering away (no pun intended) from families. This ship has barely any attractions for kids, but there's also a bigger trend: the Guppies not offering any dop-off anymore and Splash Academy drop-off being offered only on cruise-days, plus many laser-tags for other ships are being discontinued in September, I think NCL is leaving the family market to RC, Disney and maybe MSC. Even Princess with the Discovery at Sea seems more interested in catering to families now!

People complain the MDR's menu selection doesn't change, and in the same breath extol the virtues of specialty dining venues that never change over the whole cruise line. Make it make sense.

Just got off the Prima. Really disappointing. Venues way too small. Too many people standing room or you couldn't get in at all. Limited live music starts late and ends early. Terrible buffet, although Hudsons was good. Specialty dining was not special. Internet was difficult. Staff was nice but that is all. Going back to Carnival and RCL. Cruised over 25 times.

I just recently cruised on an Alaskan cruise on the Encore. It was a nice ship! My main complaint is also the decor. The deco is much to modern. Im not saying it looks bad but it doesn’t look good in a ship. The ship lacks nautilus/mariner theming. I want that experience. After all, I’m on a ship.

Going to Syd Norman’s every night made me forget all the stuff I didn’t like about the Prima. It was a hoot seeing the same people every night and I found the high energy performers absolutely endearing, especially the 80’s prom night. I found selections in the Indulge food hall was like the “Garden buffet all-stars” that got promoted to their own venue, like the Indian food that I’m a huge fan of on other NCL ships. I really wish the Prima had a proper pub (I initially thought Syd Norman’s was a pub, but they only serve alcohol during performances, which I thought was an oddly restrictive use of space onboard)

We were on the ship that left from NYC and disembarked in Galveston TX Oct 15th through October 27th celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. We are NCL platinum members, although we cruise on other lines we prefer NCL. It was indeed a beautiful ship but we did not find it inviting and cozy especially in the small atrium. Too much lighting and not enough seating areas between the 6, 7 and 8 (in the immediate atrium area). We thought the local was a pretty good place to eat if you wanted something fast, although even in the included restaurants they were quick in getting food out. Cagney's didn't disappoint us as usual. Surprisingly the buffet up on deck 17 wasn't that crowded but that's probably because it's October and the ship only had 2100 passengers. Also seemed like the elevators were mostly empty and easy to get one quickly. The simulation rides on deck 17 I thought were so so, graphics seemed like old technology. The race track was pretty good. Just a short review, to us it wasn't a must get on this ship again. We like the Breakaway class, even the smaller ships like the Gem are still very good ships. The Joy, Bliss and the Escape are just as good if not better in different ways. We'll be on the Getaway in February 2023. My 2 cents.

Are you telling me that it IS STILL MISSING? I cut my leg on that and will spare the details. So from now until then it still hasn’t been fixed? That is what is wrong with NCL. Lack of details.

I felt that it was a very beautiful ship but I agree that it was boring. There was no music or activity by the pool. The theater had only one good show, and its only saving grace was Syd Norman's but it was a very small space for that entertainment.

Never gone on NCL including the Prima, but, at least IMHO, there's quite such an excess on some of the complaints. For me the decor is minimalistic and simple, but with such a premium twist. Think Viking to the mainstream to an extent. Paid activities is a mainstream feature, show reservations a need as well... I won't comment more deeper subjects only ones whom go on these ships can evaluate, but there is from those videos out there something that falls on your and many others concerns and that is valid for pretty much every mainstream vessel being released these times, from MSC World Europa to RCI's Icon of the Seas: The lack of actual classic bar/lounge space to hung out at evening with an adult drink on hand while listening to great music, and the general feel of some venues as small for ship's capacity. Either way you have alternative restaurants, fun activities, shops or other pay for stuff like tea and coffee places, specialty bars and so on. Only time will tell, but for me this ship would to be a go despite the little flaws.

The Prima class were designed to combine the modern luxury style of Celebrity’s newer fleet and make it more intimate to attract new people to the NCL brand. I’ve loved every NCL ship I’ve sailed and that includes Pride, Jewel class, and Breakaway Plus class. They all have a niche they fit and Prima is no different. I don’t want to go on a Celebrity cruise because I like my Freestyle experience. So now I get the Prima class as an option to fit that desire. NCL also knows that the majority of guests use the speciality restaurants so they are easing prep and provision needs in the MDRs. I’d still be happy sampling a few selections over 2-3 nights in the MDR knowing I’ll be in the specialities the other nights.
@benjaminsmith2287
@benjaminsmith2287 9 месяцев назад
Celebrity is kind of freestyle with the Edge ships. The Edge ships and the Prima have a lot in common in terms of colors and design aspects but the Prima has more flair. I really find the Edge ships overrated. They do have better food courts and such and more room, but no intimacy in public mingle areas.

NCL should try the ship in another market and see if it’s received well before building more in her class. After the ships NCL have in Australia or Asia it would probably do very well.

Well my thing is the whole thing about the prima was truly about the Haven and them relocating it. They should’ve just made it like an adult only because really the children’s splash area come on ! I’ve been watching all the videos and there’s absolutely nothing on that ship that draws me to want to cruise on that ship !!!!!!!!’ Because even with the Haven being in the back all the black suit from the smoke stacks will be all over everything in the haven we had a lot of trouble with that on our balcony on the Bliss we stayed in the Haven penthouse on the back of the shop. Every morning there were black specks of whatever comes out of those smokestacks all over the white covers on our chairs! And I can tell you the money that we paid for being in the Haven and on the back of the ship not happy camper The ship is boring boring boring the color scheme is ugly ugly ugly for the Haven the regular cabins it’s gorgeous don’t have to worry about me wasting my money
