Destinations Incredible; cruise line plans..wet blanket. by RADTEKY

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Prima

The cruise itinerary is overwhelmingly the best thing about this cruise. The ship has its deficiencies . Don't think I would use the Prima again. Service and staff A+. Ship and especially cabin design is C-. Tipping policy on drink and food packages is exorbitant! Passenger tipping at $20 per person per day is approaching deal breaker status.

The destinations were great, fabulous encounters of natural beauty by malavazirani

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Prima

We were disappointed with the Shore Excursions especially we are paying so much monies and not sure how much quality control NCL performs once the local tours are outsourced. They lacked using Sound Enhancing equipment such as Whisper Boxes etc to ensure the patrons are able to listen to the Tour Guide not everyone can walk at their speed and given the fact there is limited space one can walk in tandem with the Tour Guide this should never have been an issue that we should raise. The Airconditoning system on bus in Bergen was not working in a bus full of people and 81degrees Farenheit this was really bad. I would like my monies back. As a matter of fact I was really happy with Shore Excursions Group I used for 2 of my local tours. Also our trip Polar Flight to Grimsey was literally cancelled last minute we were scrambling to get another local tour. It was frustrating.

The Prima is not one of their bigger ships and designed completely different than any cruise ship I've been on. I was aware of all the negatives before my sailing. I chose it because it was new and different. I had a spa balcony and access to the vibe club. The thermal sit is very nice and large, plenty of heated chairs and spread out nicely. I've never purchased the vibe pass but so glad I did this time even though it is almost $500 foot two. So worth it, friendly staff, also laid out very nicely and the views are amazing. Ate at both main dining rooms, food and service were good. Indulge food hall once, quick service but I'm not much of a foodie for different types of food. Cagney's and Onda were excellent. The buffet was what we expected. Shows were great and comedy was funny. We couldn't get on the race track, it was booked, but in last day we went up there and asked if they had any openings and they took us right away! That was a blast! The wave slide was fun too. Checked I the infinity pools, those were kind of neat. All in all, you cannot compare this ship to other ships. I've sailed on alot of NCL ships and the Encore is my favorite. I would sail this one again if it was in Miami. I was disappointed in the rudeness of the customers and their constant complaints. This is a beautiful, unique ship and it may not be for everyone.
