Prime Time on Norwegian Prima: The Cruise Web’s Review

Norwegian Prima at Sea with effects

In early October, many of The Cruise Web’s finest packed their bags and embarked on an exclusive first-look event on the all-new Norwegian Prima, the first ship in Norwegian Cruise Line’s best class of ship EVER! From the second the ship came into view at the pier in New York City, everyone knew Norwegian had stepped their game up and once onboard, well, we’ll let you keep reading and find out just how special of a ship Norwegian Prima is, from cruising experts in their own words! Below, you’ll find the highlights of 4 days onboard Norwegian Prima!

Norwegian Prima Highlights

 

NCL’s Haven gives you the freedom to enjoy all the action, choices, and excitement aboard, but then escape to the quiet elegance of your Haven pool, lounge, restaurant, bar, suite or private balcony, for a vacation that’s the best of both worlds!Frans H., President

Vibe Beach Club

My favorite part of the Prima was the Vibe Beach Club, very relaxing, stylish, beautifully presented cocktails and lovely, comfy furniture. The views from that area, especially while docked in Manhattan were spectacular. I also enjoyed the many different evening entertainment venues, it was action packed full of different types from karaoke, game shows, rock shows, comedians at Improv at Sea, and of course a fantastic Nightclub. Julie A., Senior Manager

Indulge Food Hall on Norwegian Prima

My most memorable experience was ‘Indulge’. The Indulge Food Hall offers a vast variety of made to order dishes from a variety of menus. The way it works is you find a table where there is an iPad and sit. It does not matter which venue you are seated, ALL of the establishments  are listed on the iPad (unless you are seated at a counter, then you will only find what is listed for that particular restaurant). You just go down the list , pick what you want, hit order and they will bring your custom made lunch or dinner to you. We had the Crab Tostada (from the Tapas Bar) and it was FABULOUS! So, when onboard the Prima, try Indulge Food Hall. You will not be disappointed!Gloria H., Cruise Consultant

Norwegian Prima's Galaxy Pavilion

The Galaxy Pavilion is a once in a lifetime source of entertainment all in one. There’s something for every family member to enjoy. On Deck 18, you have the dry slides on the side of the ship where you can see yourself hover over the ocean. The go karts felt like real life Mario Karts. I spun around in circles as if I was in a video game. The live music and shows were one of a kind. So good! Prima has a wide variety of venues, family friendly activities and modern design elements throughout. Regardless of age or style of cruisers, everyone will believe they are getting their money’s worth for experiencing this luxurious tech savvy ship. All in all; it was a 10/10 cruise ship and experience. I will be bringing my family on this ship in the future. Everyone who is a someone needs to experience this ship for themselves!Kimberly M., Cruise Consultant

Speedway Bar, Go Kart & Mini Golf

After cruising on the Norwegian PR1MA inaugural from NYC to Halifax, NS, all I can say is WOW! The ship was beautiful and well thought out. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and entertainment options onboard the ship, especially the Indulge Food Hall. On the top decks of the ship, there is fun for all ages. The Go-Kart track is a highlight (make a reservation early), and the mini-golf and parlor game options are great! The VR game room, Galaxy Pavilion, is a great way to spend a few hours while onboard. In the living quarters, the standout feature is the improved bathrooms. The shower and sink are larger, and the width provided me an extremely comfortable grooming area.Max P., Team Leader, Cruise Consultant

Le Bistro Entrance and Food on Norwegian Prima

Prima in one word is – options.  Prima offers a surplus of dining, activity, entertainment, and accommodation options.  Personally, the French restaurant Le Bistro for dining, the Stadium area for fun and competitive activities, The Price is Right game show for entertainment, and the Haven Suites for accommodations!  Michael H., Director of Sales

Balcony stateroom & View on Prima

Wow! Norwegian’s Prima is just incredible. Personally, the highlight for me was the level of service onboard. It was like a luxury cruise! One of the staff members let me in on a little secret – Norwegian hand-picked the best of the best crew members in their fleet and brought them together on Prima and it shows. If you’re looking for a luxury cruise without the luxury price tag, Prima is the way to go! As for onboard experience, I loved the spacious, beautiful stateroom and look at this view of Halifax, Nova Scotia from the balcony!  – Michael J., Assistant Manager

Galazy Pavilion

During our recent voyage on the NCL Prima, my family had an amazing time in the Galaxy Pavilion.  I’ve never experienced something like this on a ship before!  The Prima has a large section dedicated entirely to virtual reality experiences, ranging from a dance competition, to driving Formula 1 cars, to fighting Zombies in 3D!  My husband’s favorites were the life-sized rally truck simulator and the spaceship.  My daughter loved the sports simulator and I was a big fan of the escape room.  You could easily spend an entire day in there and still not experience it all.  It’s so much fun! Karolina S., Vice President
