5:20 Casual Eats
7:35 Main Dining Room
9:17 Specialty Dining

---NORWEGIAN PRIMA OUTDOOR DECKS---
The main pool deck on Norwegian Prima is smaller than we would expect for a ship of this size. Still, it is conveniently located between other popular public spaces. There is also a sundeck above as well as the kids aquapark and the new Wave waterslide.
Of course, there is also Vibe Beach Club. With a variety of lounging furniture, a bar, and two infinity hot tubs, this adult only retreat might be worth the upgrade for many cruisers.
Although, Ocean Boulevard is the prime real estate on this ship! On both sides of Ocean Boulevard, you will find an infinity pool, loungers, and some day beds with ocean-facing views. This enhanced outdoor deck gets cruisers closer to the ocean, while helping to disperse the crowds.
Unfortunately, not many of the Norwegian Prima sports deck activities are included in the cruise fare. However, they are fun nevertheless. Perhaps the most popular sports deck activity is the 3-story Prima Speedway.
Further, The Stadium features plenty of tabletop games like foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, and even a pickle ball court. The Bull's Eye is an up-charge darts lounge, and Tee Time is an interactive mini golf. There are also two new dry slides. The Drop is the first drop dry slide at sea, and The Rush are duel racing dry slides.
---NORWEGIAN PRIMA DINING---
Hands down, our favorite casual dining option is the Indulge Food Hall. This quick-service venue offers 7 complimentary food stations, excellent service, and perfectly prepared menu items. In addition, there is the 24-hour Local Bar and Grille and the Surfside Cafe which is the cruise ship buffet.
NCL has made some big changes to its main dining room experience on Norwegian Prima. The ship now has two main dining rooms, Hudson’s and The Commodore Room, which serve the same fixed menu each night of the cruise.
Norwegian Prima offers a variety of specialty dining. There are 8 themed specialty restaurants offering globally inspired signature menus. Debuting on Norwegian Prima is the new Mediterranean restaurant, Palomar, and the new hibachi restaurant, Hasuki. Cruisers can find other familiar favorites too like Cagney’s Steakhouse and Le Bistro.
---ENTERTAINMENT ON NORWEGIAN PRIMA---
Norwegian Cruise Line has some of the best signature productions at sea. Norwegian Prima debuts two new theater shows. Summer: The Donna Summer Musical features a phenomenal cast showcasing the singer's rise to stardom. The second show is Noise Boys. This show is from the producers of Choir of Man, so we are sure it will be a good time.
Also, Norwegian Prima’s transformational theater features some of your favorite television game shows at sea, like the Price is Right.
Of course, there are plenty of other nighttime activities to keep you busy on Norwegian Prima. The Prima theater transforms into a nightclub in the evenings. There's also live music around the ship, the popular Syd Norman's Pour House, comedy shows in the Improv at Sea, and plenty of bars and lounges.
Some of the new bars include the Belvedere Bar with signature bottled concoctions, a new rendition of the Whiskey Bar, and the sustainable Metropolitan Bar. However, there is no longer a Sugarcane Mojito Bar or the District Brewhouse.

It’s a very neat ship but I wish that they made a lot of the activities free. Or, at least have certain times when some activities are free. I’d rather pay more at the start in the cruise fare and get to do all the activities free of charge.

Yes, the activities are a lot of fun, but you certainly do need to budget extra money for them especially if you are sailing with a family.

Having missed the inaugural trip due to a lack of parts during the build. We have had to wait for this coming week to go to Iceland. With our travel knowledge and experience, the Prima is the only ship we haven't sailed on with NCL. With over 15 years of cruises, we have seen and done our share. Looking forward to the sea days aboard this ship. Being our third trip to Iceland, we want to revisit people and places again.

I love it and love NCL in general because you can use cash for your onboard account or your debit card rather than a credit card.It amazes me how many crew reviews don't mention this fact.I also like the modern contemporary look on the newer NCL ships as well especially the Prima class. I contacted Virgin Voyages Uk contact center and they told me they only accept credit card for the onboard account oh well guess I will never be a customer of virgin voyages I believe Royal Carribean at least allow you to have either a cash account or credit card account. What people forget is credit is exactly that money you don't really have.

i just got off 5/7-14 bermuda cruise. Partial remarks ( or ill probably forget): Main dining has 5-6 same items and a 4-5 new items every night. So thats changed. I didn't see any mdr for lunch on port days.. but i didn't specifically look. ship is smaller than I'm used to, but there really weren't any crazy lines to eat last night 8pm we waited 30 minutes, but usually 0 to 10 min mdr waits. no reservations for mdr (unlike rcl where they encouraged it)) Indulge was good, with different kinds of foods. Buffet was small, but I don't think we ate dinner there What was bad, and I think insulting, is the new secondary venues, Improv and sids. Each room had ~60 seats, and capacity of probably 100-150. out of 3200 guests. There was a fleetwood mac band that i couldn't even stick my head past the door to see. For next 10:30 show there were 200 people lined up at 8:30. So you would be standing for 3 hours. IN RCL there is the music hall , which probably has 4-500 + capacity, and 2 large rooms. I never was not able to see the stage on RCL ship

Great review! I just booked today for this coming January. I got a good deal. I have read and watched both good and poor reviews of this ship, but I like the intimacy of it. Also, I am cruising alone so it will be easy breezy. Are the cabins really not sound proof though? I won't mind paying extra for the adult club pool area. I am excited for my trip and hopefully I meet nice people.

just came back from 7 day Bermuda cruise on Prima, not impressed... Many parts of the ship is reserved for Haven Guests. The restaurants, the Infiniti pools. The food is boring, it's the same menu everyday, and service was just soso. No animal towels unless you pay extra...Breakfast buffett, had to fight for seats, and one day i was eating while standing... can't participate in any good activities because they are booked so fast before we even had a chance... very few shows... and it's deal or no deal is a joke.. they gave away $250 max price while there are hundred in the audience.
