From November 19 through December 3, 2023, Norwegian Prima cruises from PortMiami offering three 7-day Western Caribbean voyages to Harvest Caye Belize (NCL's private island), Cozumel Mexico, Roatan Island Honduras. Norwegian Prima's interactive show productions are the first at sea when the Prima Theater transforms into a nightclub and all guests participate in the show. The shows were developed via partnership with Fremantle (fka FremantleMedia, British/London-based TV production and distribution company, subsidiary of the RTL Group/Luxembourg-based media broadcasting corporation). The theater lounge also hosts the 2022-debuted game show "The Price is Right LIVE". Finished with the finest touches, spacious suites with luxury accommodation. Norwegian Prima stands apart because of its massive Haven suite complex, as well as a Studio area devoted to solo travelers.

The ship’s newness means you can expect modern and sleek designs that will leave you feeling as if you’re staying in a luxury resort, rather than floating at sea. Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2022 ship, Norwegian Prima, sets the standard for a new class of cruise ships from the line. The Prima is one of three Prima-class ships currently sailing with Norwegian. The Prima-class ships are smaller than Norwegian’s Breakaway-plus-class of ships. They have more outdoor space than any other Norwegian cruise ship with an expansive Ocean Boulevard wrapping around the ship.

Another portion of the top deck is devoted to the private Vibe Beach Club lounge area. The latter area only is accessible to passengers who pay extra. There are still two traditional main restaurants offering menu service and I found the food to be equivalent to fine dining. A modern food hall offers 11 different dining concepts with everything from a noodle bar and Indian cuisine to barbecue and a full-service Starbucks.

Shipboard facilities and amenities
These Oceanview staterooms are perfect for up to two guests who want a room with a view. Guests can step outside to take in the fresh sea breezes on a balcony that is obstructed by the dry slide. These rooms feature two lower beds that convert to a queen, a sitting area and bathroom. The Haven -- Norwegian's luxury ship-within-a-ship suite complex -- is the best yet on Prima. The other major change with Prima is that there’s been a lot of thought put into making a large ship feel “boutique” with its space.
Prima Will Be Smaller Than Previous Ships
Take your taste buds on a delicious journey through the Indulge Food Hall. Unwind in our most spacious accommodations and enjoy first-rate service so you won’t wait a second for that second round. Spas always seem to be afterthoughts on cruise ships, but Prima's Mandara Spa almost feels like the ship was designed around it. An impressive two-story waterfall (a first among cruise ships) that spills into thermal pools is the spa's most inviting feature.
And perhaps the largest open area of the ship is the casino, but its layout offers a tremendous amount of space between tables and machines instead of feeling like you’re on top of other people. There is hardly any spot that’s a wide open space or massive room. The Club balcony suites are quite similar to the balcony staterooms mentioned above, just with more space and access to extra Club-level perks. The traditional suites offer additional spaces, balconies, extra sleeping arrangements, butler and concierge service and more, depending on the suite you choose. Norwegian Cruise Line isn't meant to be a high-end brand, but its new Norwegian Prima offers a lot of high-end touches. A not-insignificant part of the top of the vessel is devoted to outdoor lounge areas that are exclusively for use by passengers staying in the ship's Haven suite area.
Read about my attempt to test every dish at its 11 venues in four days to find out. In addition, the top of Norwegian Prima has a new-for-the-line open-air games zone called The Stadium with a pickleball court, foosball tables, pingpong, bar-style hand shuffleboard tables and other amusements. By that measure, Norwegian Prima is downright small and uncrowded for a big ship with a lot to offer (see more on that below). The ship has a higher crew-to-passenger ratio than many Norwegian ships, as well. Among other nearby outlets with elevated design is Cagney's Steakhouse. The venue pays homage to 20th-century architecture icon Frank Lloyd Wright with patterned concrete walls and other bold modern architectural elements.
In addition, The Local Bar & Grill and room service are available 24 hours a day with different menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night bites. On May 17, NCL bragged that (by first-day bookings and week of sales) Prima has become the brand's most popular ship ever. The ship's other shops include Roberto Coin (jewelry), Effy Jewelry, Timeless Luxury & Fine Watches, Pandora Jewelry & Lifestyles, The Zone & Eye Style, Tech @ Sea, Perspectives Photo Studio & Gallery. Syd Norman's Pour House (debuted on Norwegian Breakaway in 2018) is a rock-and-roll-themed bar lounge with live band music (all-time-greatest songs). Follows the complete list of Norwegian Prima restaurants and food bars.
For adults wanting to take a luxury cruise, this is your ship. Design is at the top of the charts onboard, and the entire ship feels “boutique.” If you’re celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or want a romantic getaway, then we can’t think of a better ship right now. Instead of the typical round shower enclosure, the walk-in shower is a rectangle with a glass door. It seems to offer much more space than the typical in-cabin shower. Pool DeckHead upstairs to Deck 17 and you’ll find the pool deck, but it’s a big change from what you might be used to seeing. In short, if you’re expecting a large wide-open pool deck, then it’s far from it.
The ship itself is completely different from any other ship in the Norwegian lineup with its eight specialty dining restaurants, three-level go-kart track, interactive mini golf course, 10-story tall slides, and more. While Prima encourages guests to take advantage of its popular port stops, the ship also offers passengers a wide range of activities to do while onboard during sea days as well. "The Haven by Norwegian" on PRIMA-class NCL ships (designed by Piero Lissoni & Partners) spans 8 decks and groups suites, public areas, and exclusive venues, all positioned in the aft/stern section.
If you won't be using these options, booking a "sail away" rate that doesn't include the Free at Sea benefits is considerably cheaper. Also, most of these benefits are the base packages; you can spend more to upgrade to better alcoholic drinks or faster/more wifi. Also designed by Studio Dado, they have a clean-lined, minimalist look of the sort you find at sophisticated contemporary hotels on land.
Given the weight of water high-up on the ship, pools are relatively small and shallow, plopped in the middle of the deck. One of the features of newer Norwegian ships has been the emphasis on the outdoors. Every ship you’ll ever sail has a pool deck where people can get out and soak up the sun.
Gatherings for LGBTQ+ travelers are held throughout the cruise. Norwegian Prima cabins to avoid include any room above or around the ship's theater, which doubles as a night club and can be loud late into the night. The downside of this is the activities cut into the pool deck, which has a tiny pool and only a small amount of space to lounge. Zoom around the world’s first three-level race track at sea. Let the conversation and the cabernet flow at the outdoor bar. Feel the gentle sea breeze as you relax in a cabana at Indulge Outdoor Lounge.
The table below will help you understand what you might spend onboard a Norwegian ship. That means Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Barqs Root Beer, although the selection can vary by ship.
For one, the design that makes the ship feel so much more intimate and cozy? It really extends everywhere, even spots that would be better served with larger space. For instance, the pool deck at the top of the ship is small, so instead of that open and airy feeling you get at the top of a ship, it’s still a bit enclosed.
The racetrack goes around and through the funnel/smokestack, max capacity 15 cars (racing simultaneously) and allows max speeds 50+ kph (30+ mph). The unique sports facility is served by the Speedway Bar (located beneath the racetrack). Other onboard culinary choices include "The Latin Quarter" (classic Latin food with a twist), "Just Desserts" (including pies and cakes), "Just Ice Cream". The 2022-built Norwegian Prima cruise ship is the first of all six PRIMA-Class NCL liners constructed in Italy by Fincantieri (Marghera Yard/Venice). From the PRIMA PLUS series are the 10% larger ( GT-tons) sisterships Aqua (2025) and TBN4 (2026), as well as the 20% larger ( GT-tons) sisterships TBN5 (2027) and TBN6 (2028).
