YouTube Video Description

We were on the inaugural cruise of Norwegian Prima and want to share all the details with you in this Norwegian Prima Cruise Review. Find out if the critics are right about this new NCL ship. Subscribe to the Eat Sleep Cruise YouTube Channel if you love to travel and cruise the world! https://www.youtube.com/c/EatSleepCruise1 If you enjoy the video, please make sure to give it a BIG THUMBS UP! ----NORWEGIAN PRIMA REVIEW---- 0:00 Introduction 1:00 Pool Deck on NCL Prima 2:38 Sports Deck 5:20 Casual Eats 7:35 Main Dining Room 9:17 Specialty Dining 11:35 Service 12:50 Onboard Activities 14:12 Signature Entertainment 15:15 Nightlife 16:55 Bars and Lounges 18:55 Staterooms ----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. ----READ OUR NORWEGIAN PRIMA CRUISE REVIEW---- https://eatsleepcruise.com/our-honest-norwegian-prima-cruise-ship-review/ ----TRENDING VIDEOS FROM EAT SLEEP CRUISE---- Norwegian Prima FULL Ship Tour: https://youtu.be/690m0gAS0So Everything New on Norwegian Prima: https://youtu.be/SePdMm7L3uU What's Included on NCL: https://youtu.be/ZEnubW6QNEw Wonder of the Seas Cruise Review: https://youtu.be/payf3Z94_d4 Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel to get the latest cruise tips, cruise reviews, packing guides, port guides, travel tips, and more.
