NCL Sushi Restaurant: NAMA | Is it worth it?? | Cruise Ship Sushi! | NCL Specialty Sushi Restaurant

FULL PRIMA SHIP TOUR AND REVIEW: https://youtu.be/3wUrSrxyrt8 If you’re curious about Nama, Norwegian Prima’s sushi and sashimi specialty restaurant, this video is your honest, first-hand review. We cover what it costs, how the menu works with and without the Free At Sea Dining Package, what to order if you’re new to sushi, and whether Nama is worth booking on your NCL cruise. You’ll see real dishes, real portions, and straight talk on taste and value—plus a few tips to make your reservation and meal go smoothly. Where you’ll find Nama: it’s on Norwegian’s newer ships, including Norwegian Prima (featured here) and ships like Viva, Encore, Bliss, Getaway, and Breakaway. The space leans minimalist and modern with low light and a calm, upscale feel—an intentional contrast to the energy of the rest of the ship. If you’re planning your Norwegian Prima dining strategy, this gives you a clear look at one of the most asked-about venues on board. Pricing and how it works: Nama is a specialty dining venue, so it’s not included in the standard cruise fare. Expect an upcharge around $50 per person that typically covers two appetizers, two entrees/rolls, and one dessert per person. Using the Free At Sea Dining Package? Nama generally runs about a $20 per-person add-on when you redeem a dining credit here. Policies and prices can change by sailing, so always verify in the NCL app once you’re onboard, but this video shows exactly how the value feels in practice—portion sizes, variety, and overall quality. Menu highlights you’ll see in this review: classic sashimi and nigiri, tuna rolls with a clean peppery kick, California rolls as a beginner-friendly option, crispy salmon rolls with aioli and sweet soy, spicy salmon rolls with a balanced heat, and shrimp tempura (note: smaller shrimp than you might expect). We also tried the chicken karaage—yes, fried chicken at a sushi spot—and it’s a sleeper hit: crisp exterior, juicy inside, and great with a squeeze of lemon. If you’re a sushi beginner or traveling with someone who’s cautious, we point out the most approachable choices so you can order confidently. Drinks: we sample the Hello Lychee cocktail (sake, gin, lychee syrup). If you love lychee, you might enjoy it. If not, you’ll probably want to choose something else from the bar list. Either way, you’ll see our real reaction so you can decide before you order. Is Nama worth it on Norwegian Prima? Our take is yes for many cruisers—especially if you’re using the dining package and want a focused, sit-down sushi night with big portions and consistent quality. The menu leans familiar rather than ultra-experimental, which is a plus for groups with mixed preferences. If you’re chasing the freshest sashimi and a calm dinner environment away from the ship’s main traffic, it’s an easy win. If you want blow-your-mind, avant-garde sushi, this isn’t that; it’s comfort-forward, well-executed standards that deliver. Tips before you book: • Reserve early in the NCL app; prime dinner slots sell out, especially on sea days. • If you’re on the dining package, double-check the per-person upcharge so there are no surprises. • Portions are generous—share appetizers and then add rolls as needed so you don’t over-order. • Ask for extra sauces if you like more acidity or heat with tempura and crispy rolls. • If someone in your party is new to sushi, start with California, crispy salmon, or basic tuna rolls, then add sashimi if they’re into it. • Allergen and dietary questions: confirm with the server; NCL is generally good about flagging items and providing guidance. Who this video helps: first-time NCL guests planning a Norwegian Prima food tour; cruisers comparing specialty dining vs complimentary options; sushi fans deciding between Nama and other restaurants onboard; and anyone asking “Is Nama included on the dining package?” or “What are the best rolls to order at Nama?” What we cover in the video: • Atmosphere, seating, and noise level compared to other Prima restaurants • How the pricing and dining package add-on works at the table • Real-world portion sizes on rolls, sashimi, tempura, and karaage • Honest ratings for each dish we tried (what we’d reorder and what we’d skip) • Quick ordering strategy for couples and small groups • Value verdict: cost vs quality vs convenience on Norwegian Prima Planning the rest of your Norwegian Prima cruise?
