Creator's Key Takeaways

I genuinely had to check the deck plans to make sure that I'd been assigned the standard balcony cabin that I'd booked

I love this subtle uplighting in the butterfly design and this is the same in all of the cabins across the cabin grades

the internet speeds on this Cruise were fantastic and the live stream was an hour long but it didn't buffer and it didn't break once

if you want to change your cabin to do not disturb you just press a button inside the room and they can see it from outside the room

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the under-bed storage for suitcases to tidy away dirty clothes throughout the cruise.
Press the button inside the room to set do not disturb, as it's more reliable than a door hanger.

YouTube Video Description

Norwegian Cruise Line recently welcomed @EmmaCruises aboard Norwegian Prima to share her journey in a 5-part video series. Check out part three of the series and join the conversation, below! - - - I’ve been cruising for years and have stayed in balcony cabins on Norwegian's cruise ships in the past so when I boarded Norwegian Prima and found my cabin, I thought I knew what to expect. To check out Prima's future itineraries: https://bit.ly/42kYvzZ The next videos in the series: I Braved 5 of The SCARIEST Activities at Sea: https://youtu.be/yRjnwy0uyn0 From Buffet to Fine Dining I Explored a Cruise Ship Through FOOD: https://youtu.be/y7hiJCpQzmo When I first walked into the room though I genuinely had to check the deck plans to make sure that I had been assigned the standard balcony cabin that I had booked. The cabin felt so bright and open and spacious, and I’ve stayed in mini-suites on other ships in the past that felt far smaller than this. I stayed in cabin 13730 right in the middle of deck 13 and I can confirm, this is the standard balcony. The first thing that I noticed was this incredible mural on the wall behind the bed, it would be quite difficult to miss that one. I loved the subtle uplighting and the butterfly design, this is the same in all of the cabins across all of the cabin grades. Little did I know that I would find small things that surprised me in every corner of the cabin, from the wardrobes to the bathroom, there were things I’d not seen on cruises before. I noticed a big sofa complete with cushions and a desk on the other side of the room. Here I found the first of the big drawers which I affectionately named my bits and bobs drawer. I’m pretty sure thats a British phrase but I’m sure you get the idea, it’s the same as saying odds and ends. A drawer that is perfect for all of those everything things like chargers and hairbrushes that usually end up cluttering up the cabin. This drawer was huge and as I tested it out I noticed that it was soft close. A-mazing. Moving further into the cabin I noticed that there was a LOT of space under the bed. I’m a big fan of putting my suitcase under here so I can tidy away my dirty clothes throughout the cruise and this was fantastic for that. At one point I did test out the space under the bed and I could quite happily sleep down here if I wanted to. When I shared this photo online I had quite a few comments that said ‘I wouldn’t go down there, think of the dust’ well I’m happy to report that this cabin was spotlessly clean and having been under the bed, I think I’m more qualified to talk about that than most. I wanted my review to be thorough! This video is just one part of a 5 part series, so I look forward to seeing you in the next video! - - - Book & Plan Your Norwegian Cruise Here: https://www.ncl.com/?CID=SM_MOS_NA_ORGS_YOU_NA_TXT_YTSHIPTOURS_NA_NA_NA Explore Norwegian Prima Here: https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/prima?CID=SM_MOS_NA_ORGS_YOU_NA_TXT_YTSHIPTOURS_NA_NA_NA Be sure to subscribe to Norwegian Cruise Line’s YouTube channel to stay updated on the latest cruise deals, news and updates: http://bit.ly/2wEaHfQ [Paid Partnership]
