Creator's Key Takeaways

This is not a talk about the brochure. This is a talk about a real trip.

My favorite spot on the ship was the observation lounge on deck 17. Hands down.

Service was really good. Not ultra luxury, but consistently solid.

Prima is modern. It's very design focused. It's a strong fit for adults.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty dining reservations as soon as you get on board using the ship's app.
Use the Cruise First program to save money when booking with Norwegian.
