Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed tour of the NCL Prima, a ship in the newer Prima class, following a January 2024 cruise. The video explores various ship amenities, including the multi-leveled atrium, specialty dining options like Nama and Hasuki, and the Indulge Food Hall. The creator highlights unique features of this class, such as the Ocean Boulevard promenade, the deck 18 activity area featuring go-karts and tabletop games, and a non-traditional theater with a disco-style layout. A significant portion of the video focuses on The Haven, a luxury ship-within-a-ship concept. While the creator notes that the Haven on this specific ship feels different and larger than on previous Norwegian vessels, they conclude that the experience was positive. The tour concludes with a walkthrough of a two-room family villa, noting the comfortable bedding, butler service, and specific room amenities like complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Despite minor observations regarding the size of the living area and certain service quirks, the creator expresses overall satisfaction with the cruise line.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I have had nothing but a good time I wouldn't say I had a bad time on this Cruise

this wasn't a normal Haven and I had some issues with it nothing that would stop me from going on this ship again but they were a little different

all in all it was a great time I love Norwegian Cruise Lines

the living room was definitely smaller on this two room family Villa as they call it I had them on the Encore and on I think the Breakaway or the Jewel and they were definitely bigger
