YouTube Video Description

If you're looking to book the Norwegian Prima, make sure you watch our video for everything that loved, didn't love, and hated about our experience. The Norwegian Prima is the leader in the Prima-class of ships and was a major change in design style for Norwegian Cruise Lines at the time of her 2022 debut. In this video we talk about how the Prima is aging over the years, some of the venue placements that we absolutely loved, and other decisions that we didn't fully understand. Find out some of the not-to-be-missed meals are onboard, and we also share some of our favorite bar venues - along with some tips. While it wasn't easy for us to come up with our "didn't love" and "hated" lists for this sailing, we still did encounter some head-scratchers and things that just didn't make sense. 🚨Have you sailed on the Norwegian Prima?
