I Took a Futuristic Cruise From New York City
Фильм және анимация
I’ve just disembarked a cruise on one of the most exciting cruise ships in the world where I braved a 10-deck drop slide and raced other passengers around a three-storey race track on the top decks. The cruise was onboard the newest Norwegian cruise ship Norwegian Prima and even though I’ve been cruising with Norwegian since I was a child, this ship took me by surprise in every way possible.

Our cruise took us to Bermuda and in between lots and LOTS of live music, entertainment and eating I saw and did things that most people wouldn’t imagine were possible on cruises. The cruise was anything but ordinary and like every cruise, it wasn’t all plain sailing.
I took my first cruise with Norwegian when I was 11 years old and I’ve been cruising with them ever since but always on the smaller and older Norwegian ships. Prima has 19 bars and 15 different restaurants, she is 20 decks high and as long as 13 tennis courts or 75 full-sized cars so she's a relatively big ship. I knew that Prima had far more choices than I was used to at sea so I did wonder if I would find it all a bit overwhelming.
I hoped that it wouldn't feel too busy sharing the ship with over 3000 other people and I wanted to come away from the cruise feeling as though it was worth the price tag.
I’d been told that Prima was a more luxurious and premium kind of ship but I didn’t know if that would suit me and the way that I cruise. For the sake of little Emma here who was enjoying her first Norwegian cruise, I hoped that the experience hadn't changed too much from what I loved in the past. I was hoping for the same, but better.
When I saw a sailing onboard Prima sailing to Bermuda from New York City, I knew that this was my time to give it a go. Sailing out of New York city is beautiful and Bermuda is always fantastic. This itinerary had 3 days in Bermuda too which I was excited about. It's rare to stay in a port for that long.

** A little explainer about the paid promotion popup** - Hey hey, thanks SO much for watching this video and your lovely comments, I appreciate it so much. This video has the ‘paid promotion’ popup on it and all social posts related to this cruise have #ad because I was onboard Prima to create content for their KZread channel which is really really cool (you can see the videos on the Norwegian Cruise Line page). I didn’t pay for my cruise fare for this cruise because I was onboard working but the videos are all my own content and my own thoughts/opinions. The only difference is I had access to lots of cool things like speciality meals and the adult only paid for area so I could create some bonus content for you. I hope you will enjoy it, I certainly did! Thanks for watching. 😀👏🏼

Thanks for bing so open about this. You had made this clear on previous videos but by not stating it again clearly in this video I admittedly got a bit nrvous about what direction you were moving in. You are the only cruising channel I watch and its your honesty, clarity, and openess that makes m appreciate these videos so much.

Where did you stay before the cruise? We’re taking a Bermuda cruise in September, on Oceana. Is it hard to go back to an inside or ocean view cabin after having a more luxury cabin?
I associate the Price is Right with being ill. When I was in grammar school 50 years ago, the only time I saw it was when I was home sick from school, because it was on at 11AM. The original host, Bob Barker, is still alive at 99.

I'm from NJ and grew up cruising like yourself, but this route was our yearly tradition so I'm fortunate enough to have been there at least 8 times now. I've been super intrigued about going on the Prima because I haven't been on a Norwegian cruise in years, and this might've tipped the scales in its favor!
