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.
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!
