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!
This video is just one part of a 5 part series, so I look forward to seeing you in the next video!

USB-C outlet in the bedside lamp? 🙌 It’s the littleist things that make the biggest difference!
Yasss!!! Love it!!! ❤❤
Hi Stranger, I have a question. Please tell me why USB-C's are better in your opinion? Thank-You. I kind of like the sturdiness of a USB -A It feels like it would never break as long as we are not talking about the cable attached to it, Lol 😂. As a member of the Apple ecosphere, I rejoiced with the development of Qi charging.
@@EmmaCruises When do you think Cruise ships will start to introduce wireless charging places like some airlines have? Or is this something you have seen already on Cruise Ships. As I write this I'm wondering if Virgin Cruises has wireless charging facilities already?
If I watched this video with the sound off I would have sworn Emma was staying in one of the fancy exclusive suites. There was so much space! And those chairs on the balcony looked so comfortable. And she even tested the amount of space under the bed, hands on. Now that's going above and beyond. Norwegian and Emma continue to be a fantastic pairing!
Hahah!! Sound off 😂😂
Hi Emma,
I agree with John Dalecki.'s comment.
I am booked in a standard cabin on the Norwegian Jewel. There is no couch, and no desk. Is the cabin this large and well furnished because it is on the Norwegian Prima ? This doesn't seem like a standard balcony cabin.
This gal is the BEST. Thanks for officially making her part of the family.
This series of videos that Emma has done on the Norwegian prima has really changed my mind about them. This looks like the best standard balcony room I've ever seen in a cruise ship. Really well done review! I typically don't watch reviews on Norwegian ships but because Emma was doing it I knew it would be thorough and it was!
Thanks Bill that’s so kind! ❤
Totally agree
Emma made it onto the official NCL channel👏🏼
I did!! So cool!!!! Thank you! 😁❤
Love the Emma Cruises review, always thorough and entertaining and always honest. It does look like a very nice stateroom and that is usually the balcony category that I book for the two of us. I am enjoying the Prima videos from Emma's perspective and looking forward to a Prima sailing in the near future.
Thanks Lou!! ❤🎉
@@EmmaCruises my pleasure.
A shower that doesn't leak? Now that's a first!
I know right!!! ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
On here from Emma's channel 😊
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
What I’d give to be back on that balcony enjoying a cookie. Mmm!!! 🤤🤤🤤
Best cookies are cruise ship cookies!
Thank You Emma!! And Thank You Norwegian for sharing this!!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
What a gorgeous room! I need to get on this ship ASAP! Shout out to Tony at La Lido Loca! I'm also a "fluffy cruiser" and appreciate a well-sized bathroom. These videos from Emma have been such a delight to watch. Norwegian has found an excellent person to feature their brand. Thank you, Emma, for the fantastic review and for going the extra mile of testing out all that extra space under the bed. 😂
We couldn't agree more!
You are so kind, Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Fluffy Girls ROCK
Thanks Emma for the cabin review. Looks like the Prima cabins have some very nice feature upgrades. I will really appreciate the hideaway storage for my bits and bobs in the main cabin and the bathroom as well. Always enjoy the views of a sunset at sea. Very special indeed.
Yeah!! Love the bits and bobs. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I don't like at all her voice, it's strident, has a British accent, cannot watch, sorry.
I’m a knickknack draw kinda guy… but I know in the UK knickknacks are more like tchotchkes… The room is beautiful, light and contemporary without being too IKEA… cheers Emma 👍
Hahah. Thank you! 😁❤️
I like Emma's videos because she is a rapid talker (like me) and so there are no wasted time in her videos.
Ha ha! Thank you! I do get a lot of complaints about it but people can slow it down if they wanna! 😂😂
Think we need a cookie review on every cruise as this is more important than the room :-)
That’s a good idea 😂❤
The first thing I usually check when I get to my room is the bathroom. I wasn’t planning on going on another big ship anytime soon, but Emma’s reviews of the NCL Prima may have changed my mind.
Wheeeey! Loved Prima. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Glad to see Emma. Love her
Thank you! 😁❤️
Another thorough, comprehensive, and entertaining review from Emma. Beautiful ship for sure! This series has been fantastic. Hey NCL...how about you have her do a deep dive into The Haven. We'd all love to see her do a series on that. Do you think you could talk her into it?
YASSSS!!! Love this idea 😉❤
I can attest that the Internet speed was amazing for a cruise ship since I watched Emma's live stream. And yes! The color scheme of the room is outstanding. I love how bright and modern the cabin appears! Great review!!!
Thanks Rich! ❤🎉
Another great video - thanks!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Stunning!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
NCL is one of the cruise lines I’ve never been on. After watching this review, I think I would like to give this ship a go!
Woohoo! Thank you! 😁❤
Beautiful ship!! Thx Emma
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I can’t wait for our Norwegian Prima cruise,thank you so much
Have the best time ever!!!! 😀❤️
Such a beautiful video. Great job on this one! I always love your videos, easy to listen to and follow
Thanks so much 🥹❤
What a beautiful cabin review Emma!! Thanks for sharing this with us!! 😊
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I love NCL. I'm not surprised the service was very good because NCL assigns their best workers on the newer ships. The worn and tired go to older ships 😏 I look forward to sailing Prima 'some day'. I was delighted to see you on recent videos from the NCL account! Way to go, Ms. Emma 🎉
I disagree, I had a great cruise on Norwegian sun last November (check out the video on my channel about it). Didn’t notice any difference in service. 😀❤️
We had fabulous service on the NCL Jade in October 2022.
Thank you Emma for the cabin review, it looks fantastic just like everything else on this ship!!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
We are pretty new to cruising and I think NCL needs to be our next cruise! Thank you Emma for being so thorough.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I don’t recommend it
Another great video from Emma!
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
The improved balcony chairs look great.
So comfy! Thanks for sharing! 🥳👏🏼
Great job Emma! This makes us want to book Prima for our next NCL cruise.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks for another great video, Emma! We're starting to plan our first cruise and all of your insights have been extremely helpful.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Love this vid Emma - would absolutely love to stay in a cabin like yours - it really does look wonderful
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Great review as usual Emma. Your videos are always outstanding. Heading out on the Escape next Sunday and already looking forward to booking something on the Prima.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Absolutely awesome, Prima is our next cruise.
Carnival has a great deal to learn:
We have pictures and videos how dysfunctional and filthy our Carnival State rooms were on the Mardi Gras and Celebration.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Wow! The cabin looks amazing. Love the decor and all the drawers for bits and bobs! I also love your delivery. You speak as fast as I do 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Emma, WOW what a nice cabin on NCL Prima and a great review by you!
Thank you! 😁❤️
Emma is so sweet. I always enjoy her reviews. Im so ready to cruise Norwegian.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
🎉iuy
My bed on the Prima was the most comfy bed ever ... a cloud bed ... of course, it was brand new, so that could explain a lot.
Hey Norwegian I am a big fan of Emma Cruises so I liked the videos with Emma in them so thank you Norwegian you are the best also I tried the Norwegian Dawn and I loved it
Hey Noah!!! So good to see you here. Thank you lots.
A member of team spud here! Loving your Prima content Emma - thank you!!
Hey spuddy!! (get it, like buddy... ha ha). Thank you! 😁❤
Excellent video
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Oh my, this has the be the most thorough tour I have ever seen. Thank you for that. We are going on the Viva in September, first on NCL. Originally booked the balcony cabin but upgraded to Haven. I am thinking we would have been quite happy with the balcony room too. Anyway, thank you for the tour!
Can't wait to welcome you on board!
Need to get myself on an NCL cabin because of this great video!
Woohoo! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
This cabin is gorgeous.
Could have fooled me! I legit it was super up there in regards to the type of cabins you would get. Just gives me more reason to look more into Norwegian Cruise Lines!
Thanks Emma and Norwegian Cruise Line for this video!!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Beautiful cabin ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Useful space under the bed is such a bonus. I understand why it’s not typical; can anyone imagine being housekeeping and venturing under there with a vacuum
So true 😂😂
I appreciate that you are absolutely honest and straightforward about this being sponsored, and you are paid for by the cruise line for this review.
I feel like this truly bolsters your credibility. You're not trying to hide anything. You're always charming and delightful when I watch your videos.
Thanks again for sharing your experience and thoughts.
Thanks so much, appreciate it! It's so cool for me that Norwegian hired me to make this video, not sure what 11 year old me on my first Norwegian cruise would think of that! :)
Brilliant video, Emma. Between you and Justin I am convinced to try Prima.😂
Haha!! Justin was convincing me for so long 😂😂😂
Amazing room, looks very hi tech.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
great video :)
Emma your voice is so calming 😊
Thank you! 😁❤️
Looks like a lovely room
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
We were on this same cruise and even found us in the Donna Summer Musical crowd. Loved this cruise and love your content!
That is so so cool, hope you enjoyed!!! Thank you! 😁❤
Thanks Emma from Bris Aus 😊👍
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I am boarding the Viva in Dec out of Miami and have loved these videos of Prima and the one's on @EmmaCruises they have really gotten me excited. Have a cruise coming up in 9 days but I am actually more excited about VIVA....
Have the best time ever!!!! 😀❤️
They still use a fish carpet pattern on some newer NCL ships, also. They have it aboard Encore, which we sailed to Alaska.
Love it!! 🥰❤️
Norwegian Cruise lines really seem A++
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Norwegian was fantastic and we have balcony on Deck 9
Nice review! We'll be staying on the Viva on the same deck, three doors astern, in September!
Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Literally off the Prima a day ago. I want my 10140 every time! GM Marc and staff took such good care of me. We hit a major storm on our journey from NYC to Iceland. We were trapped AT SEA for two days extra off northern Iceland, but the Prima handled it just as she should have...we rocked and rolled, but we all insist she was quite steady based on waves we encountered! Captain Kevin is brilliant. Emma, Nita OUT!
Ooo, so glad you enjoy!!! Thank you! 😁❤
Can't wait to go in December.
Have a great time! 🥳🥳
@@EmmaCruises thank you so much! My family and I love your videos on UA-cam.
Wonderful and thorough reviews. Great Job!!
My "double" in Splendida YC kept sliding apart! The two beds were held together by only tight sheets 😂😂💕
Hahaha awkward! Wake up in the gap 🤣🤣
@@EmmaCruises MIND THE GAP! 😀
The staterooms on Prima were super nice and the bathroom was fantastic. I did not really like the ship over all, to many spaces that were too small. But the stateroom was fantastic.
Fair enough 😀❤ Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I booked this exact balcony cabin category for my 11 days cruise from London to Rejkyavik yaaaaaaay
Have a great time! 🥳🥳
I really want to try this now ❤
Do it do it. You’d like it I’m sure. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises it looks awesome 😎
Oh WOW EMMA!!!! The official NCL channel 😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So cool right?! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Convincing description 👍 detailed and complete 💯 enthusiastic plea 🙏 for a well designed balcony cabin on NCL PRIMA 🌅 by the competent and charming Emma ☺️
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Stunning ship, glorious cabin - I wish! FYI, if you use the term "rooting around" in Australia it has a very, very different meaning. I think it's the same in New Zealand but you should be ok so long as you're not a sheep.
We are doing the Prima in April and I can’t wait!! We’re on the port side on deck 14. So excited to see everything. Does your cruise tour include food??
All the food in the main dining rooms, buffet, indulge food hall and the local is included. I have a separate video about the food if you’re interested. 😀🥳
God Ilove Emma's videos and I don't think I will ever cruise again. She's just so nice.
Thanks for sharing! 🥳👏🏼
hey, i'm on this ship right now and this is the nicest boat i've been on. im on deck 5 in a window room and time-lapsing nature as we go by (the chair fits between bed and window and using the window ledge as a laptop desk so i recommend a window room even just for this purpose to be able to sit at the window and watch the ocean go by). thank you for your recommendation for indulge food hall - it's definitely been my fave place (the indian food is much better than the places at home). i have been super hesitant to pay $2 for my undies to be washed, 3 weeks on this boat, and getting more practice than i ever wanted washing my clothes in the shower and sink. but we're half way thru and i know i'm going to have to bite the bullet and just pay for laundry. (i hadnt realized that NCL doesnt have public laundry like my last long cruise on princess - oops my bad! thats what i get for not being a thorough planner)
So glad you are enjoying it!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
The Norwegian Uncle ?
Haven't heard of that one!!
😆 I kid I kid, Emma!
3:29
🤣🤣🤣
What a beautiful cabin! I appreciate the tour and review by @emmacruises.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Gaaaaahhhhh, why am I in Australia *cries* NCL never comes here (I think) and this ship is flipping unbelievable! All that power & USB ports- NCL, I think I love you lol . And that water......THAT. WATER. VIEW!
Hahaha!! 😂😂😂
I am always paranoid about ‘do not disturb’ signs so that feature would help me relax so much more. As would the knowledge that I could sleep under the bed if necessary (well, maybe not so much that one). Great video, I still can’t believe that your content has made me go from hating the idea of a cruise to a lot of daydreaming about one!
Yesss!! Haha!! I love that. Thank you! 😁❤️
I’m going to Alaska today and I’m already on the boat
Have a great time! 🥳🥳
I wouldn’t have considered NCL Prima before watching your video but you’ve sold me! I may well take a cruise back to Bermuda (where I live). Do you know whether it’s possible to do a one-way leg at all? Otherwise I’ll just spend the 3 Bermuda days at my office 😂 and then cruise back to NY! Thanks for these great videos Emma!
Haha, you could leave after one leg but you'd have to pay for both as far as I know! ;) Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Bits and bobs drawers in the US are almost always called "the junk drawer".
Anyone remember the days when Emma was a dirt-cheap inside cabin cruiser?
Ha ha, my first Norwegian cruise aged 11 was actually in a balcony!! But if you mean the last time for me, was November 🤣❤️
She still is, lol. She's convinced me to try inside cabins when I always picked staterooms with verandahs, and it's allowed me to cruise more often! But she's amazing at finding deals, her and her travel agent partner Emma Otter. Sometimes they can find cruises with a balcony stateroom for less (or at least comparable) than an inside cabin.
Emma !! 😁🎈
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I Emma in thumbnail and insta click. She called this a standard balcony cabin. Well, I can't see anywhere else that anything about this cabin would be called standard. It was luxury all the way. Emma calls it as she sees it on her channel and I don't think she did any different on her review for Norwegian. Her review might as well have said it lived up to the ships name. Everything that she showed and described was Prima, no doubt about that.
This is the loveliest comment!! I appreciate it so much. Thank you! 😁❤️
You're really selling me on this ship. Hope NCL pays you well for the promos.
Note this isn’t even Emma’s channel! 😉
Sign me up for that cruise
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
The cabins seem pretty, modern and big. But , what about hearing noises from others cabins? Recently I read some reviews and people talk that the cabins doesn’t have appropriate noise canceling walls.
Yeah I could hear some conversations, but luckily we had a family next door so we never had any problems in the evenings or anything with noise. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
My biggest gripe with NCL has been the chairs they have on the balcony. They are defiantly not plus size friendly and are extremely uncomfortable. These chairs on the prima balcony look much more comfortable and I would like to suggest to Norwegian that they consider changing out balcony to more comfortable chairs like these ones or something somewhat similar.
Really?! I don’t remember the other chairs but I think they’re the same as all the other lines, from memory. ❤
@@EmmaCruises It's possible that the newer and larger ships do have better balcony chairs. I've only been on the Gem and Pearl and the balcony chairs are really small with metal bar handles where you really have to squeeze yourself into them. A lot of times I will just take the desk chair out on to the balcony and sit on that.
Putting your towels on the floor isn’t secret cruise code. That’s standard for housekeeping on land or at sea.
SHHHHHHHHH!! ;)
Amazing! Emma can you elaborate on what a “soft close” drawer is? Watched that part 5 times and still don’t understand not sure if that’s a British ism lol but I understand you mean that it doesn’t make noise I just am wondering what’s that being compared to as none of my drawers make noise when I close them haha is it automatic close? Anyway, the room looks amazing! Hope to cruise on Prima one day! Love the balcony chairs and the shower!
Haha, just mean it closes softly and never bangs, it stops itself ❤😊
@@EmmaCruises thanks Emma! Can’t wait to hopefully sail Prima one day! Your reviews are amazing! 🤗🛳️🌇
Thank you! 😁❤️
Is it really "not dusty" below 😅🤔? @EmmaCruises
So many surprised 😱😱😱 sockets
Yes! Haha.
Emma is a superstar now! Way to grow yourself and your channel! You do great work, I love your videos.
Thanks so much 🥹❤
The "secret-towel" thing isn't a secrete anymore. It's becoming standard in many American Motels. :)
I love it! Some comments here say they never found it 😅
I'd like to try NCL but unfortunately they do very few cruises under 7 days, which is too long for me.
Ooo, they do some I'm sure! But mostly longer yeah :)
Saludos soy impedido silla de ruedas quisiera saber de las facilidades para impedido gracias
I like the dresses you wear. They suit you well.
Thank you! 😁❤
the CruiseCritic crabs don't like this ship. Still, I derive great pleasure and really good laughs reading their complaints and whines. Prima looks like a beautiful ship. Encore in July to Alaska for us!!!!!!
I wouldn’t worry too much about cruise critic, people who have a good or decent time don’t take the time to write reviews (I haven’t!!) so review sites are always negative bias. 😅
Just had a funny thought. Is it ok to ask for the room to be made up while you are still on it? Also, what happens if you have expensive items and something disappears? Do you need to take insurance for that?
Ha ha, I have no idea It would be very awkward! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I would love to cruise and maybe take mom too, but were both afraid of deep water.
It's worth it, promise!! I never think about :') Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@EmmaCruises Thank you for your reply. I will talk to my mom. Your very kind. 😃
I keep "Do Not Disturb" signs from the hotels I have stayed in.
Really?! That must be very annoying for whoever stays after you. Eek.
@@EmmaCruises It's better than taking towels as souvenirs. They do not take up much space, and some are unique. Since I never go on cruises its absence may be something you will never have to experience.😉
@Norwegiancruiseline
Get EMMA in the HAVEN!!!
Hahahah. Let’s start a petition. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 LET ME IN.
Let her in! Let her in!!! 😂
