- Norwegian Cruise Line recently welcomed @EmmaCruises aboard Norwegian Prima to share her journey in a 5-part video series. Check out part two of the series and join the conversation, below!

I’ve just disembarked a cruise on Norwegian Prima where I took a journey through food that included some seriously impressive cruise ship tech and some immersive dining experiences that I will never forget.
I even tested a few new cruise food concepts along the way that I’ve never seen before on a ship, or on land for that matter.
If you'd like to find out what the rest of the ship is like, including the spa, adult-only area, and music venues, check out my full ship tour video on my UA-cam channel. / emmacruises .
To look at future cruises on Prima, check out Norwegian's website here: bit.ly/42kYvzZ.
When we embarked Norwegian Prima in New York City we headed straight to the biggest main dining room onboard, Hudson’s. Hudson’s is a complimentary restaurant meaning that everything here is included and the food is totally unlimited, I’ve been cruising with Norwegian since I was a child and I always loved going to the main dining room for lunch or dinner.
You could, in theory, eat here for every meal of the cruise but as there are lots of other options so I wouldn’t recommend just eating in one place for an entire cruise.
The restaurant has these amazing floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap right way around the sides meaning that whether you’re in a port or at sea, you always have a great view. I loved the design of the restaurant including these light fittings that I think look like butterflies that flutter slightly when the ships at sea.
The service was good, there was lots of choice on some of the biggest menus I’ve ever seen and we would end up visiting Hudson’s again for both breakfast and dinner during the cruise. There is a second main dining room restaurant onboard too which is a great option if Hudson’s is busy but we always picked Hudson’s because of the amazing views and we never had to wait for a table as the restaurant is massive.
One of my favourite things about cruising with Norwegian has always been the freestyle dining, which means that there are no set dining times for the main dining rooms and you just show up to eat when you’re hungry.
As well as the included main dining room there is included food in the buffet, the local and my personal favourite the indulge food hall but more about that later.
This video is just one part of a 5 part series, so I look forward to seeing you in the next video!

I just love EmmaCruises videos. This makes me really, really want to go on the Prima. Just to enter a daily food coma.😅
It's a tricky balance of not eating so much so you fall asleep... because I want to enjoy the ship, but also eat the food. Haha!
Agreed. I definately want to book a cruise on the Prima.
Emma for the win again! NCL couldn’t have found anyone better to convince me to go on a cruise for the first time.
You are so kind, thank you so much!! ❤
NCL - you picked THE BEST person to highlight your ship. Yea, Emma Cruises!!!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Emma is the best spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line ! Her reviews are honest and real, and her positive attitude is a feature of all of her cruise videos
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Thank You so much for having Emma on your channel. What a great team!!
Fun isn’t it?! Hopefully lots more to come!!! ❤🎉
NCL, you made a great choice by partnering with Emma Cruises! She is truthfully one of the best UA-camrs around right now, especially in the cruise industry. Emma, congrats on this very major and big accomplishment ❤ This just might get me to go from Royal to Norwegian!
You are so kind! Thank you! 😁❤
With a restaurant called Hudson's I wonder how long this partnership has been in the works! Thanks for bringing Emma on board with you. I love her content, and this ship looks wonderful!
Ha ha, sadly they named that restaurant before this but maybe one day they'll name something after the Captain!! ;) Thanks so much 🥹❤
@EmmaCruises has added a spectacular vibe to the NCL cruise videos! they all feel very authentic to what her reviews look like on her own channel, but she's focusing her very astute observations to specific things, and I LOVE!
Brava!!
Thanks so much! That was the aim, the content on my channel stays the same so nothing changes but I create bonus videos on specific things in more detail here. Theres no way I could fit Prima into one regular video! ha ha. :) More to come!!
Long time fan of NCL but having @EmmaCruises do these videos has made me even more of a fan!!! Looking forward to when I can cruise on Prima
Awwwh thanks so much!!! :)
Amazing video Emma. NCL are very lucky to work with you 😊
Thanks Tony 🥹
"desserts go into a different stomach." OK another Gem from Emma!
I absolutely will accept that as my tag line. 🤣
Completely agree with this!
Yum yum yum I am hungry all over again!! Ha ha. 🤤🤤
Great review. Emma
Think I’d have to pack the fat clothes for the last day if I went on that cruise plus I bet you the gym was covered in dust from lack of use 🤣🤭
@@Watson1973 Ha ha!! Yeah I'm not a fan of that. :')
you dont see this as a conflict of interests ?
Thumbs up for Emma Cruises. Cheers. Stay safe.
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
I always trust Emma's reviews and advice. Now I apparently need to go book another cruise 🚢
Ha ha I can’t be held responsible!!! 😂😂😂
Just gained 5 pounds from watching this alone... 🤤
Ha ha, worth it!! Especially the churros!
Just 5?
Emma is a favorite! Great choice, NCL. NCL is a favorite also, and in fact, I board the Prima in 3 days from now! NYC to Iceland!! And, a quick note about the Indulge Food Hall, no matter how quick they are, the guests are never rushed. You can order and order and order. Love it.
Thanks so much, you're very kind and I appreciate it! HAVE THE BEST TIME EVER!!! :-)
Emma has convinced me to go on a Prima cruise
Hey Charlie!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks @emmacruises! I wish every day life was like this. I don't know how anyone can complain about food on a cruise!
Ha ha, Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
You have convinced me I should never do a Norwegian cruise line. I think I would gain at least 5 kilos! That food looks incredible. I don´t think I could resist some serious overeating! 😮
Haha 😂😂😂
The food options on Prima look amazing & very tempting!! Yum 😋 Loved the video Emma
Thanks Ilana!! ❤🎉
This video is even better than the last video I watched on this channel!
Awh Bruce!!! Hopefully the next one too! 😂😂😂
I work for NCL, and this is a great video!!
Thank you! 😁❤️
You must have planned this to get me excited before I sail on Prima in 3 days! Thanks Emma!
You're very welcome!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Great timing! Have a wonderful trip Craig. I sail in 99 days 😊
Thank you, Emma, for sharing about all the food on the prima.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I love Emma! Thank you for having her on your channel. Her content is the best! Now I must add the Prima on my cruise list. 🤩
Woohoo!!! Thank you! 😁❤️
Couldn't agree more!!
@@norwegiancruiselineAwhhh you 🥹❤️
Love NCL and love Emma - such a great ambassador to the Prima
Thanks so much 🥹❤️
Love Emma Cruises videos! A classy informative cruise expert! I have booked cruises thanks to Emma and Captain Hudson!
Thank you! 😁❤
I love Enma's videos and feel like I can really trust her opinions. Her sunny outlook brightens my days. Prima looks amazing.
Oh my this is so kind, thank you so much!! :)
Another great video from Emma, and I'm impressed to see tofu on the menu! Prima looks like a good choice for the veggie cruisers.
I was happy to see it too! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I saw Emma of the Emma Cruises channel in your thumbnail and well that's an insta click. She had talked about sailin on the Prima but was saving this for your channel. Yes, she couldn't give you food higher marks and from what I saw in this video, it was well deserved. Emma is what is called a trusted source, so if she says the food was good, that's just truth. So now I know the Prima is, well Prima.
Yay!! Thanks so much. I was so full after this cruise, ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Well now I am very hungry! Great video, thanks for doing the tough work on this one 😊❤
🤣🤣🤣
Emma is the best. Cruises look like they would be a lot of fun. Maybe someday. Emma always makes me hungry, never fails
🤣🤣🤣
A great series. Makes me very interested in going in a cruise with you.
I would love more videos like this, specifically with such a strong videographer like Emma.
Thanks so much Marcus thats very kind! :)
Great Vid Emma, you have been cruising for so many years! Have you done a video about the best and worst cruise you have ever been on?
Helloooo!! I don’t think I could say an overall best or worst, theres too many factors like best itinerary best food, best company! 😂
Thank You Emma. You have done a wonderful job of describing all the amazing places to eat on Prima. The Indulge concept looks like a great place to eat.
Thank you! 😁❤
Kudos to @EmmaCruises for being invited to do these videos. Hope we can see more from her and that she can become NCLs official vlogger. Really eager to sail with NCL someday and these videos are tempting.
Thanks so much! Hopefully lots more to come ❤🎉
It’s hard job Emma, but someone’s got to do it! 😊
Heading on my first Norwegian cruise later this year, not my first cruise but taking my adult daughter on her first cruise.
Thank you Emma, we really appreciate your content.
Oooo!! That'll be awesome Have a great time! 🥳🥳
We have been sailing with NCL for almost 20 years now and have sailed on many of their ships. I have to say Hudson's is hands down my FAVORITE MDR. Once again, a great Video Emma
I think me too! Thank you! 😁❤
I loved your video on the Prima! In December, my husband and I took our 21y/o granddaughter! It was awesome! We were in the Haven, which is totally amazing! It was Elizabeth’s first cruise and she is hooked! She will graduate in May with a double major in Performing Arts Theatre and Performing Arts dance! Thanks for you wonderful and informative videos!
This just looks amazing. I need to make sure I include Prima in my next overseas holiday,.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Hell yeah. Give Emma Cruises her coin.
Hahaha, I love coins 🤣🪙
Thanks for sharing your experiences on Prima. The food venues look absolutely amazing. Glad to see some of my faves from NCL have remained but I'm looking forward to finding some new faves on Prima as well.
Make sure you go hungry!!! Ha ha. So much to eat. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Glad to hear a review from Emmacruise!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Amen to having a second stomach for desserts!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Another great video! My wife and I learned a lot. Thanks Emma!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Wow Emma this food looks delicious and amazing!!!! Definitely I agree dessert 🍨 goes into a second stomach hehehe
Maybe it's in a leg or something, I don't know where it is. 🤣
@@EmmaCruises haha! I agree! I’ve always said…”There’s always room for dessert 🧁!”
Been binging your videos whilst in hospital (for 7 weeks and counting), absolutely no intention of ever going on a cruise but I love the escapism of your videos Emma!
Oh my, I hope you are okay! Thanks for taking the time to write this that's very kind and much appreciated. :)
Ugh - I was in hospital for 3 weeks, and that was enough. Sending my best wishes to you.
It all looks absolutely delicious! Thanks Emma!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I've been on many NCL ship's. We always have a great time and really enjoy the food. Haven't been on Prima yet to try Indulge or Hudson's. Both looked so good. I'm not sure I would eat anywhere else. Lol. Thank you for showing this ❤
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼 🥳🥳🥳
Love Emma’s content! Thanks NCL!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
This was great. I hadn't considered a cruise with Norwegian previously but I'm definitely looking at one in 2024 now.
Hey Ruth!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Nice going Emma Cruises! Very nice video. I loved the Prima!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
The food looks amazing and what a beautiful ship! Hopefully we will sail on the Prima some day.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thank you Emma, we did Prima last Dec and they did set a bar on cruising. GREAT job NCL. currently booked ncl dawn to Europe on October 2023 n looking forward to it. We only roll with NCL!
Ooo exciting!!! Have a great time! 🥳🥳
That food hall is a game changer! Thanks for bringing us a look, Emma!
Hope it’s on all the future ships ❤🎉
I made an enormous mistake...I watched this video on an empty stomach! What an amazing lineup of restaurants; so many that you couldn't even fit them all in one week...talk about a massive incentive to book a new cruise while on board! I think all they'd have to do is show me the menus of the restaurants I hadn't made it to!
I've always thought that the quality and variety of dining options is what sets a cruise line apart. Any number of lines can take you to Bermuda. You'll find pools and bars and lounges on all of them. There's activities for all ages. But when the family or group comes together to sit around a table and enjoy each other's company, that's where dining quality separates the pearls from the oysters. From your video, Emma, I think I can safely say that the way to this man's heart is through Prima!
I warned you!!!! Ha ha. I knew you'd like the food. You've got to let me know how you find it when you go!! :)
@@EmmaCruises Oh, I think you'll definitely be my first text message on disembarking hahaha
Another great review! Thanks Emma! ❤
Thanks so much 🥹❤
I am glad you liked the pudding.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I’ve sailed on the Encore, and that was my first and only NCL experience so far. I absolutely loved the Encore, as well as most of the included dining. I’ll admit the MDR was something of a disappointment, but everything else was terrific.
Contrast to that, I just got off a sailing with Royal Caribbean a couple of weeks ago (Harmony of the Seas) and nearly all the included food was mediocre to terrible, which was surprising to me, because my past dining experience with them was incredible. I have to say, their menu changes in the MDR are not a good move for them.
But the Prima on the other hand - *WOW.* The included food looks exactly the same quality as specialty dining. That’s impressive. Been saying I need to get back with NCL, and this video proves it.
Yessssss! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Great job Emma!
Thank you! 😁❤️
This was such fun! I love Emma
Wow !! I love NCL and Emma Cruises! So glad this was a YT recommendation. Next cruise is Encore, 22OCT, Alaska
Yay! Good work UA-cam. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Love Emma and her channel. Definitely going to look at NCL in the future!
Hey Susan!! Thanks so much :)
Emma always doe the very best and informative videos. This will put the Prima on my cruise plan list.
Thanks Lou!!! 🤩
I want to cruise on Prima. Thanks NCL & Emma for this video.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
As someone who loves food markets indulge looks like the dream!
Yesssss! Its like that but... all free!! Ha ha.
When I learned that EmmaCruises was doing reviews for Norwegian I of course had to check it out. The ship seems amazing and the Pizza in particular looks fantastic! But as all of Emma's fans know, and Norwegian cruisers will learn...
If Captain Hudson says to do something... You do it!
So I will now have to book a cruise on Prima so I can try the guacamole!!! And maybe go for a spin on the go-carts! 😂😂😂😂
Ha ha!! YES!! I miss that Guacamole! :')
As a foodie, this looks like heaven! Thanks, Emma!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I love Emma’s videos and she has made me want to try but booked through 2025 cruises already
You're very kind and I appreciate it!! :)
Love this.. just eat dinner, but now I’m hungry again lol!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video again, Emma!
Thanks so much 🥹❤
Norwegian Cruise line could not have chosen a better representative for videos on your line. 😊
Thanks so much 🥹❤
I spent 12 days on the Prima and the food is the best thing about the ship! Too bad you didn't get to try Food Republic...it's another amazing restaurant (and a ton of food if you have the package),
Ooo yes!! So much food so little time!!!! So glad you enjoyed it :)
My wife and I used the dinner package at Food Republic. We had 8 delicious dishes altogether. We could not finish everything!! We loved it. We booked another cruise on the Prima already. We really enjoyed the food on this ship.
Hi Emma, I am not much of an NCL fan but you have me rethinking that. You made this look really good!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I was on the first 3 cruises open to the General Public . I love all the food especially the Steak and eggs at the main restaurant . The Entertainment was excellent . I did over over spend which will normally bother me but didn’t . The Theatre was big . I got to see every shows even if I have to wait. I didn’t like the small venue. The studio cabins and lounge was outstanding .
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
It looks awesome Emma - great vid and I definitely want to cruise with NCL soooo much!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks Emma for sending me here
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma has done a great job convincing me to overlook all the very bad reviews I've heard of Prima. Still very concerned about the reported over-crowding when the outdoor spaces aren't available (which they won't be in Iceland), but at least the menus seems to have started rotating like the other ships, so they're tweaking in response to feedback.
Hey Ian! I'm sure you'll have a great time!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma your the best you never complain amazing energy you have 😊⚓️ god bless be safe …
The ocean air makes you hungry and me following this excellent presentation of so many delicious meals 😋 at various places on NCL PRIMA 👍 ☺️
Haha! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
My next cruise is the Prima, so I was very excited to see a review on the restaurants and food. I pretty much had an idea from reading about most of them, but there’s nothing like being there. Thanks for helping out so much. I’m booking b4 I get onboard to ensure I get to eat at the ones I want.
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Now I really want to go on this one
Well now I'm hungry. Thanks, Emma! :) Looking at NCL for a Thanksgiving cruise now.
Mwahahaha. Thank you! 😁❤
I've only ever been on Royal but Emma might convince me to try something new.
Do it do it ;D Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Yummy! Thanks Emma!
Thank you! 😁❤
Love @EmmaCruises and the Prima is an amazing ship that we just got to do a cruise on 2 weeks after her.
Ooo!! Hope you enjoyed!!! :)
Emma and Capt Hudson!!
Ha ha. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I really like that the Hasuki chefs make your breakfast omelet in the buffet.
Ooo do they?!
We are thinking about a big family cruise on Prima next year. Ema makes it clear that we will all be able to find our dietary restrictions are available.
Woohoo! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I went on the Norwegian bliss few years ago from NY. to Florida to Bahamas its the only cruise ive ever been on ,and my trip was totally paid for even my specialty meals witch i only went to one and 2 regular restaurants but i enjoyed the buffet than any restaurant on the ship and gained more than 10 pounds
I love the way people from the UK try to pronounce Mexican dishes.
😂😂
The food looks so good. It was amazing on the Joy earlier this year also. I am trying to find a time to jump on the Prima early next year!
Have a great time! 🥳🥳
Just met Thomas Sala your moderator at Downtown Disney looking forward to your informative videos!! I would love to take a virgin cruise!!!
Yay Emma!!! I was recently on the Prima on the same route that you went on, and I can say that the food was all amazing! (The only exception was the Surfside Cafe, it didn't feel very special to me and food was just meh IMO. ) The view at Hudson's was so great, along with the one at The Commodore if you are lucky enough to get a window seat. The only specialty restaurants I went to were Cagney's and Le Bistro, but they were both amazing. I always went to The Local after coming back from something like the go-karts or pool, the pretzel bites to me were the highlight! Also one thing I must say is that Indulge is that I totally agree with you for Indulge Emma!! The ordering is so quick yet so good! It's definitely very unique to see the tablet ordering and I really enjoyed it. In general, I just really enjoy cruising with NCL and hope you do more NCL videos!!! Bye!!!!!
(this is pretty much the video i've been waiting for since I started watching sooooo yeah haha)
Yesss!! So glad you enjoyed!! Thank you! 😁❤
Emma. How in the world do you stay so slim when you’re going to eat all of that food you’re just amazing!
Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
So cool that the restaurant was called Hudson’s 😂😻
Soooo cool!!!! :)
Amazing recommendations, especially coming from our vegetarian Emma!
I ate so many nachos 🤣🤣🤣
Miss Emma; many of us really enjoy your videos. My wife and I really love NCL for freestyle dining and free at sea promotions. We have sailed on the NCL Dawn (Feb. 2020) Encore (Sep. 2022) and Joy (Jan 2023) and have been lucky enough to enjoy The Haven on the Encore & Joy. We really like NCL>
Oooo amazing!!! :)
Another well made video from EmmaCruises. I see a sailing on Prima in my future. After seeing the decor and food options on this ship in this video, how could you NOT want to sail on her? Especially since I have learned that desserts go into a different stomach.
Yeah!! It’s science!! 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Thanks for another great review! Other than free v cost, how was Indulge compared to Food Republic? I have the worse timing, never showed up to Indulge when it was open 😞 Sounds amazing and would love to see it on more ships.. esp since it is comp.
Oh man! I’ve not been in food republic so somebody else can answer better than me I’m sure but I think it’s more of a planned meal rather than like indulge where you get all random things together 😂😂
