What to know before you book
Cabin tips
Balcony staterooms start at a roomy 231 square feet and feel larger than mini-suites on older ships. For a splurge, book a Deck 16 balcony cabin that includes unlimited Thermal Spa access.
Dining
Prima carries around 15 dining venues. The standout is Indulge Food Hall, where you order from multiple restaurants on a tablet and everything arrives at your table. Onda by Scarpetta and Palomar (seafood) are the top specialty picks.
Entertainment
The Prima Theater and Club hosts shows like The Price is Right LIVE alongside original productions. Outside the theater, you will find Bull's Eye (a high-tech darts bar) and the Prima Speedway go-kart track.
