What to know before you book

Cabin tips

Standard Balcony staterooms are about 186 sq ft of cabin plus a 45 sq ft balcony (roughly 231 sq ft total) 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.
