26 January 2023Structural and Technical Issues

(CruiseMapper emailed report by Leo Sterk)

Something was up with Norwegian Prima in Grand Cayman today (January 26, 2023). From NCL Dawn, we observed tender-type vessels pushing on the ship next to an anchor line in the water. Sometimes bow thruster water flows could be observed. Eventually, the starboard anchor was retrieved and stowed.

Later at NCL Prima's departure, a large tender-type boat was positioned port side near an open forward sea door. It revved its props mightily and sometimes a bang could be heard indicating the tender was pressing on Norwegian Prima.

Note: The accident report relates to the 7-day "Atlantis Prima Caribbean Cruise" (itinerary Jan 22-29, roundtrip from Port Canaveral/Orlando, Florida USA) visiting Mexico (Cozumel/Jan 24, and Costa Maya/Jan 25), Grand Cayman Island (George Town Harbour/Jan 26, port stay 11 am - 6 pm) and The Bahamas (Great Stirrup Cay/Jan 28).

April 2022Structural and Technical Issues

On April 28, 2022, NCL officially canceled the ship's Maiden Voyage citing "ongoing supply chain challenges" (caused by the COVID crisis and the Russia-Ukraine conflict).

Norwegian Prima's inauguration was rescheduled to August 17th. The 8-night Europe (Baltic and Iceland itinerary) was planned to depart from Amsterdam and end in Reykjavik (on Aug 25th), with call ports in Belgium (Brussels), Norway (Bergen, Geiranger), and Iceland (Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik).

Following the cancellation, Prima’s Maiden Voyage was rescheduled for September 3rd. The 10-night itinerary from Amsterdam to Copenhagen (Sept 3-13) visited ports in Germany (Kiel, Warnemunde-Rostock), Poland (Gdynia-Gdansk), Estonia (Tallinn), Sweden (Stockholm), Denmark (Copenhagen).

All affected bookings were fully refunded (100% of the original payment method, including bookings using FCCs/future cruise credits). As compensation, all FCC bookings received a 25% discount on another voyage (combinable with all available at the tome NCL promo offers) through December 31, 2023. NCL also covered up to US$ 300 pp for all flight change fees.
