You can expect between 3292 to 3950 passengers on a typical sailing. This means that at the higher number (usually peak and holiday sailings) Norwegian Prima has a space ratio of 36.1 . (A space ratio less than 33 means that you may find the ship crowded in areas. A space ratio greater than 39 means that there should be plenty of space for each passenger.) When this ship isn't sailing at capacity the space ratio can be as good as 43.3.
