Cruises are a very poor way to visit Iceland. The stops are for less than a day, so you barely get a taste of Iceland.

Take a look at the Cruise Critic website. I don't know about NCL as I don't cruise with them anymore, but I have come across comments on other cruise lines that weather conditions around Iceland has kept various ships from docking in their scheduled ports. Also, the Prima is huge. Check and see if you are docking or tendering ashore. That will affect your real time in port.Read reviews and comments so you won't be disappointed.
For Norway, we cruised with Hurtigruten on the Coastal route in 2023 from Kirkenes to Bergen. But that cruise line and it's ships are the opposite of NCL.

We have done a cruise out of England that stopped in two ports in Norway as well as one day in Iceland, as well as Glasgow, Dublin, Belfast and Liverpool. It was a great cruise, but if you really want to see more of Norway and Iceland, there are other options.
We took a 8 day tour of Iceland, doing the Ring Road as well as Reykjavík. The tour was with Nordic Visitor and a great tour.
Also, we did another trip taking a Royal Caribbean cruise that included 8 ports in Norway all the way to the North Cape.
That trip was amazing, many of the ports we visited had fantastic fjords that we enjoyed as well as the ports and excursions to wonderful mountain scenery.
