Thank you so much - good to know - splurging on this cruise - pricey - and just want to make sure we can get in to Coastal Kitchen. Thanks for your response!

On Celebrity if in a suite or aqua class - no reservations are taken for Laminae or Blu - we never had to wait for a table. I know one must make reservations for Coastal Kitchen on Icon - those of you that sailed - did you have trouble securing a reservation for the time you wanted to dine? We always like to go around 6 - just curious with a ship this large if reservations are difficult? Please advise - I read before you cannot make reservations till on board - Thank you!

Merion_Mom - you are the best - you have answered many questions for us throughout the years - sometimes I asked or someone else had the same question I did. You are a long time CC member - I feel cruise critic readers were more friendly in the past - some people get mad if you ask a question - say why did you not do a search - sometimes that does not work - thank you for your kindness all these years!!!

Thanks for your responses - we still have a decent time to embark - "the early bird gets the worm." I guess I needed to be earlier.

We are booked for Beyond March 11 - I went online at 6 am to do check in (first day available). The earliest boarding time was 12 to 12:30. Has this changed - in the past we boarded 10:30 to 11:00. Since I checked in at 6 am - I was surprised this was the earliest time. Did Celebrity change this to allow more time to prepare ship for new passengers or were that many people checking in BEFORE me. Not a big deal, but have always enjoyed getting on the ship early - seems like almost an extra day vacation. Thanks for your comments.

We are booked in a Grand Suite on Icon - confused about dining - I know breakfast and lunch are both walk in when you are ready to dine. Some places I read you must make reservations for dinner and other places it says NO reservations are made - the same as breakfast and lunch. Also, when in a suite is there NO charge for delivery of room service ? Thanks for clarifying -

We are booked in an Aqua class cabin and most nights will be dining in Blu. We have friends sailing with us NOT in Aqua Class and some nights we want to dine with them in some of the 4 MDR's offered. Must we make reservations? Or can we just walk up since we have anytime dining in Blu? Also, when we sailed on Beyond last year we were allowed to invite a couple sailing with us to Laminae (they were not suite guests). A fee had to be paid - do you think we will be able to get our friends in BLU one night for dinner if we pay? I am thinking if we dine earlier this might work, when it is not as crowded?

I thank you for your response - I TOTALLY agree with you respect the line - I was just asking as I know on another cruise line at the check in desk - left was for those with reservations - right was for walk ins?

Quick question for those of you onboard Prima last 14 days - we are in a suite (but NOT Haven - that is all that was left when we booked). We made reservations for all dinners - do they have a different line at check in at various restaurants for those WITH reservations? We found this a problem on another cruise line - had to wait it a long line even though we had reservations - thanks for any information.

Appreciate the time you took to show us the interior shots - keep them coming MUCH appreciated. Not sailing till August but very much look forward to seeing more!

Does anyone know when NCL starts to decorate their ships for Christmas? Sailing December 1 - hoping to see some - cruising till the 15th, so some should be displayed by then??

Thanks for that information - maybe some hope - booking engine shows NO Haven suites left - makes sense autogenerated - I had hoped that meant Haven slots open but maybe not

I went to roll call thread and asked to be added to your group - we are Judy and Dennis from PA - thanks for asking us to join you since we booked so late .

Thank you SO much for posting all those pics and information on embarkation day and sail away. We are boarding Dec 1 in NYC for the reposition cruise and look forward to more pics and comments and advice as you make your way to NYC! Wishing you smooth sailing - great service and food - appreciate the time you are taking to do this!!! We made a bid on Haven - but not expecting anything. We were scheduled to sail March of 2025 and got an email from NCL saying that cruise from NYC was canceled. So when we booked this cruise there were no Havens left - so surprised we got a letter to bid??? Matters not - ship looks classy - and look forward to this cruise.

Sailing Prima - Dec 1 - NYC to Galveston - repositioning cruise . I keep getting emails to bid up to Haven; yet website shows all cabins in Haven booked. I was wondering if anyone sailing on Dec 1 - has had a successful bid up and to which level cabin. Thank you!
