Since there isn't a new thread for Leo #3, tomorrow is the big day for Aqua.

NCL has hinted on that other site that 11/2 is the big day.

Aqua did show up this morning on the NCL site but has now been removed

 

thank you, then hoping for some news tomorrow.

I thought we had a name - Aqua.  And I am going with Velva for the 4th ship 🙂  

but it is not official yet from NCL?

still missing the third ship at he NCL Page.

@FreestyleNovice are you motivated to open a thread for ship three? or do we wait for the Name?

here to see at 3:33 if i´m not wrong. be curios if NCL corrects error or make more? What destination the ship will be.

Thank you. Did you have issues with elevators being slow or crowded spaces? Any other significant issue during your cruise? 

 

Thanks 

i walked the stairs mostly, only sometimes in the evening i used the elevators.

I was at yachtclub,

No special issues. The normal things liked crowded buffet for example or if eveyone want to leave the ship at first.

i was in May this year on seashore and liked it.

I thought the Harr Travel walk thru on you tube was the best video of the Viva so far. It’s pretty extensive. I also saw a good Forbes article that covers 5 differences between Viva and Prima. There’s a few config/seating changes. 

 

some differences to Prima, ( i watched not the complete vid, only the things i was looking for )

19:38 covered smoking area

33:07 new things at the galaxy

58:20 little of beetlejuice stage

at 1:11:00  old arcade games instead of table kicker.

at 1:13:00 the tables in front of the big scrren are now in a other position or?

at 1:19:00 not the starbucks at food hall

1:21:09 ice cream is new?

1:23:10 new Art

1:29:10 the art wall (Butterfly ), but not in service

The carpet has the same triangles as the prima. Was a other carpet what I saw before. 

At seashore the shows there was free. You could come and go like you want. Shows was ok. 
 

At your room with the make room button is also a don‘t disturb button. Some people have it at don‘t disturb and wonder why no one make the room. 
 

Wish you both a great cruise. I Love that ship class and will follow. 

miss the tea time at Yachtclub :-))

the financial times articel was updatet with a Meyer statement. Meyer says none of their ships are affected. But i´m not sure if they mean only the ships under constructions or all ships?

wonder if they have to replace Panels at Viva too? But maybe enough time to change them.

https://www.ft.com/content/8cfa4fdf-6d8d-486f-8be9-e14cafb36a43

with google search i could read the articel without paywall.

Fincantieri used Panels what lost their fire certifacations, they had that but lost it after new tests, sounds a little strange, because the new tests weren´t necessery at the moment.

That is, why they didn´t deliver the Explora 1. They have to replace the panels first to get the class for the ship. that is the reason why the ship will have a delay of some weeks now.

MSC Seaview, because my first, love that ship class, best MSC Shows of what i saw.

( But i cruised 3 times Seaview, 1 Seaside, 1 Seashore, at Seashore i loved the two Pianos at the chocolate bar )

Have there been any recent photos of her at Marghera? Curious if you can see Prima 3 under construction yet. 
 

By the way - I’m thinking #3 will be named Bella. just a guess….
 

PR1MA

V!VA

B3LLA

 

 

Yes. Prima 3 is in the dock now. 

if you book in advance for next year read before the information about the status match what is possible for voyager club.

here is a thread for example ( i think there are more threads about here ) and a link, maybe that is something for you.

ice pyramid

.with ice cream in the middle

wish you a great cruise,

MSC is not perfect but love the Seaside and the yachtclub there very much. Great area with the private sun deck and lounge and great staff.

And you can walk from the sun deck to the aurea sun deck and the middle/aft are of the top deck.

At gala dinner the ice pyramid is my favourite dessert.

And if you are hungry you can order more courses, for example 2 entrees or so, that is no problem.

Viva will be christened on November 28 in Miami.

interesting that they do it so late.

Prima. There are no pictures of the Viva yet as far as I know. The carpet may not even be installed yet, at least not everywhere.

i saw pics and vids from viva inside, but can´t post them here

@FreestyleNovice

where are you?

missing the everything..... 3??

is that pic from prima or viva? the carpet i saw at viva looked different,

but maybe it was crew area , not sure

escape i love.

meant the user bird, he tells that all the people who write something bad about prima :-)))

sorry, was more a fun post.

i was three weeks at prima, some things i liked, some things not, but many things feel to small and crowded,sadly. like many people wrote here.

and that should now not sound  bad, but if i can chose the room, i would not book a rom above or under or next to public rooms.

if the carpert is everywhere what i saw you will not see longer what is front and back,

but not sure if the pic was from crew area or guest area,

if you be at the viva post a pic.

David and Stephanie Paige will do Music at the ship, starting August.

You can't argue with NCL cheerleaders.

missing the birdy with you can´t compare prima to the big ships, you should compare to the small ships and that could happen to you at every other cruise line too. :-)))))
