Not the best weather but the whirlpool at Yachtclub at the front was warm and empty. 
 

now dinner:

Didn‘t saw my butler by now.after boarding you wait at the top lounge and then they show you your room. Normal you see then your butler. This time he was not there and the girl said he will introduce in the evening. But will not be many time in the room. But i‘m not so the butler Typ and don‘t need him really. 
But the last cruises I could tell him and it worked. I use only the included things and I’m fine with that every day( they fill up daily ) 
one bottle of wine / sparkling wine or something is inclusive for your cruise and you can tell him what you want. 
 

other things to pay for also.

good bye Genoa 

love that atrium. Sail away party at atrium because of little rainy weather. 

Mini Bar at Yacht Club. Softdrinks and Beer and also coffee and tea are inclusive.

i like the view back from the outside area at the toplounge. I like the lounge there very much. Later a pic without people. 

small snacks are there the whole day.

And a nice view outside. 

Yachtclub Director is:

Gustavo Rascovsky.

the atrium at the casino

Formula  one at the sport bar. There are smaller areas  like that.for private watching.  Or a big screen and screens at the bar

aloah cocktail and pizza.

Hope your trip goes well. Who is the Yacht Club director on the ship?  And the hotel director?

Thanks. I don‘t know.  Where can I see it? Will have a look for that. 

Boarded today the seashore. 
was before two times at seaview and one time seaside.I’m at a Yachtclub inside. And a platinum voyager club member. 
if someone has questions I try to answer them.  
sometime I will post something. We will see how offen.:-))) I’m from Germany so my English is only school English as second language. 

today in the morning the arriving at Genoa. 

My room

the sexy aft, sky walk or how the name is is repaired. 
but the kids water park is closed for renovation , how old is the ship?

is the party then for all? or the pool deck etc. then private for the group only?

in german, but here you can the see the butterfly Art at the bar.

the butterflys are changing.

The Concourse with six Skulpturen from artist like  Kevin Box, Arik Levy und Sophie Elizabeth Thompson zur Schau stehen.

not sure if you know that,

there are special forums for the ports here at cc:

only for your information

love London, stay there some days is great.

is it the first cruise in october? and you will be at october 3rd/4th in Hamburg?

the Oct. 3rd is a festival day in germany for the german east and west reunion, so most shops will be closed at this day. ( restaurants and such things will be open )

i like Hamburg very much,

the miniatur wunderland i like realy mucht, if you want to go there i would give you the advice to buy tickets in advance at the website. special for the fistival day ( most people don´t have to work at that day, but museums, the miniatur wunderland and such things are open )

not far away is the elphilharmonie, you can go there to the plaza for free ( you get a ticket there at the desk just in time when you want to go )

your cruise port will be in steinwerder:

https://www.cruisegate-hamburg.de/en/terminals/cruise-center-steinwerder/page5?showcanceled=0#anlaeufe

to walk to the Landungsbrücken ( tourist hot spot at the harbour and a metro station is there ) is via Elbtunnel ( tunnel under the river elbe, it is a tourist hot spot too ) about 45 Minutes. not sure if NCL offers a shuttle to the city or harbour.

from monday to friday there is a ferry not far away from Argentinienbrücke to Landungsbrücken

https://hadag.de/en/routes/73/

but i´m not sure if the ferry is in service at a festival day ( festival days are offen like sunday, and sunday is that ferry line not in service ) . Argentienbrücke you can see at the map, it is maybe 10 minutes to walk from Steinwerder.

love the yachtclub inside, price is good for a solo cruiser.

short walk to the private sun deck, lounge and restaurant ( at the seaside class for example ).

and a own room for you.

Tried that but no cabins, but after the 7th call we got the seashore from Marseille. Luck Was with us. Happy cruising 😀

i´m boarding the seashore at 29th in Genova.

Boarding after that cruise the seaview if not getting cancelled.

I will cruise with her in May. Dry dock after 5 years, but seems a long one so maybe they make some things new.

 interested, if someone know some details.

I thought this was announced previously, but I could be mistaken about that.

 

Personally, I'm hoping that NCL can snag Spamalot one of these days...

Only a cast audition for the show was announced.  Not a official statement of ncl for the show for Viva.

Personally, I like the go-carts.  They’re fun.  So is Laser Tag.  Rock walls were never my thing, though.  I think that was Sheehans’ idea.

Rock walls need not much space. 
so it is not that they use a whole sun deck or H2O for that. 
 

and it‘s not about good or bad go karts. 
It was for people who said del rio had nothing to do with decision of ncl.

Well, FDR took over at NCLH...not at NCL, so we need to keep that in mind.

 

When you say "a lot of it was not good", is that not good in your personal opinion, or not good in the opinion of the BOD of NCLH?

And if you hear him talking you know many changes did come from him. 
 

I don‘t know why some user always writes he has nothing to do with ncl. 
 

the go karts was his thing too. Because of a idear of his grandson. 

I will not miss him. 
hope not that his son  Took over. 
 

what is Andy doing?

We've spent 25 nights on the Prima and went to the buffet for dinner zero times. Had 9 specialty, 1 Local, 6 Hudson's and 9 Indulge Food Hall.

Syd's had 5 shows per week on our recent B2B that we just got off of.  We waited in line for 90 minutes prior to entry and got the best seats.  It's not for everyone, but we thought they were the best entertainment on board.

i spent 21 nights on the Prima,

and yes i like the Buffett food at NCL; not every Night, speciality i had 6 in that time. Indulge i liked more for Lunch.

90 minutes Standing in Line for a 60 Minutes shows is nothing what i would like or do.

that changes sounds good,

would love a piano bar and more seating at indulge food hall.

thanks, yes i read it in the morning, but mostyl marketing for me,

we want that syd is packed ( and people can´t go in because it is to full every night and a bad layout with bad standing area) is no answer for me.

or to cut the second show for given the paxe a better entertaiment, that is to reduce costs.

or people liked the pooldeck at deck 8 mor then the pooldeck at the top, maybe that is beacause the pool deck at the top is awesome small.

and much more.

i said it before, i like the prima and would cruise with that class again. but the ship could easily be much better if they changed some thingsl.

The buffet is small, but has the same selections and sections as the Breakaway and plus class ships. Syd's on the Prima is the same size as Syds on the other ships in the fleet.  If you want to see comedy, the theater has family and 18+ shows.

at my last cruises at the away ships they had every evening Pizza and a crepes station, did that changed? At Prima i had a creppes station 2 times a week and pizza every second evening.

syd was packed and much to full at the away ships too. so hoped NCL learned something and did a better job at a new ship.

The buffet is a perfect size for a 3100 passenger ship. And they have added a new complimentary restaurant, Indulge Food Hall. We have been on the Prima twice and did not notice that the buffet was any more crowded than other NCL ships. For breakfast and lunch, they also use the Food Republic for seating (setting up drink stations there). 

 

At least they are not like Royal Caribbean with the PA announcements in their buffet "If you are done stuffing your face, get out so more people can stuff their face". 

do you get money from NCL?

maybe the other shows like supermakket are at the next ships, maybe one game show each ship?

But wonder if NCL pay two people only for the price is right or do they something other then that show? At my 3 weeks on Prima i saw them both at the price is right only, but the Moderator was awesome.

like it was written, 3+4 goes bigger too, maybe NCL knows the mistakes of this class and change them.

we will see. and 5+6 bigger again.

i have booked thís year two cruises with MSC sisters ships Seaview and Seashore,

pay for a inside yachtclub room the same then for Prima/Viva studio room.

but maybe 2024 i will test the Viva.
