biggest question is if the third ship will be a plus ship or the same then 1 and 2.

sadly no news for viva, no official for beetljuice.

but for sure the longest race track ever 😀

i like the ship class seaside and seaview very much and cruised with them before, booked seaview and seashore for may at the med. ( but only cruised MSC at yachtclub in the past and in the future )

i don´t care what others think.

family with kids late night until midnight is normal with italy families on board and  underage kids at clubs too. maybe that is more normal for italian and europeans. But didn´t watched the video.

I've gotta say that NCL has upped their game with this food hall. Everything I've had so far has been great.

yes great things to eat there, loved the tomato soup and the pulled pork burger at lunch there,

enjoy your cruise and have a good time, thanks for posting.

i was twice at seaview yachtclub and one time at seaside. In may this year i will go seaview and seashore in yachtclub inside. ( all cruises for a price that i pay for a inside at NCL ). it is not so much luxus but a great product. never cruised haven at NCL so i can´t compare it to haven.

i think msc and ncl have many things the same at this ship class. great parties, many live music. yes shows in theater are better at NCL and food is better at NCL. But i´m OK with what MSC is doing/offer.

love the yachtclub very much, top sail lounge ist awesome. you can take breakfast at the yachtclub Restauarant or at the top deck outside. i did breakfast mostly at the top deck.

top sail lounge at yachtclub seaview

with yachtclub is the mini bar, internet and drinking package inclusive and spa and the yachtclub area also the Aurea area ( at my Europe booking and cruises ). At embarkation you have to look for the yachtclub embarkation, it is a own desk there somewhere.

at the top sail lounge they serve tea times at many days at 4pm or so, very nice with something to eat and celebrating tea.

my favourite desssert, the ice pyramide ( with ice cream inside )

if someone want to try msc the first time look for their status match before, MSC give you a higher status at their loyal program if you have a latitutes status for example at NCL or something.

Saw a video that the emergency sprinklers at the theater set the complete theater under rainfall water. Do someone know what happened?

do they play know other games there or only the price is right?

read that that some whirlpool don’t work and other things are damaged? Or not in good shape for a new ship? 
 

 Don’t see noise boys at the homepage for the prima. Is the show still on board?

paxe payhing higher service charge and NCL paying the staff less money.

pay more get less, and pay for everything extra,

the new premium NCL.

The biggest flaw in the postings/complaints from the people on this forum is that they are trying to compare the features of the Prima to her distant cousin, the BA+ Escape. The thing that people fail to recognize and acknowlege is that the Prima is a smaller ship. 3100 passengers compared to 4266 passengers. Rather than compare the features of the Prima to the Escape, people should be comparing the Prima to the Jewel.

but you can´t compare  a new ship to a about 20 year old ship.

Escape is very popular so i think it is normal to compare a new ship  with a popular ship.

Many poeple find the Prima very crowded, that is a problem of the design and how they use the space.

i know, you write now if they make popular things bigger they feel anyway crowded because of ......

but i don´t share that opinion

i like the Prima but the ship has some mistakes what they should change for the next ships

to collect here all:

@FreestyleNovice everything ok? misses posts from you since a while

not &juliet but ok

then should come shortly more informations from NCL, hope so

at the moment it is not clear if the third ship will be a Prima+ ( Bigger ) ship or not.

And if there will be some changes.

But delays are normal at the Moment.

Meyer will have with a Carnival Jubilee a delay too

2025 is Viva at summer in Europe again, many cruises are open to book now in the med.

mostly same cruises for Prima in northern Europe then the years before are open to book now for 2025 too.

Quite about prima and viva. 
has ncl still some pr employees? 

Have they ever played now supermarket game show at prima? No noise boys ncl trailer at YouTube? I think ncl fired all pr employees.

in the past ncl had great videos with the crew, or musicians, sadly they did this not more. 

they can send me a advent calendar then I post more :-)))

but the &juliet show rumor is still current. 
ok that is my rumor but never mind :-))

( btw. Today is premiere/ opening night at broadway for &juliet )

i cruise solo,

i would say people at cruises are social. sometimes a small talk, sometimes longer.

the roll calls here are a good way to get in contact with other peoples and you / or some in the roll call can organize meetings/activities.

search your cruise:

delay of ship 3+4, so no ship 2024

The third ship is now expected in first quarter 2025 instead of Q4 2024, and the fourth ship in Q1 2026 instead of Q3 2025.

https://www.seatrade-cruise.com/shipbuilding-refurb-equipment/supply-chain-issues-delay-ncls-third-and-fourth-prima-class-ships

in Germany it is now a 50% Deal discount, but prices are same or feels higher then before with the 40%.

NCL thinks the people are dumb.

if they do new ports because of storm people are mad,

if the ship is going through the storm people are mad how NCL can risk their lifes.

people are always mad these days.........

No, but people are complaining that the Observation Lounge is small and that they can never get a seat. I’m just pointing out that the Observation Lounge on Encore is much bigger, and you still can’t get a seat. It makes sense that the Observation Lounge on Prima is smaller, as it’s a smaller ship with less people. It’s not a problem unique to the Prima, chair hogs or not.

but then you should tell us about the quantity of seats of both observatins lounges in relations to the max. paxe of both ships. then we can talk about if it is smaller, same or bigger.

if the observation lounge at encore is always full my plan would be to make it bigger at Prima if i was NCL. i would give the people what they like.

But the thing is…on the Encore it’s much bigger…and I still couldn’t get a chair. More space = more chair hogs to curl up and nap all day. It’s all relative.

 

I meant to ask re: the theater to club conversion. While it’s a nice concept for space-saving, is there a bar in there/easily accessible? Does anyone know? Would be weird if you have to hang out/dance in there but have to leave to the lobby or something to get drinks…

with that logical you can made itsmaller. Because smaller less chair hogs? Can’t follow that. 
chair hogs is the question if ncl clear them or not. 
 

the theather has two bars at deck 6. But at the parties they have two tables there to sell drinks at the dance floor. 

At my two cruises the vibe was in the evening only for vibe guests too. 
 

syd and improve are much to small and had a bad layout.  
at improv you see the stage only at the seats at the left good. And at shows or music groups there you don‘t see the faces of the people who are standing left at the  stage. 
 

oberservation lounge was in the evenings mostly empty but at sail aways or See days complete full. Sometimes I didn‘t got a chair there. 

you can put  shops at some other places and not for a huge glass front.

if they charge for food hall that would be a ko to not book the ship again,

because the surfside is so small, that it will be much more chaotic when they charge for food hall.

do they have ship models again? staff said they become new in the usa

The most important improvement on the Prima is the arrival of mini Freestyle machines for Freestyle Cruising!  No clunky RFID cups like the other guys. Just swipe you key card and fill any glass you want!

 

In the studios it worked without card at my cruises. But didn‘t taste very well, not sure if it is because of the water ?
