Classic vs Premier Cabanas at GSC
Seas2mountains replied to eva2015's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Do you mean the older Oceanfront ones vs. the newer Lagoon ones? -
Was it more beautiful than Alaska? The views within and while entering and departing Geiranger Fjord were spectacular. The waterfall in the port made it even more special. This cruise just added more fjords to our bucket list to view in the future. Norway, Scotland, Iceland, New Zealand and Chile. The views were also amazing going into and departing Isafjordur and other ports, too. We loved the canals in Bruges, Amsterdam and Alesund. Besides being so beautiful, Alaska has advantages with the following: ✔️Great views while cruising between ports even at 11pm that can be seen when the sun is still out. ✔️More wildlife sightings We loved the ports on this cruise. This cruise had advantages with: ✔️Historical buildings, art and learning about the history of each area in general. ✔️Learning about other countries, cultures and some food with the limited port stops.

Final thoughts on Prima. I highlighted what we liked but did not list what we didn't like as many of those items have been covered by others. - Hudson’s Dining Room - Wow on the views! - Vibe - The Infinity hot tubs and peacefulness of the area along with the dedicated bar servers. - Spa - The separate relaxation for the heated lounge chairs and other lounge chairs a was wonderful addition although the choice of being below the fitness center wasn't so good with weights being dropped along with the sound of the treatmills. We also liked the heated pool with side jets and the warm salt pool. We did use some of the special sauna and treatment rooms but did not use all due to time limitations. It did not feel crowded, and we didn’t have to choose a specific time to go there on the sea day to find a heated lounge chair. This is our favorite spa. Is there another cruise line that has a spa that can be compared to this one? - Los Lobos and Onda – outdoor dining areas were nice with heaters in the ceiling. I only realized today that Palomar had an outdoor eating area. - Concept of Indulge Food Hall. The food was served faster than The Local from our experience, while we personally weren't big fans of the menu we know others are and we think this is a wonderful restaurant addition! - Outdoor seating for The Local and Indulge was a nice addition but could only be used on nice weather days. - Atrium – We liked this area with the live entertainment but agree there isn’t enough seating. I liked how much light from the windows was in this area on all three floors. - Service – we had excellent service in almost all situations. We had quick bar service in the lounges in the evening. - Lounge musical entertainment – We were happy with the two duos, Essence Duo and Duo Rika, band, Familiar Strangers, and guitarist, Juci Do Carmo. We are in the minority that we tend to prefer listening to these groups rather than going to the theater for the shows but we did like Donna Summer. We had heard Duo Rika and Familiar Strangers when we were on the Bliss, I believe that was the ship? - We liked how some nightly games were held in Improv at Sea with about one game in the atrium. It meant we could park in the atrium to listen to music for most of the evening without having to change locations. - Overall look with decorating choices. We have no reservations about booking another cruise on Prima as long as we like the itinerary despite some of the recent NCL cuts.
