  1. Hi,

     

    We are sailing out of Florida and it turns out the itinerary (and cost) that fits the grownups needs happens to be a Marvel day sea cruise. It's almost $2k cheaper than a regular Disney cruise.

     

    My daughter... could care less for Marvel and is more interested in princesses.

     

    How is the theming? Is it too in your face? Just want to really weight our budget vs what our daughter will be most interested in. If there's enough princess stuff and the MDAS is only one day, maybe we'll just go with it.

    Bought day pass directly from Playa Mia website.  Took a taxi from the port area. 

     

    Was it hard to get a taxi back from Playa Mia to go to the port?

  3. I see $250 for 250k LP, $500 for 400k LP and $750 for 600k LP

     

    Was able to snag for myself during the day from my phone and just now for my wife on computer so it doesn't seem like the old days when they were very limited.

     

    The terms are funny. The emails  says redeem reward by March 2 under information but under the terms and conditions book by expiration of March 31.

    I just take a cab or Uber from my hotel to the port. No way would I drag luggage thru any city to save a few bucks. 

     

    Agree. Want to be fresh for that embarkation photo and save my energy for exploring the ship!

     

    OTOH.... maybe I should earn that first buffet lunch and get some steps in first.....

     

    In all seriousness, kudos for @smitheroo for walking it and sharing her experience. But it's not something I would endeaver to take on to kick start my day.

     

  5. Anyone know the outside date for booking with a $ off coupon now? I'm looking for sailing in July 2024 but I know that sometimes the coupons say they have to be used earlier.

    Booked Alaska today using mine and husband's $750 off rewards. Was also able to use his military discount and cruise first cert. I really wanted to go to Alaska in August but with these savings I had to book now and not take a chance these rewards would show up again next year.

    They let you use 2x $750 off on one booking?!

  7. I'd seen some complaints about the MDR on Prima not changing the menu but after looking at a sample menu, I though it was fantastic and better than a rotating menu. The rotating menus on other ships would occasionally not have something that I'm interested in but the larger static menu looked great. I'm actually looking forward to a larger menu that doesn't change!

  8. I've provided a trade confirmation prior to my last cruise because I made the trade about a month before embarkation and did not have a statement yet. I also redacted my account number. The OBC was credited to my account relatively quickly.

     

    I actually prefer the trade confirmation bc so much less information is on it. I'll have to redact so much more from the monthly statement so they don't see all my losses!

    You can always get tags from the porters

     

    Yeah I don't even bother preparing my own.

     

    In general, I'm an overthinker but I don't think this is something to worry about.

     

    I also don't have a color printer at home (and don't want to print it at work) and don't want to worry about finding a stapler on vacation.

     

    The porters are prepared for the unprepared - of which in this manner.. I am one of those.

     

    Enjoy your vacation!

    On that part I don’t agree! There are 3 outdoor pools, actually 4 if you consider the haven pool as well. There are 2 really nice infinity pools on deck 8 on either side of the ship, and when we were on the Prima we actually preferred the infinity pools on deck 8 over the top deck pool. 
    Keep in mind that the Prima class of ships has a completely different concept, so keep an open mind and I am sure that you guys will enjoy it. 

     

    Don't have the budget for Haven so it's 3.

     

    As far as the infinity pools go I am excited about it but they don't strike me as the type of pools that a child could swim in. I hope I'm wrong in my expectation that it will be packed shoulder to shoulder in there.

     

  11. I can't possibly catch up on 24 pages here.

     

    I just booked Prima for a Western Caribbean Cruise in Feb 2024. I'll be travelling with my wife and little one (who will be turning 5 around the trip).

     

    We picked Prima bc it is one of the newest ships but after booking, we started watching videos and realized that 1) the aqua park is sad 2) there's only one pool.

     

    What is everyone's thoughts on Prima for kids in kindergarten?

    I just booked my first NCL award, a $250 off cert.  I didn't know how this all worked, and wasn't expecting the $79 fee, but I guess it's still $170 off the cost of the cruise for paying nothing to MyVegas.  I was also able to combine this with a $250 cruise next cert, and a 50% off coupon that NCL was kind enough to deposit on my account.  Made for a good value when it was all done

    congrats! I'm waiting for the $ off certs to come back but might have to book soon anyway 😞
