Please do! There are quite a few "Haveners" on our FB group page. Are you on that? We should all get together for a drink or two. Also, there is a plan developing to have lunch in the Haven after the M&G. Can't wait to meet everyone! BTW - I grew up in Pennington, NJ. 😁 -

The countdown has begun! I have a long work day today and a Board meeting Thursday night, then off on Friday. Friday is nails day and last minute house chores and packing day. We fly out of LAX early Saturday morning. -

We have friends picking us up at the airport then heading either to the city (if weather nice) or near Pelham where they live for drinks and dinner. I’ll text you where we land. They are a fun couple so more the merrier! the brownies….OMG YUM! I’m still dreaming about those… -
That’s odd. Is it because I have a prior cruise?
-
No! The cruise does not even show up on the App. Even after I enter my booking number I get “No Booking Number Found”.

Were you able to upload photos? I know you did a nice Live review (thanks for that BTW) but curious if you had issues with uploads. -

Can anyone attest to the Wi-Fi availability and quality on the Prima? NCL sells the different packages (NOT cheap IMO) and I am not sure if there is a REAL difference between the Unlimited Wi-Fi and the Premium WiFI. Is it really that much different? -

I know right? 😂 Yeh I will NOT be wearing any of them outside of the Haven. My DH would be hurt if I did not at least wear one of them. Perhaps just on our balcony. -

I know right! 😂 😂 😂 I tried to tell my DH that but he said "Who the (blank) cares?" It is his first time in the "Real" Haven so I have to cut him some slack. -

So my DH got carried away with Amazon ordering. 🙄 I promised him I'd wear the baseball hat. 🤦♀️ On a positive note, I guess he is excited about this cruise! 😂- 442 replies

I have found that I need to REFRESH the page before beginning a new post. For some reason I get logged out quite a bit. That and make sure photos load all the way before posting or leaving the page. Yes, it gets frustrating at times. -

Things to pack: A few things I needed to remember to pack in addition to the regular clothes and things for this particular cruise: - Layers (cooler weather in NY and at night) - Cash for tips – smaller bills for bartenders/server tips and large bills for our butler, stateroom attendant and concierge - ALL the paperwork printed out in case the ship “loses record” of a pre-purchased item. - Insulated cup and straw to keep beverages cold (paper straws are worthless IMO). - Water shoes - Waterproof iPhone case - Downloaded Google map of Bermuda – I packed the small paper Bermuda road map as well just in case. - Chargers and cords - Sneakers so I can ride the Go-carts. 🏎️ - Wine pump and stopper to keep our room wine fresh a champagne stopper too (just in case we don’t finish our bubbles in one setting). -

That reminds me - we have a VERY active FB and CC page. A special THANKS goes out to @Whitefacekat and @Red-Sol who have worked hard to put together some fun events for this cruise! I think at last count we had close to 200 signed up for the M&G. Way to go Stephanie! I am hoping that I can get my DH to attend the Sail away meet-up, M&G, LCR games and the Pub Crawl. -

I hope to meet you onboard. Thanks so much for organizing some of the group events. Feel free to share and post your perspective on the Prima on this thread if the mood strikes you. -

A special thanks to @Sthrngary for his fantastic Haven thread and butler letter suggestion. I did that last year and think it helped. Our butler asked if she could share it with our concierge, so this time I have printed out 2 copies – one for our butler and one for our concierge (along with nice tips for both). I also want to thank those who have done previous Prima Live reviews: Your threads were great sources of information and helped me plan this cruise. Although I was really,really tempted (thanks for your great LIVE @sid_9169) to book the Vibe when it opened for bookings, I did not. I figure other's will need that special adult only area more than we will. NCL really needs to offer more 18+ areas with hot tubs/pools onboard. IMO THAT is the main reason why Haven pax book the Vibe.
