Glad to hear the hot tub situation is better than it sounded - we sail next week, no hot tub letter yet. Can anyone say who is the current concierge on the Viva? Thanks

Looking forward to your review as we sail on Viva this coming February as well. Liked your cabin numbers breakdown - interesting as one of the comments I read previously stated the Prima/Viva Havens had “so many more cabins than the larger BA ships” And that does not appear to be the case as the Escape Haven has around 98 cabins. You sail in a variety of cabin types on various ships - what cabin are you sailing in for this Viva cruise? Your commentary and observations are always interesting. Happy cruising 😎

Currently booked on the Caribbean 7 day Viva out of San Juan - it was originally on my short list also - right up until we booked it! Itinerary looks great😎

Literally laughed out loud at your Halloween posts! Too funny 😁 Your captain Barbie costume is amazing - agree the Ariel gang was impressive too. Really enjoying reading your live posts - vey entertaining! Our Halloween was so lame compared to yours - below freezing temps and only only 4 brave trick or treaters🤨 Thanks for sharing with us poor unfortunate souls currently not on a cruise ship 💕😎

Wish I was on my way to Alaska! Will just have to enjoy your pictures instead😊 I lurk on the NCL boards and read posts & commentary very regularly- enjoy all the good information. I am an NCL cruiser - tend to have brand loyalty when we travel - like airlines & hotels. But I am curious as to what you mean by “guests” in regards to passengers. I assume rookies are first time cruisers? Have learned a lot of cruise vernacular over the last seven years - but “guests” is new to me😬 Thanks - enjoy your cruise😎

Awesome! Thanks Hope to see some live stuff soon😊

I’m sure I’ve missed this somewhere- but when exactly is the first cruise? I know it’s changed several times. We are booked in February out of San Juan Just wondering when we might start seeing live reviews 😎

Wow - what a story! Your cruise sounded lovely but definitely ended not so lovely at the airport;( Laughed out loud at the fish swimming upstream metaphor😬 Enjoy your writing style - have read some of your previous reviews and it’s like reading an entertaining short story. Glad your luggage was recovered - you might have had to claim a high monetary loss for your art “masterpiece”😊 Thanks for sharing your adventures 😎

Your pictures are great! Looks like you’re having an amazing time! Getting turned around and a little lost is definitely part of the Prima adventure 🙄 How are you liking your two bedroom villa?

Not a member of the tribe, but following as well! Really enjoyed your previous live review - your sister’s outfits were sooo entertaining;) As was your story;) A little background- I was on the Feb 5-12 Prima sailing in an H5. DH and adult son made three of us. Son was a later addition so he got the couch. I was the intrepid rule breaker who gave Sid an impromptu Haven tour when NCL initially put him off;( Sid is a great guy and I discovered a new favorite libation at the outdoor bar when we ended the double top secret tour with a drink! A Smokey Dragon - no real liquid smoke - but tasty and made with dragon fruit! They only prepared it at the outdoor bar - something fun to try if you’re feeling adventurous! Have to say - the outdoor bar and the haven elevators were my two favorite new things on the Prima! And of course the dragon drink😎 We had a great time and even booked the Viva next Feb out of San Juan! Our son wants to join us again so we booked the H6. Would enjoy reading your thoughts about the cabin. I liked the H5 - was roomy with a nice balcony. But two bedrooms I think will be better. Have a wonderful cruise - the ship is fun to explore - and yes - you will get turned around at times😏 Will follow your adventures! I even read Sid’s posts while we were on board- gave my ideas about places to explore and an appreciation of the interesting architecture;) Happy sailing 🏝️

Good to know - thanks! Glad to hear about smooth traffic. Will make sure we have towels on the sun deck😎

Thanks for a great review! Very organized and informative- enjoyed your objective comments! We are staying in the Prima Haven first week of February with our adult son and your review was very helpful- will definitely listen for the loud person when we get to the pier! One question I did have - even though your debarkation was smooth, did you encounter any undo traffic trying to leave the port area? We are flying out of Orlando and making plans for transport. Thanks again for an enjoyable read!

Wow - eight sea days! Glad it seemed to work out well for you! We are sailing on the Prima in February and I too am reading everything I can find. I enjoyed reading about your thoughts and observations- made me smile. You were positive about what you liked and your quirks were measured and reasonable. I will definitely scope out the fresh afternoon cookies in the observation lounge;) Thanks for sharing😎

@Sthrngary Agree - let it go! The email guy sounds a little like the PaulBrowning character who posted the false information in response to my query about Haven boarding @ Fort Canaveral. Some people just don’t possess a good frame of mind;(

@rbxlady Thanks for the info - good to know that it’s apparently not as easy as it used to be! We will plan to be vocal and head to the back left of the terminal - and watch for haven signs! Don’t want to lose any cookie time 😏
