    Do you know, if the spa comes with your cabin Aurea or Yacht Club, do you still need to make reservations? Thermal suite is $65 for the entire week and does that include Solarium is is that a different charge? I'm floored by their prices ❤️

    Was able to get 4x points but now I'm going Lisbon/London on Getaway instead of Alaska 😁😁

    They did remove the bottle of sparkling wine. They were handing those out to nearly every passenger.

    Thanks for the info. Booked Viva 9 nights out of Athens, and just now Alaska Bliss, but isn't on the list. I'll have to change to on that is listed since I only need 28 for Platinum. Bliss so I didn't need to fly 😁

    If you can get a casino at sea comp, Prima is now an option. Save some $$ 🙂

    How did that work out? I hope they can do it when I get on the cruise after spending a week on land, rather than land after the cruise 🙂

    Last few weeks in May, NY, Yacht club is under 2K. That's on my short list for the spring. ❤️

    Yep, those are the reasons I'm looking at other lines. Hey, have you sailed with MSC yet? They do status match, 1 time. I'm older now, not a sun worshiper, but I still want to be in that atmosphere, just in the shade 😄

    Do that many pay for Vibes? I did on my first Epic 2013. Maybe 7 people were in there at one time. It still isn't covered 😄 But looking down on the pool deck, I understand the draw. 🙂

    Hi there Birdtravels. I live an hour from Seattle. It's a great escape to just go on the ship, usually NCL but have done a few 1 night HAL 😄 Usually stay on the ship and enjoy the covered hot tubs - Hmmm... curious, why do they cover the hot tubs? LOL 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😅

    ❓ 🙂

    I have, and love it. Still isn't a free indoor pool deck 🙂

    Prima is going to Iceland and Norway for the next few years. All that outside space is wasted in poor weather. Won't stop me, but it is a feature that would be welcome. 🚢🧡🥂 I'll never afford Haven and if I could, I'd invest it in a summer home (or 20 other cruises) 😄

    Long time NCL fan. Lately I've been looking at some other lines that offer an indoor pool area for adults only - included, not for pay. The bar and snack area in there is a bonus. Seems NCL should have something like this by now. Right?! Especially for Norway, Iceland, Alaska. I could not find a "suggestion box" for NCL 🙏🚢🧡🥂🍪🐈

    Thank you for the review. On this cruise does Port or Starboard matter for a balcony?
  16. kessdarln
    That's what I was thinking too and thought Aurea would be worth it for an indoor sanctuary space, with a pool. If one does not sunbathe or use the spa, is there a reason to book Aurea?

    The ship doesn't serve alcohol when in Saudi Arabia. Beyond the visual treasures, this will be an amazing cultural journey for sure 🥰

    Do cruise ships change their schedules for Ramadan - for example, we arrive in Aqaba 4/3/23 at 9 AM, would we arrive earlier - how do we stay in port until 11 PM and Petra closes at 6 PM. Just enough time for a 9 hour tour 🙂

    How did you transfer between Cairo and Sokhna. Did you have a hotel in Cairo? My cruise isn't listed yet 🙂 Seems to be the only cruise they don't make arranges 🙂

    Is there a door to the studio cabins near/behind the elevator end?
  22. kessdarln
    This looks awesome and good news I could book as a solo. Thank you.

    This is all a personal choice, self of culture. I'm huge on tipping because they make it possible for us to have such a lovely vacations. The same way I'd tip housekeeping even though I already tipped the dinner server and cocktail server earlier in the evening. 🙂

    OMG, there is so much of this going on, it was the first thing I thought of for the Prima Indulge Hall outside HA HA. I'm not a sun worshiper but it still comes to mind.:-D

    Has the first TA been announced? Will it be in the fall like other ones and cruise lines. Asking because I have limited time off windows.
