Prima TA 9/23/22 to 10/5/22 Semi-Live, Not
Red-Sol replied to JIMESOPUS's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Jim is the Smaller Pour House the only available venue for acts like that? If so maybe they could do at least one night in the theater? -

I have heard many people mentioning how good the Fleetwood Mac tribute is. Just wondering if there is any way to know in advance what sailings might offer it? I think Fleetwood Mac would be a good candidate for doing something semi-permanently like the Beatles in The Cavern Club. -

Jim....one thing I will be very interested in hearing about is how breakfast goes. I realize there are multiple venues you can use for breakfast but in all my past cruises it seems as if the buffet is generally the "go to" place. I hear the buffet on Prima is quite small so that may not be the case on Prima. -

I have 2 fallback positions...I either blame it on the dog, or else on peanut butter. -

Will follow closely Jim! Thanks for being a trailblazer! (Apologies to Chevrolet 😀 ) -
My guess is that you are representative of the way most people dine on NCL cruises. I don't think there are many people who would only dine in the MDR's. Personally I find the fixed menus being rolled out on Prima to be just fine. There are so many other options available in addition (both included like Indulge Food Hall...and new specialties...)that most people will have a somewhat limited number of times they eat in the MDR...and when they do the limited menus still offer up a good selection. Who knows maybe by having these fixed menus they might even be able to speed up the time it takes to eat in one of the MDR's which often seems like a marathon 😉

Well I must admit that there are at least 2 of us who thought the same thing! 😉My wife is also from Germany (Mannheim) and her first name is Melitta which most people think the name sounds Spanish...but Nein! -

I believe from seeing in some of your other posts that you book through CAS. I also believe that you always/usually stay in Haven. I agree that Haven prices on Prima are priced way way too high but if you can consider other alternatives you might find something affordable. Keep in mind that we are definitely not high roller types but do get some type of comps through CAS. I called to see what they would offer us on a 7 day Bermuda cruise out of NYC to Bermuda on Prima. They comped us an inside which we upgraded to a Balcony for a total price of $2k combined for both of us. That's a price I can live with to sail on the new ship and visit one of my favorite places in Bermuda. FWIW

I think the term of "Nickel and Diming" on NCL is simply some kind of weird tradition. It's been around for many years and I believe that most people who use it aren't even aware of what it actually means. Bottom line is it wasn't true years ago when it first started and it isn't true today.

I don't have an actual answer to your question but noticed the same thing with 14 day Winter cruises out of NYC. They had always been very popular pre-covid...but very few if any now. My guess is the same as yours...these types of cruises being gone is a direct result of covid and the overall havoc with getting cruising started again fully. Sailing with full ships with full crews is still an issue.
-
As an anwer to my own question...I just called and asked. We ended up being comped an inside which we upgraded to a balcony. Doing that is still a substantial savings over what we would need to pay full fare. I am more than happy as we really want to get a look at this new ship...it looks like it will be very exciting! 😃

I'm about to call CAS to see if I can get some type of Comp on a Prima sailing to Bermuda out of NYC. Before I do I was wondering if anyone has already done this and do they even allow it on a new ship?

Cruising on NCL from Tampa...Terminal Experience?
Red-Sol replied to Red-Sol's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Does NCL tend to sail out of one more than another? -
Might be booking a cruise sailing from Tampa on the Jade. Curious how people have found the experience of sailing from there?

For me the last time I priced one out....flying from Rochester to Miami the price worked out to more than double than what I could get it for on my own...so then getting the second one free meant that I was only paying a small amount more for two than what I could get those for on my own. 😉 (In fairness for some reason Rochester is a very expensive airport to fly out of and we will often travel to other cities to catch flights)
