I can't say with absolute certainty about the Sun! However, we had Aft-Facing Penthouse on the SKY (Dec 2022) and we were invited to Cagney's for Breakfast and Lunch each day. Dinner is whichever place you choose with FAS/Latitudes/pay.

You can find more specific info on this post: (Note post # 2 by @BirdTravels!!!)

I completely understand. We (mostly) stay in an AFT also.

Are Cabanas still available. They are priced lower, due to differences in location and amenities. (Totally different experience! But, maybe an option.)

In the Haven, you should not be affected by changes.

Following... with hopes that everything goes well along the way!

The Thermal Spa passes should be available (if not sold-out) when logged into your account. Bookable items are listed on the left-hand side (scroll down under the NCL logo). The Daily Service Charge covers "tips", unless you wish to give cash tips onboard.

True is only the Premium package was purchased. However, above discussion is referring the the Premium Plus package, which does include each of the perks listed by @nonchalant_muse!

@Cannotwaitocruise It would be to your advantage to read the Terms and Conditions to the current promotions. (link below) https://www.ncl.com/about/terms-and-conditions/promotions Please consider purchasing a separate meal package for your mother, since sharing (most likely) will create a charge at each Specialty restaurant.

Look for an ongoing "live" post for your cruise ship (scroll down through the following threads).

You do not need to provide any additional tip (which are covered by the Daily Service Charges). However, if you feel that your server provided excellent, timely, service, you may wish to add a tip.

No "Summer Walk" on the Prima, that I can recall. However, Deck 8 has Zone names: Forward is La Terrazza. The glass viewing walkway is called Ocean Walk. In the center area you'll find either The Drop Zone (Port side), or The Rush Zone (Starboard side), which are then followed by Infinity Beach heading toward the aft. So many names for what we, otherwise, know as the promenade deck. It certainly has some large sculptures and nice plants!

For one of our recent cruises, NCL cancelled some ports, and likewise, our excursions. The changes took place several weeks prior to the embarkation date. I kept looking at our credit card account for the credits. However, NCL had placed the credits for those excursions on our onboard accounts for that cruise.

Unless we always miss a notification stating something like that is available, we have not seen that 'perk" made available to us, even at Sapphire or above.

🤪 Your reply does seem to align with NCL logic!

If you aren't in a Suite/Haven and/or do not have an excursion ticket, then you should utilize either the numbered ticket, or your status, to join the end of the line. Each stateroom group should go together, (or join the line later if they choose). Wishing you best of luck on your GSC day (hopefully conditions are good for tendering and it is a fun filled day)!

It depends on when then excursion is cancelled. If Pre-cruise, then your credit card is refunded. However, if the excursion is cancelled onboard the ship, you receive refundable Onboard credits. *** Be sure to use, or cash-out, your refundable before disembarkation day.***

@Something fun! It does not matter when you booked.

DH used to travel frequently (before retirement). He'd pack his own gear, but I learned to go behind him add some things that I knew he would likely need. I cannot tell you how many times I got thanked, not just by my DH, but also his commanding officer. Apparently it's true that old dogs can't learn new tricks! Or, perhaps he likes to help me feel needed? 😉

Pike Place Market is approximately 1/2 - 3/4 mile walk to Bell Street at Pier 66.

Hopefully you will have a great time once you are onboard!

There should be no reason for the battery operated neck fans to be a problem!

Don't worry! It is simply a caution to NOT give to infants (younger than 1 year old)!!!

Two different terms have been mentioned above. At GSC, the Cabanas and Villas are quite different. Be sure you know which you want to book!!!
