I hope the person on the left side of that bed does not need to make multiple bathroom trips.  Yikes that is tight.

 

Just wait until they open up the sofa bed and have four crewmen in that room! 😐

I've never seen  interior and OV cabins being spacious.  They do that on purpose.  They are making much less money with those cabins and most important, they have lots of balcony and above categories to sell so by making them small, it probably convince lots of people to pay more for a higher category cabin.

This is the description for the family ocean view cabin. It is the only one that sleeps 4. The other two oceanview categories are either 186 sq. feet or 235 sq. feet. The pictures are the same for all 3 subcategories of oceanview.

Wow... that is small. I booked my sister, BIL and their 2 kids in a family OV cabin for next September. This definitely does NOT look like the renderings. Maybe this is a crew only 'smaller' OV room?

 

I may need to reconsider and save up some more money to move them into something bigger...

Let’s hope that’s a different room type and not a what I ordered and what I got situation 😂.

But I´ve never seen an OV or inside with the bed against the wall and the TV on the wall on the foot side of the bed. It´s also only one matress. Even if an OV or inside is not very spacious you can access the bed from both sides, you have a bed which can be separated with two matresses.

Yup, you are right. Crew cabin on deck 5. 

[FreestyleNovice]

The carpeting made me think it was some sort of guest cabin.

@ziggyuk has some pictures of Prima to share, you can go see them in the Viva thread unless they decide to post them here...

new vid, i  watch it later, not sure if they tell something new

So I am pretty sure I know the answer but it looks like The District is no longer.  Does anyone know if they plan to have good craft brews in other bars and lounges?  I looked through what is on NCL's website and it is mainly cocktail bars, so it is not looking good for us craft beer lovers.

@oteixeira deck 7 has a Syd Normans Pour House.... will that be similar possibly? Or at least have something akin to a Blue Moon as opposed to the lowest of the low.

Syd's on the away ships has a small bar area inside and outside with a stage, nothing like the District found on the larger ships.

Yea, I have been in a Syd's before on the Away ships, basically no beer selection.  :(  Good news for me, the Away ships don't cost as much as this new class, and the more I look, the more I am not seeing a reason to jump to these new ships.  I love the infinity pool in the Haven, but other then that, I am not sold on a lot of the things (I dont go-cart, the slides mean nothing to me, etc, etc).

@oteixeiraWe love the Jewel class ships and the first three Away class ships, Escape in our opinion is the best ship in the fleet. This size and some of the amenities aboard the Prima has us booked on the TA, we don't care for the racing, laser tag or even those two dry slides but having a food court in back and more restaurant's and bars. Really like the idea of NCL going smaller than bigger like RCCL.

[Steff79]

I miss a sports bar. Or mix destrict brew house with sports bar. 
don‘t see tv‘s At the renderings. Hope there are some tv’s with sport. At the local and?

at the beginning there was to read about watching movies outside at the heck. Wonder how that will be?

Agree with you - would enjoy a brew house/sports bar but unfortunately the only bar renderings I see with TVs is the Penrose Bar (which looks like a typical hotel bar). Maybe there's more to The Bull's Eye than what we've seen - perhaps there's a bar inside with TVs.

[Steff79]

good question where you got your drinks at the Bull´s eye? speedway bar? at the moment we don´t now

Agree on the Escape, if you look at my signature I cruise that ship more than any other they have.

Just booked Le Bistro for the second night of our trip on Prima in October. I chose an early dining time so we have a good chance of scoring a window seat. This restaurant looks so beautiful.

 

On the topic of no District Brew house: It will not be missed by me. It looks like this ship has a lot of other options for getting a cold beer. I am looking forward to trying some of the new bars. The Belvedere bar has my name all over it!! Certainly won't miss having a sports bar, and think the Speedway bar and Local may have some TVs for the sports fans to watch.

If the prices don't come down before our 🐀 cruise in September 2023 then we'll do a full scouting report for you and find any possible options for craft beer.

I thought there was a bar that had cubbys to hang out and play darts in. Didn't that have a bar and tv too?

It's not so much about the number of places to grab a beer... it's all about the selection of choices at such bars. Most bars have the standard 4 types of beer. There are some folks who are a bit more discerning when it comes to their beer choices, which most cruises don't carry. District was a good option for those folks as they had less common and more craft-inspired types of selections.

It's me, it's me!!!   I am this folk.   :)   Also, I really don't like hard liquor, so limiting my beer choice puts a major kink in my plans and then I have to try to find out which fruity mixed drinks I like best without spiking my blood sugar (and I am not even diabetic!) from drinking too many of them.

It seems like the craft beer boom is still going strong so I would expect them to have a better selection available somewhere on the ship.  Unless, of course, their experience with the District on the other ships is that the more unusual beers are really not that popular with the NCL crowd.

I would argue that they are popular based on how many kegs kick during any given 7 day cruise I have been on with the district on the ship.  By the end of 7 days more then half the taps are usually out of beer (my guess is they can only store so many full kegs so when they run out they are out).
