FreestyleNovice Posted May 10, 2021 Author #777 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Nice! Very good looking! I quite sure the hull art was not yet to be shown with the slow pace of the teaser clips hehe.. The deck above the bridge went from staterooms (2017 render) to fitness, spa or lounge, seeing this render and the deck plans. Still missing are the slides on the forward upper part, the tall side slide and the track. This ship is finally coming together, not much from Italy or NCL during the build. But this week is making up for it, a bit! I still feel NCL could make a lot more publicity with a reporter/blog on site from time to time but maybe the Embark series will open their eyes. Our commitment to NCL here on the boards is a loyal fanbase, with true brand ambassadors and also lots of early adaptors who will generate buzz after the first sailings. NCL can’t deny the positivity that we bring, despite it may not be their timed planning.. I look forward to have Prima in Amsterdam, can we arrange a ship visit Frank? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastcat Posted May 10, 2021 #783 Share Posted May 10, 2021 NCL Breakaway and Getaway: our hull art represents a place in our hearts NCL Escape and Bliss: our hull art represents the beauty of our environment NCL Joy: I am the prettiest ship you’ll ever see NCL Encore: we found some melted crayons and thought it looked cool NCL Spirit renovation: we found this old watercolor set and… hey, at least it’s not crayons again Prima, thank goodness, shows us that abstract can be gorgeous. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted May 10, 2021 #784 Share Posted May 10, 2021 So far, I like what I see. If NCL prices the largest Haven suites like Celebrity prices the Iconic Suites.....I won't be happy. We might have to squeeze into one of those aft-facing suites between the large ones (deck 10-14). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseenthusiast101 Posted May 10, 2021 #785 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The more and more is released, the more expensive it’s getting😭.

Can’t wait to sail on her soon! for new ships, the first year or so of sailings is always more expensive and with covid now causing higher prices i got a feeling all of the future cruises will be expensive. I have a cruise in mind and i am kind of scared to see the pricing in a few days when bookings open 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some relatively good Haven deals out there but they aren't for weeks that we can sail. For 1 week that I currently have booked on MSC Seashore (newest ship) in the Royal Suite, the aft-facing suite on Breakaway (8 years old) is $2K more. The price for the brand new Prima?.....🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expecting to be booking an Oceanview (it is going to Iceland, so a balcony probably isn't as necessary anyway) and have an idea of how much we are willing to pay over the cost of the Dawn to the Baltics at the same time. If it is too much then there are always other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted May 10, 2021 #790 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'm late to the thread but had a few questions- where is the racetrack situated? Also, does it have hot dog carts like the Breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a solo, I could book a late September sailing in an HJ for $3891. Not going to see that kind of pricing on Prima… Edited May 10, 2021 by coastcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, with the kids doing online/virtual school, we could sail and they could still be "in school" (if NCL's Wi-Fi was better). 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiseenthusiast101 Posted May 10, 2021 #796 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It’s such a shame that the ship is only doing western Caribbean. Really wish they would bring her to the eastern Caribbean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyTravelBug Posted May 10, 2021 #797 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I may just hold off on a cruise to Norway depending on the sailings listed. Glad to see something exciting to look forward to. Anything will beat the hull art from the Encore, and this one is quite pleasant.

Yes, it looks nice and fresh from these renderings especially the life boats in white. But, the Lifeboats are to be painted with an internationally-approved bright orange color. Disney is the only cruise line that has yellow life boats to match their hull color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
