mast3rn8 Posted September 9, 2023 #601 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Can anyone share the officers on board? Or the Cruise Director at the very least? Update: from a couple of press articles the CD appears to be Marzena Slodyczka. Edited September 9, 2023 by mast3rn8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezo Posted October 8, 2023 #608 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I did a little sleuthing and I noticed NCL refilled trademarks under a different IP subsidiary. Names resubmitted are Luna, Aqua, Bella, and Ultima: https://uspto.report/company/Ncl-Us-Ip-Co-2-L-L-C The original filing a couple years ago is here: https://uspto.report/company/Ncl-Corp-L-T-D Based on compare - Ombra, Vela and Aura are out as of right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted October 8, 2023 #610 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Somebody who is on the Dawn at the moment said at their Q&A (or M&M, I can’t remember) with Officers it was announced that the next Prima ship will be called Aqua and the 4th one Bella. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenCoudon Posted October 12, 2023 #612 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Just want to have your thoughts about this change. NCL announced a fleet wide adjustments to their solo cabins https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/newsroom/norwegian-cruise-line-announces-fleetwide-expansion-of-its-solo-stateroom-category/?fbclid=IwAR0liCMGBFAoE4qzbmYiwacyRdzQPWeXjoED2YtdBcDEKH0s1EAFTg_O_JA In addition to the current solo cabins, they are now offering bookings for Oceanview and Balcony solo cabins. I was chatting with a travel agent and she mentioned that all what NCL does now is to use current double occupancy cabins and make them single occupancy. No changes in the actual cabin. This change include both Prima and Viva. So it reduces the overall ship capacyty. And regardless where your solo cabin will be located, your key card will give you access to the solo lounge (for ships that have one). We will all agree that if you compare today's space available on the solo cabins to the space you will have on a Balcony cabin with single occupancy, there is a huge difference. I think that with the construction of the last 3 Prima class ships (it is probably too late to make changes for the Leonardo #3), I wouldn't be surprised that they would come up with a redesigned section to build balcony cabins for solos that would be much smaller than the current balcony cabins, They may do the same thing for OV cabins. What's your opinion on that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, I don't prefer the naming conventions for the new class of ships. I will say they are creative, but the combo of "Norwegian" + "Italian" naming for a US-based line is a bit off. I do like Luna - I remember there were thoughts years ago when they were naming Sky, Sun, Star, Dawn - that Norwegian Moon was on the table. But as I said, the names are more creative and differentiating. Past names it looks like they never moved forward with as well: Norwegian Marvel, Norwegian Seahawk On 10/8/2023 at 3:58 PM, bluesea777 said: Somebody who is on the Dawn at the moment said at their Q&A (or M&M, I can’t remember) with Officers it was announced that the next Prima ship will be called Aqua and the 4th one Bella.

cruisewingman Posted October 13, 2023 #620 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Anyone ever have luck applying $X off next cruise to existing reservations before the final payment is due? The T&C say new reservation but it seems pointless if final payment isn't due yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T&C say new reservation but it seems pointless if final payment isn't due yet. Not sure what $X is. Cruise next yes I have applied, Cruise First is much more restrictive and requires a new reservation. I would avoid the Cruise First. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itisme1760 Posted October 17, 2023 #622 Share Posted October 17, 2023 On the Viva now. We couldn’t dock at Dubrovnik due to high winds. About 15-20mph winds which would have made it difficult to port. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianks Posted October 18, 2023 #623 Share Posted October 18, 2023 oh no of all ports to miss, what a huge shame!!!! We were on the viva in August. Rome to Venice. Wonderful but extremely busy with no sea days and terribly hot weather especially in the first half of the trip. Hard to handle with children involved. The ship had all the WOW factor when we hopped onboard, how gorgeous. For me personally that does start to wear off half way through the trip!

Rare JIMESOPUS Posted November 1, 2023 #624 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Since there isn't a new thread for Leo #3, tomorrow is the big day for Aqua. NCL has hinted on that other site that 11/2 is the big day. Aqua did show up this morning on the NCL site but has now been removed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
