Unrelated fun fact: I have not been on Prima but I saw it from a distance at the Fincanteri shipyard in Venice this past summer as it was being completed and it looked very impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdoug Posted December 13, 2022 #227 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Very nice report; thanks for all the details. What did you like best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rccoble Posted December 13, 2022 #228 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Wondering if you noticed whether any of the bars served or were able to make espresso martinis? It's one of my favorites while onboard. Have had them in the Haven and also most ships usually have at least one bar that makes them, but I don't see anything obvious on Prima. We sail on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypleasure Posted December 13, 2022 #229 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Another great review by The Bird. Jam packed with information. Thank you for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted December 13, 2022 #230 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thanks, as always, for the great time and effort you put into making your reviews the defacto reference for some of us, better and more thorough than referencing the photos, menus, etc. on NCL's own website.

The Brid heard people ordering them, but don't remember which bar. The Bird avoids them because they exceed $15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More because it is the "new toy" that everyone wants to go and try it. We've been there around a half dozen times between our two cruises on the Prima. The food was infinitely better than The Local. We have always disliked the food at O'Sheehan's / The Local and still do after eating lunch there on the Prima.

At the Local had the Sausage sliders, and they were great and best of all was the Hot Fudge Sundae. It was soooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ontheweb Posted December 14, 2022 #236 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Question--I started a thread about dress codes and whether I could just wear tye die t-shirts and jeans in restaurants on NCL. I was told ok, but not all restaurants. Those who answered could not specifally say which restaurants on the Prima required collared shirts. Could you possibly answer that, Thanks in advance.

Per my response on your thread, Le Bistro and Palomar are the two restaurants on the Prima that ask gents to wear long pants (jeans and dockers are fine) and a collared shirt. People tended to be a bit more foresees up in Hudson’s, but it is not “required”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She gets a headache at the sound level I play it on. Closed captioning solves that as I do not have to hear what is being said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 9, 2023 Author #247 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) What was “On Demand” The order page puts movies in different categories so there are duplicates. New movies were “pay per view” for $9.95. Others were complimentary. Edited January 9, 2023 by BirdTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorklinbarb Posted January 10, 2023 #248 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Never noticed the "free" movies listed month the pay ones. Bird, do you happen to know if they give the schedule as well? Someone recently suggested asking at Guest Svcs for the schedule. Otherwise catching a free movie TV from the start is really hit or miss. Thanks!
