Norwegian Prima *LIVE* – 7-Night Western Caribbean – December 3-10, 2022

Pier Runners!

 

All Aboard time is 4:30. Departure time 5:00. The Gonzalez family decide that being fashionably late is o.k.  And wave at the jeering crowds to the dismay of the ship’s officers.

It was 5:05. But the General Manager was on the dock looking for the family and ready to accept the call to leave them behind.

It’s beginning to look like Christmas, everywhere you go.

The centerpiece of the ship’s holiday display is the gingerbread city (formerly a wedding chapel). The display includes dozens of individual gingerbread houses, handcrafted decorations from Frozen, Smurfs, Minions and more. The city includes a working electric train taking city residents to different parts of the city. And, of course, the Norwegian Prima.

And that looks like real gingerbread.  Assuming it is, this is great to see, putting crew skills on display.  

 

I think it would have been easy to put a reusable plastic display together but they opted for something genuine, something that will be different every year.  Very nice.

Good Morning…. Cuba??@!!

 

The start to a beautiful sea day

It’s the Prima’s first Christmas and the galley team went all out creating dozens of gingerbread houses and hundreds of hand crafted figurines (check out the detail on each figure below).  
 

The snowy base of the display is 10’s of gallons of Royal Icing. A young chef from the Indulge Food Hall was repeatedly lifted on to the display to lay the next section of snow (a sweet, sticky mess). And hoses, figurines and scenery was added.

If you are a high roller, enjoy the VIP casino, hidden behind unmarked doors in the Atrium.

Or play in the main casino

Hi Bird, Thanks for all the details. It's getting me excited for my upcoming trip!

 

How much are Deal or No Deal cards these days?

[BirdTravels]

How about some slots

Behind the glass doors is the small smoking casino.

It’s a sea day, so it is time for serious shopping. The Prima is not a megaship like her BA+ cousins. She is more like her older Jewel class relatives. And many of the shops line the main halls on Decks 6, 7, and 8.

The photo gallery is all virtual. No hard copy photos unless you order them. Scan your room key and you can see your smiling faces.

Bird,

 

Thank you so much for your wonderful insights and fantastic photos! Your postings have been invaluable to me as I prepare for my sailing on the Prima next month.  I hope you're enjoying your cruise. I'm greatly enjoying following along. If I could ask you a question - do you know if there was a one-day laundry bag special offered during your cruise?  Trying to determine how light or heavy I want to pack for my upcoming cruise. Thanks!
