Prima Cigar Lounge

[laudergayle]

Is there a bar in the Prima Cigar Lounge or do you use the Metropolitan Bar?

Did you check the deck plans on NCL's website? Here is a link.

Looks like there is a Humidor Cigar Lounge on deck 7. A little initiative goes a long way in life.

I sure did before posting.  My question is whether there is a bar inside the lounge as the written description for the Cigar Lounge suggests there may be one. I’m curious.

 

 Humidor Cigar Lounge

Appreciate a good cigar and a great drink in just the right setting.

The Humidor has a couple of love seats and a handful of chairs for those smoking cigars. No Bar. No drinks.

Yeah I saw those pictures but the description led me to wonder if there was bar access in there too.  I assume that the Metropolitan is where one would get the “great drink” to go with one’s “great cigar”.

So,,,, a picture is worth more than a 1000 words. There is no bar in the picture.

 

There are a few chairs which get taken over by groups of "young adults" (a.k.a., kids) who think very highly of themselves.

Yeah ok…but the picture could have been taken from where there could have been a bar.  Yes?

I had asked a few days ago how drinks worked at the cigar lounges, no one responded. But I can just go get a drink and bring it back.  Just hope a cigarette smoker doesn't take my chair...

while I've never been on the Bliss, all other ships I've been on has servers that cover the lounge.  They also get the cigars if you choose to buy those in the lounge

I am bound for the Jewel and my first cruise ever. Just glad it has a lounge.  I had originally wanted to smoke on my balcony.. but read you can't.  Oh well.  Again, first time cruiser.

I don’t think you can vape or smoke cigarettes in the lounge.  Strictly cigars from our experience.

Dude, I took the time to go to my photo library to provide you a photo of the lounge. If there was a bar, I would have provided you a picture of the bar. I took the time to try and help you grasp the size of the lounge and you're being nasty.

You are not supposed to smoke cigarettes in the lounge, but because the only other smoking location is out on the cold, open, windy, wet top deck, people sneak in on the Prima.

First Bird, I’m a lady. I actually thought you were being snarky to me.  I asked an honest question. The first response (not yours) I got to my question was “take the initiative”…I’m retired and have lots of time to do research. I read the description, I saw the photo before asking my question.  I appreciate so many of your posts, and I’ve learned a lot from them. So for that, thanks.  And, thank you for posting the photo I saw in my research.  My question was…how does NCL Prima deliver on

I am a planner and I like to know how I can maximize my onboard experience. It has served me greatly and my DH even more on my past and future NCL cruises.  And you have often helped me with my planning.

I have read that cigarette smokers tend to take up residence in the cigar lounge... Even though they are not supposed to.  I don't like it. But hey... If they can stand my smoke for a few hours...

it's been my experience that cigarette smokers come and go.  Of course, cigarettes take no where as long to smoke as cigars.  On my last cruise on the getaway, I saw hardly no cigarette smokers.  The two servers covering the lounge were really on top of kicking them out.  I think they mostly went to the casino, which was only one deck below.  They could also go to H2O, but that's on deck 16

On the Prima, the adjacent Metropolitan Bar, with Clarence the Chocolate Cowboy has a server that also takes care of the patrons in the Cigar Bar.
