Recent Prima Sailings Questions

Ok, so one more question, is there any chance they are actually going to swap out Donna Summer for Six? My Norwegian shows Six as the show option on my sailing. I fugue it’s an error, but here’s hoping.

Six is likely to replace Noise Boys. When is your sailing?

There is no superscript for the laundry reward, i.e. no more details on the reward. If you are platinum or higher, you get one bag independent of length of cruise. So since both you and your hubby will be platinum or above, that makes 1+1 or 2, total. If you've heard something different, please let me know where. 

 

I am platinum so that's why the left-most 1 free bag is highlighted. (Image is from Latitudes Rewards (ncl.com)

 

You are posting incorrect information.  I am Diamond and while it is not published Latitudes members who are Platinum and above get one free bag of laundry per week.  On a 21 day cruise on the Gem I got 3 free bags of laundry.

Thanks for the correction. My longest cruise was 12 days, so I didn't hit the 14-day mark for another  bag.

One more question, not necessarily specific to the prima, but is there a huge difference in the Western Caribbean Mid February vs mid March? We may need to switch dates because of DH's work schedule.

The fill a bag special is enough for us to get 3 people’s worth of laundry done halfway through an 11 day cruise no problem. You just have to roll the clothes tight and you can fit a lot in a bag. We are platinum now, so it’s even a better deal 🙂

Is it bad form to bring tape to reinforce the bag?   (jk)

On our 11 night Panama cruise I was able to get most everything except for long pants and swim suits in the bag and we are not small people.   I do love a game of tetris.

I’ve read about people lining it with a plastic bag to increase its strength

It may be bad form, but I'm doing it anyway.

I was the one who originally mentioned it, but I definitely  don't know anything definitive. It just popped up on my MY NCL as entertainment for my sailing and I was asking about it. I checked last night and its gone again. it may have just been a glitch or might be actually coming.

Here's a blurb about upcoming casting for "Six" -- dates not specific, though.

 

"Onboard the Norwegian Breakaway & Bliss in 2023 and beyond..."

It does not look like SIX will be on Prima. It didnt mention Prima in that casting link! ugh! I hope they replace Noise  Boys with something.

I agree. Not going to hold my breath, with NCL cutting cost and services everywhere they might pass out paddles for passengers to row the ship to save fuel (lol)

 I’m sure they’ll charge for it too. They would just call it an excursion. 🤣🤣

No, not bad form. Just fyi, we cruise a half dozen times a year and we fill laundry bags on every cruise without tearing.

A couple more questions, sailing Prima March 28th, 5 night to Bermuda.

The way I understand Freestyle Dining, I received (1) specialty dinner when I booked. I did upgrade to the Free at Sea Plus package. I think I received (2) additional specialty dinners for a total of (3) FREE choices?

I have booked my dinner reservations, (4) specialty restaurants total. They all showed up in my cart as $0 at checkout. No money due at checkout, reservations are showing in my summary. 

Question.....am I going to get charged for one of these reservations once onboard. Seems like I should. 

I am in the Haven, so I have no problem cancelling one or even 2 of these reservations. 

Also, if you had to choose the (3) I have coming, which would you choose on the Prima? They all sound amazing!!

When pre booking for the entertainment 26 days in advance, were you able to do it online or did you have to call NCL concierge?
