sjacobs11 Posted July 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hi! Just reading up on the Libby app for an upcoming Viva sailing. Has anyone used this e-lending library on Prima? If so, how is the selection? "Our library has gone digital! Download the Libby app now so you’re ready to access tons of books and magazines on your cruise. On embarkation day, login with your Latitudes number and you’ll be able to download one book and place a hold on an additional book. Read on your phone, tablet or e-reader. Checked-out books are yours for 7 days or the duration of your cruise. Getting Started with Libby." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Never heard of it. I can say on Prima in Haven there were books everywhere. Lounge had tons. Our room must of had 15, mostly thick with pictures which is up my alley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare debenson0723 Posted July 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I have the Libby app on my tablet and download all my books from my local library before leaving. I don't believe this was available when I cruised on the Prima last year but then didn't have a need for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also been using the app for several years to get ebooks and audiobooks from my local library. The app itself works well, but I can't vouch for the Prima's selection, or your ability to utilize it with possibly slow internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashOfWater Posted July 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I have also used the Libby app for years to download ebooks and audiobooks from my county library. I was on the Prima in January and used the app to connect to the Prima's library. I didn't download anything since I already had a couple of audiobooks for my 7-day cruise. So, I just checked the app on my phone and I can still see all the books in the Prima's library (weird, since I'm not onboard). There are 299 titles across 64 subjects (no audiobooks). This is a much smaller selection than what is available through my county's library. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
