Rare graphicguy Posted February 2 Author #253 Share Posted February 2 They started to announce open cabins on certain decks about 30 mins ago. Now, they announce all cabins are ready! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted February 2 Author #255 Share Posted February 2 Just walking around the ship. It’s gorgeous…upscale comparatively. And yes, it’s smaller than any other NCL ship I’ve sailed (exception. being the GEM. maybe)! That said. I think it’s so different than any other NCL ship, there’s a lack of familiarity. Dining is spread out. There are more free dining venues vs just the MDRs and Garden Cafe. It’s the time of day the food venues are slammed. But, I saw plenty of empty seats because it’s so spread out. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't in November even though I had heard reports they were. Enjoy exploring! It's a cool ship with quite a bit going on for it (and some that's well blah, but that's all ships). Have fun!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not the week before Christmas. I don't understand why they won't allow it because it will open up more seating. Too many people sat down,saw the limited menu, got upset and left.

Rare graphicguy Posted February 3 Author #268 Share Posted February 3 And, answering the age old question about tips being stuffed in the bartender's/waitstaff pockets? Nope!

Rare mking8288 Posted February 3 #273 Share Posted February 3 18 minutes ago, graphicguy said: Looks like people are eating at the counters in Indulge.. We'll be back soon enough to see & find out for ourselves ... during last Nov's TA, the tablets positioned at the various counter stations were "restricted" and limited to what's available and/or served at that section, i.e. Asian fusion/noodles (very similar to Shanghai Noodles, a bit smaller but retained open kitchen concept, spotless as they power washed & steam clean them nightly). This reminded me recalling, crew had to go around individually to each tablet to (re)program them for lunch & dinner services ... that's "labor intensive" and speak to the onboard competency of their I.T. deployment, i.e. group policies w programming changes, not a good use of finite team resources amidst corporate cutbacks - the tablets with assigned alph-numbers associated with the table/counter station. The I.T. manager onboard can easily set them or remotely "reset" them all at once & modify the menu so that ALL the tablets can order food & items, appropriate to the time of the day (lunch or dinner service) - free up the "bottleneck" when at peak - surge times, 2 or 3 passengers easily hog up a table that seat 5 to 6 easily, while solo cruisers have far fewer options ... and, of course, close that Starbuck stations as it's wasted, not open for breakfast (during the TA) and a signed placard directing those looking for the boost to head across to the other SB midship. Heck, what do I know ... armchair quarterback & backseat driving. Oh yeah, isn't SuperBowl Sunday coming around the corner fast. Cheers & have a great cruise week ahead, I think you are going to like the Prima despite the imperfection ... wanna join us in a couple of months, prices looking good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted February 3 Author #274 Share Posted February 3 Keep remembering questions from earlier. Haven’t seen a drink menu. I order what I want and they make it! If I remember, I’ll ask if they have any sort of drink menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
