Nice & kudo 👍 As for the official count, you might not realized that the numbers were posted on the bridge and in one of your photos above - zoom in & up close ... it read - 3,332 pax and 1,461 crew for a total of 4,793 souls on this sailing. Putting the ship at 107% above double occupancies for pax or about 85% of max pax/lifeboat capacity ... with almost 570 berth or bedding for additional pax (children, teens ... and toddlers, etc.) What's not showing is whether they have any and number of "service animals" onboard ... something the ship's accessible officers do know & have on hand. Isn't it time for afternoon high tea in the Haven lounge and where is dinner tonight ? I just saw that 3,332 guests 1,461 crew Captain said full ship. I don't see 4,000 guests on this ship....not even close. High tea.....having cocktails on the balcony. wait....I meant tea.....after finished packing. May go see Donna tonite, then hang out in Haven Bar with my new cruise friends!!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know what it's like with another 500 people on over Easter 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted February 8 Author #628 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Lyster Dias, our Concierge, is one of my Cruise Heroes. I think he’s headed to the Encore after this cruise, but if you can find where he is, he will single handedly make your Haven stay worth the money! Hi praise, well deserved!

Ticatraveler Posted February 9 #638 Share Posted February 9 Thanks @graphicguy. I have followed your review and enjoyed it very much. We will be on the Prima in May. It's a cold weather itinerary but booked the thermal spa in case we need to escape the crowds on sea days. I hope you are healing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyster was trained by him, and it shows! Adrian left NCL but last I heard he’s either with Windstar or Oceania..can’t remember which! Lyster has been with NCL for 17 years. Adrian is with Oceania 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyster was just exceptional. He’d personally track us down at dinner, wherever we checked in, to make certain our meals were satisfactory! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
