Any info on the spa should be great. 

 

99 for a day pass. Very nice. I did not do it, but did a free tour. I actually wanted to do it, but my wife didn't so we didn't

There was a reservation desk set up on deck 6 or maybe 7 that was very helpful. We had a party of 9, so it was difficult to get everything set up together without their help.

You can also make reservations from the interactive monitors near the elevators and stairs, just need your keycard to swipe.  Reservations can also be made from your cabin TV.  Since you may not immediately have access to your cabin, and lines become long on boarding day, your best bet is to do it yourself at one of the touchscreens.

I may have missed this feature, but I did not see anywhere on the interactive monitors where you could scan a card and when you selected the dining feature, it told you where it was located. I didn't see an option to select anything else. Is that a feature on the Viva and not Prima?

I thought the feature is fleet-wide.  Perhaps not every monitor, but there are electronic touch screens by most elevators which will allow you to book a reservation.  Shows, dining, darts on the Prima, etc.

I am sorry. Everyone I wasnt able to get this information. 

That's OK.  I'm doing a B2B starting on the 29th.  I'll see what I can find out.

Some claimed they didn't have cookies.  There are cookies, but it's become a sort of game to find out where they are.

 

I'll add that there are cookies in the Casino. too.

I'm willing to accept other peoples' obsessions over cookies and hash browns on NCL ships, because of my own need for real dairy cream in my coffee (NOT CoffeeMate). I was very shocked that the Pride of America had real half and half for coffee, after the Escape did not,

[Grandmafreddie]

Getaway also had half and half. However cookie and hash browns Really after paying $$$for cruise is what's upsets you life is good

Hmmmm...interesting.  I know I ask for (and receive) those little milk cartons that I store in the (slightly cold) refrigerator in my. cabin.  I use it for my coffee.

 

Not quite sure the obsession about hash browns and cookies.  There are way better deserts and potato dishes on board other than those particular items.  The cookies are there.  It befuddles me that no one can find them.  I've had no problem finding cookies and with little effort....chocolate chip, raisin oatmeal and macadamia nut with white chocolate chips.

Well, I can agree with half your statement. 🙂 I'm a lover of potato-based carbohydrates. But, when I cruise, only french fries (rarely) enter my ecosystem. Potatoes au gratin, silky pomme puree, and baked potatoes have all been, well, lacking in flavor and texture. I used to enjoy the silky pomee puree, but on the November Pr1ma sailing they were plain gross. Even my husband hated them. 

 

No potatoes = I have room for dessert though, so it's not a bad thing!

No issue here!

 

I find better potato dishes vs hashbrowns…..like fried potato’s, sometimes with onions and/or peppers.  I prefer other sweets vs cookies….mousses, cakes, tarts, ice cream, etc…much more preferable to cookies.

 

 

As the proverbial sign off states…”but, that’s just me…”!  😉

Potatoes O'Brien is a dish of pan-fried potatoes along with red and green bell peppers and onion. The potatoes and the bell peppers are fried (varying according to taste) and are served hot. The origin of the dish is disputed. The dish has been claimed to originate in the early 1900s from a Boston restaurant known as Jerome's and from a Manhattan restaurant known as Jack's during the same time period.

 

You can get these at Walmart in the frozen section next to the hashbrowns.  Personally, I can stand green bell peppers so it's a very hard no-go for me.
