If the news doesn’t make it sensational it won’t sell.  They never let facts stand in their way!

The OP is sailing on Bliss. None of the aft-facing balconies on Bliss are that deep.

I realize that, it was for the view not the depth

Aft on Breakaway! Did a B2B in the Western Caribbean

I am on the Prima right now as of 3/24/24 and there are black soot everywhere on deck 8. This is a real let down, we can’t sit on any of the lounge chairs unless you want your clothes smeared with black soot. Many people are putting beach towels on the lounge chairs and crew members are vigorously cleaning the area. 

We were on the Prima late Jan into early Feb, spent lots of time near the Soleil Bar and outdoor indulge lounge and didn’t have any problems soot anywhere on deck 8.

Thanks!  Who knows?  If I ever find myself NOT having the time of my life on a cruise (yes, in steerage), then maybe I'll pull my wallet out and find out how the good people live.   It could happen!

 

(or not)🤣

God bless us Steerage’ers.

With all these "free" drinks promotions I have to believe that the vast majority of cruisers are signed up for this.  What are your experiences onboard with getting a drink in a timely manner? 

Never had a problem getting any drinks. Not all bars have blenders so those drinks might require a little search. 

If you book À la carte for first two then fixed for 3rd and 4th the system will bill you for that cost at checkout. 

Book your fixed cover charge first, then your À la carte restaurants. System can’t distinguish between FAS or Lattitudes. Hope this helps. Have a great cruise.

Thank you so much for doing this - it really helps others get the most out of their holiday. Very kind.

 

If you pass by please could you check out the current cost (if there is one) for the darts and the mini golf - both in the stadium I think.

 

Also favourite bars/drinks/restaurants/ meals would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks, Lisa

 Mini golf $10/per person for 9 holes. Darts $5/per hour. 

Hope ya’ll have a great trip.  Enjoys the trip and getaway, and take care.

Hi all-

Booking our first balcony cabin after many cruises and cruising my favorite itinerary of Western Carib (Roatan / Cozumel / Belize / Costa Maya).  We always book an inside cabin so I have no clue if there's a "preferred" side of the ship to book a balcony cabin for this itinerary.  Anyone have advice to share I'd sure appreciate it!  We will be on deck 8 in a BF cabin if that matters at all. Thanks - Amy

Amy, 

We always try to book port side of ship. Going south your balcony is sunny in mornings and shaded in afternoon.  Just the opposite going north.  When in ports sometimes you face the port sometimes the ocean. Hope this helps, it’s our preference. Enjoy. 

Good thing in our 14 days aboard it was never crowded for breakfast.

It's been over a year since we sailed on Prima but I recall it being open every day for lunch.  I just wish they would expand the lunch hours.

They had a great breakfast setup, as well as dinner also.

Cagney, Hasuki, Los Lobos, Palomar. We did a b2b in Jan. Cancelled out Onda to go to Los Lobos a second time. On our 14 days Cagney 3x, Los lobos 2x, Hauski 2x, Palomar 1x.

I download a PDF of the document and save it to my phone.  Easier than trying to get it into a 'wallet' of some kind.

I send mine to iBooks, just easy for me to remember where it is when they ask for it, mine and my brides

FYI,

The Shipmate app has a price alert feature.

If you still can't get the reservations, either call NCL or use their chat feature.

The dedicated pre cruise line is very helpful. 
866-625-6086, hope they can help you

On the Prima in Jan 21 days out for us also. 

We took our luggage off with us and was off ship and waiting on Uber by 7:30

Beam me up Scottie!

I am looking forward to Freestyle Dining...none of my previous cruises offered that option & I am excited to try it....I think I will like it very much. Thanks for the share Smitheroo!

Thanks Dawn, if I could ask, which ship a you going on. May be able to get more specific on what it could provide.

ie we enjoy a forward observation lounge but not all ships have them

Thanks

On our recent B2B cruise we met an outstanding asst Maître d’ on our second day, from St. Lucia, discussed her island and found we had a mutual Acquaintance in a NCL employee widely known to NCL cruisers. She found out it was my brides birthday the next day and we had reservations at Cagney’s for her dinner. She showed up, ordered her a bottle of wine and poured our drinks. Also had a birthday cake sent to our room, even thought I had purchased her the Bday package. Needles too say we became close for the remainder of the 14 days, and her and my bride are Facebook pals. We were truly blessed to have met this lady, a true asset to NCL. 

On our recent Prima B2B we got 2 flo cartons at beginning of each leg.

My wife and I are both Sapphire. In the past one of our tier benefits was two dinners. I forget what two restaurants it was but I could have sworn they were named. Now under the listing it says Dinner for two with a bottle of wine and then a few lines down Dinner for two. However it gives no mention of where we can dine for free. We will be sailing the Gem

There good for any restaurant now. Enjoy
