I had a quote from my TA for Prima for April 13, 2025, and last couple of days researching my cabin. Today I'm ready to book and the whole Prima 7 day sailings are gone for April. GGRRRR, hopefully just the site, I tried different browsers but just sent an email to my TA.

Thank you. It doesn't take much to confuse me LOL Thank you! I appreciate it. Emailing my TA now.

I'm using Chrome and tried Mozilla and don't see on either. I dont see on NCL site. Let me connect with my TA and see what he says when I go to book it. Thank you.

Oh my! So cruisnforlife as a TA cannot see it on NCL site and his TA site but you can see it? Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Lordy!

OMG! THANK YOU! So, the only thing out of NY in April is showing a 5 day on the Prima is that correct on April 1 and nothing else at all? I am specific on my date and loved the rate I was getting with my TA. Any other help you can give me I'd appreciate it. WOW! THANK YOU.

Hi. I was ready to book the Prima that is/was leaving out of NYC on April 13, 2025. I've been doing research and was ready to book my cabin and cancel my RCCL cruise but now, I don't see the 7 day to Bermuda from NYC listed on my TA site as well as NCL. It was there yesterday and this past weekend and my TA gave me a quote yesterday afternoon. I was on NCL looking today to see how much my TA had discounted but now it is gone. Can anyone see above? Maybe it's my computer? Thank you.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your taking the time to answer.

Hi. Thank you so much for your review(s). I always love reading them. I'm about to book the Prima but have a question about the Haven. On all other ships (well at least the Away ships and the Joy), my dh and I love to sometimes go on the inside pool deck (second floor) and lay in a lounger in the air out of the sun. When we went on youtube this weekend, it doesn't look like there are inside places for the lounge chairs. Is this correct? If it is raining, and you still want to stay in the Haven, I don't see an observation lounge (like on the Joy) or any other seating other than the reception area. Is this also correct? During the day, we enjoy staying in the Haven and venture out in the evenings. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much! I'll plan a little higher and figure it out from there but this is a great base. Thank you. We have sailed in Haven (last in August) for many years, when the kids were younger and now adults. We love the Haven and can only sail in the Haven on NCL, knowing what we would be missing LOL but we are all good on RCL balcony, although on the Odyssey, I'll miss the neighborhoods. Just wanted to get a sense of how much extra, about, Haven would compare. Thank you.

Thank you so much! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I appreciate your post.

Thank you. It is not available in my cruise planner and I'm not concerted about the Diamond drinks. I am confident from past experiences that the alcohol package is to be purchased. I'm more about finding out an approximation of the cost so I can compare to another line. But, if it was in my cruise planner, I wouldn't have to even ask because I could do a mock booking so not sure of a hack then?

Fab. Thank you again!

Thank you. It is called hack thread. Type slowly I'm computer illiterate LOL

Yes, I agree but my question is that is there a price, that is above average (I'm sailing spring break/day before Easter in 2025) that I can use to approximate the cost of both the alcohol package and dining packages. I am not wondering if the packages make sense, because for me, it does LOL

Thank you. I am cruising during spring break/Easter, so what should I expect in terms of prices per person with tax, approximately for drinks and specialty.

Hi. I am trying to compare costs to RCCL balcony and a cruise in Haven on NCL (which we usually sail). I know the Haven will come out more expensive, but I'm trying to figure out how much more. I have a fab group rate on a balcony cabin for April 13, 2025 on Odyssey but my dh and I will still purchase the alcohol package as well as 5-6 night specialty since we don't want to eat in the MDR. However, my cruise isn't "open" yet to view the prices for these two costly additions. I am Diamond on RCCL and understand we will get drink cards or something but we will get use out of the drink package. On NCL I have two Cruise Next Certificates to use so this is also helpful so really trying to figure it all out while the Haven price looks pretty good right now. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Just want to say "hi" from js at dis LOL

This is making it more interesting for my dh not to get the UBP. He can use the 8 Diamond drink vouchers a day (his and mine) and have his Diet Coke. I will be at 8 by early/mid afternoon LOL

I've been away for a while and am I correct that my dh can bring on cans of Diet Coke if he wants in our carryon? I am guessing I can do this too for him since we will only be going through security so how would they know. Thank you.

This is news to me since haven't been on Royal for five years so don't remember much. I can bring wine onboard without a corking fee? I will have the UBP but like a nice bottle once in a while. Is is per person or cabin because if I can bring in carryon and since I'm driving to the port, I can have my dh also bring on two bottles for me. Thank you.

Thank you. So, even if it is sea day, I can have dinner at a specialty and then later in the evening go to Playmakers (which I'm guessing is the sports bar) and use the $20 or whatever daily amount it is? I thought that was only for port days and I appreciate your help since I'm just trying to learn it all since we have been away from RCCL for a while. Thank you.

Hi. I see the restaurants that are on the Odyssey but can anyone please let me know what restaurants will accept and can I go to without paying extra charges if I have the UDP. Is the hibachi place an extra charge? Can I go to the same restaurant twice in a row or three times during the cruise, etc.? I can, as of today, only make the ressies for the restaurants once I get onboard. Is this also correct? Thank you so much!

What is absolutely more amazing to me is that you walked out of Costco only spending less than $30!!! It is NEVER under $500 for us!

Thank you. So I will need to figure out what the difference between the refreshment package vs alcohol and determine if my dh would be close to filling that gap after 8 vouchers a day. If its close or somewhat close, we will just both get the alcohol package. Thank you for the clarification. That is great and congratulations!!! We love cruising. Been cruising for just a little over 30 years and it’s always one of our best trips!!! Enjoy!

Thank you so much!
