If you don't have any seasickness issues, I'd book an inside on 12. They are much newer added around 2011. Quiet area, close to pool, buffet, one deck up to bar and front deck area.
As a Rueben aficionado, note that some use corned beef and some use pastrami. When we sailed Prima menu said pastrami but whatever it was, it was pretty good sandwich.
Just some general info. Verizon used to sell a plan for Cell at Sea but it is long gone and now Ala carte.
POA does not have cell at sea if someone doing Hawaii.
Ready - hope MSC works for you. We sailed YC eight times and would say except for last food was pretty good. October we sailed 11 nights and walked out of YC restaurant twice and skipped it another couple. My go to filet was rubber on six of eight I tried.
Hola's was good as was BC. Buffet was o.k. but they ran out of some stuff like lettuce.
Right, not a lot of discussion about POA entertainment as a lot of folks tired from busy day on land.
Note the buffet has a stone oven that makes some good pizza. It is port side in the front as you walk from the bar aft.
We've had new numbers assigned several times, luckily all fixed automatically with email notice.
Our DD got stiffed when they changed rules years ago and no help or fix despite numerous contacts.
There are only 13 H5 on Prima. A couple have two doors to bathroom, a couple at the back have a bigger balcony. We spent 12 days way back and would have to check where DW did hair.
More important is getting all six shower operation stations to work at once which is doable.
Welcome to CC too.
Probably best to do separate thread as POA unique ship and entertainment.
Sky, other than being Pride of Aloha in mid 2000s for a few years, will not be like POA for activities.
Welcome to CC. Note GA Haven does not have a roof over pool area.
Answers to many of your questions will vary wildly ship to ship and even room to room.
They open between sailings to power wash. If they happen to leave unlocked after cleaning, maybe, but not likely. Normal policy for years is to keep locked.
There are. I avoid the sun and there are some trees for sure as you walk past the food areas. We just sat on beach, no chairs. I did have something very small bite my legs though.
