moody cruiser

And if you're still hungry after dining all courses at any of the specialty restaurants, there is always The Garden Cafe where you can buffet your way to a fuller stomach. Not like this is something I do on a routine basis when sailing, btw, of course........

Interesting design idea? Sadly, not 🙁.

Thank you. I understand that NCL is #1 for solo travelers so w/o the studios and lounge on the Joy, I should be okay as the studio experience itself wasn't on my radar. However, this will be something I intend to pay attention to in future bookings when cruising solo.

You're right! She sure does seem like an awesome ship. I'm totally okay with my original plans. Although the Prima would be really nice, maybe a trip with her is in my future. I intend to enjoy myself and have a nice relaxing vacation regardless.

Right. I did notice that. If they do schedule gatherings, I definitely plan to engage. Thanks.

Actually this was a spur-of-moment decision so I paid in full once I made the reservation. But I'm sure the same cancellation rules apply. I do plan to reach out to my cruise consultant just on the off chance I get lucky. Will keep thread posted. Thanks.

Very sage advice. Thanks. A balcony w/drink package is definitely a treat.

Thanks. The cancellation fees are huge @ this point. While I'm excited about the Prima, I'm not excited about any extra fees.

So I haven't cruised in a while and I'm so excited about my upcoming (first) solo cruise celebrating my birthday in early Fall. Was locked and loaded for the Joy to Bermuda, even got my Vibe Beach Club pass. While doing my usual exhaustive research in early preparation, I ran across a YouTuber who mentioned how they were looking forward to their upcoming cruise on the Prima. I paused and thought to myself, maybe this might be a more celebratory experience? I'm in a balcony on the Joy and it looks like to switch to the Prima would run at least an additional $400 for a comparable balcony cabin. This will take me off budget, this after I pay for the premium beverage and internet upgrades but I wonder if in the end, would switching be worth going over budget. Also, how easy/difficult will it be to switch cruises with NCL? I have not checked-in for the Joy reservation as yet. Thank you in advance for any and all feedback.
