Nothing I would be willing to pay extra for. I've been assured that everything on deck 8 is first come, first serve. The cabanas everyone's clamoring for are inside the Vibe Beach Club and require an access pass and reservation. Not sure if reservations are free or if it says $0 because it's too early for us to book for our specific cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted August 31, 2022 #3705 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Surfside Café is compareably small so they open up Food Republic and the Palomar (outside seating) when it's pretty busy. Dry slides are not dangerous as you are covered by a mat. steamboats 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golden6911 Posted August 31, 2022 #3710 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I don't know that the vibe will be worth it on an August Norway/Iceland cruise - don't think I will be sitting outside enough to make it worth it, but I would jump on it for a warmer cruise for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but for a different reason. Ours is a port-intensive one -- not sure we ever have a full day at sea -- so its use would be very limited.

Rare prmssk Posted August 31, 2022 #3712 Share Posted August 31, 2022 For those with questions about a specialty dining option on the MDR, here is a video on Hudson's which shows the menu for two different days. There appears to be one selection that changes daily from a specialty restaurant that comes with a charge. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been checking periodically on the app for available onboard bookings but it has always stated "Not available to book." I asked NCL about this and they show the same from their end. I'd like to check out Vibe (at least one day). I'm on Prima in November. I booked Bliss for April '23 and even though that's several months out from now, it seems Bliss is showing the same thing as Prima. Is this now solely booked online or can you go to the service desk upon embarkation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 31, 2022 #3715 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Any idea what the current occupancy level of the ship is - much lower than capacity I'm guessing? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Ben are probably correct, maybe it was just some items, Beef Wellington sounds yummy! Looks like it’s one item per evening from the video I just saw. $15/plate from one of the specialties. Interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_sobe Posted September 1, 2022 #3722 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Extensive walk through of the Prima Haven. Very spread out and large. However it does not have the upscale feel as other NCL ships. It fits right in with all the other upgrades of the ship which are all nice. Having a Haven poolside bar is HUGE. Finally!!!!!! The main dining room looks nicer or just as nice as the Haven IMHO. Edited September 1, 2022 by david_sobe 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main dining room looks nicer or just as nice as the Haven IMHO. Enjoyed the video along with all the others. It's fun and interesting to see this evolution of NCL. I agree with your comments on the Haven. It has a very residential feel to it, like the rest of PRIMA and many other new ships. It's the trend today for sure. While not as elegant feeling, I guess stylish is the word. The Haven DR is a bit meh IMO and I agree that Hudson's MDR is much more appealing (to me at least). The menus don't rotate in the Haven DR either so hopefully they are fairly extensive. The outdoor areas look lovely and of course they are getting the prime deck areas on the ship. I have concerns how the gen pop deck areas will hold up on a full capacity Caribbean sailing. One thing I don't like about NCL is being forced to buy an overpriced (my opinion) Vibe pass to get a decent deck chair in a quiet area with bar service. It appears it will be no different with this class of ship. Back to the Haven, since the cabins are fairly spread out on multiple decks (although aft), are the cabin corridors on each deck key-card access only, or open to all to walk through? I do see the Haven has its own small elevator bank and I assume these are key-card access only. Edited September 1, 2022 by eroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
