Some German TAs and others have left today. steamboats Will it be hard to find a quiet place to relax on the ship if it’s full? There doesn’t appear to be a lot of seating for 3000 passengers.

Steff79 Posted September 6, 2022 #3827 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Hard to say. Wait until the first full sailings. i like the Buffett food at ncl. The food at the surfside is amazing, I really like the food there. Pizza is Great, the Asian food great, the spare ribs today perfect, the popcorn shrimps tacos great. But I like the surfside at Place itself not so much. Loud and not so enjoyable. and I think sadly no crepes station.

esimon Posted September 6, 2022 #3829 Share Posted September 6, 2022 This ship looks VERY large - I'm a smaller ship gal. I will enjoy the beauty I'm sure and I'm on her for the itinerary. I will keep an open mind about the size of this ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PistolPete13 Posted September 7, 2022 #3832 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi everyone, The Prima is scheduled to arrive in NYC the evening of 10/5 and won't officially set sail with passengers until 10/10 (yes, I'm booked to be on that sailing!). Does anyone know what the ship will be doing for those 5 days in between? I suspect it will be tours for media and travel agents. I would love to get photos of the ship with the NYC skyline in the background. The cruise mapper schedule doesn't show any activity for the ship during that window. Is there another site that may show more ship movement details?https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/new-york-port-98?tab=schedule&month=2022-10#schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far my only cruising experience has been 21 days on the huge Escape and Bliss ships. I'll report back after the short Bermuda sailing from NYC next month on how Prima compares! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff79 Posted September 7, 2022 #3841 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Ok I’m tall, 1,92 meters. But my view at the cross Trainer when i‘ m looking forward at the gym is: Changed then to walking machine: if you want do work with weights that is your place ( not huge, but I think ok ) , sorry for bad picture was a short moment with no people and I did walking while picturing. But walking machines are a lot. lunchtime at Hudson’s was good. Great view. Edited September 7, 2022 by Steff79 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff79 Posted September 7, 2022 #3843 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) who is in charge for the ncl merchandising? Ncl wants to make money with everything but is doing such a bad job with the merchandising. thermal spa entrance are the stairs. Behind the glass front at the right second level it is the way to the gym. You can watch down from there when you walk to the gym. The mens locker room is very small, that is all ( only shower and restrooms are more there ) seems here bigger, but I had problems with my shoes. Better to come ready for spa. But I came direct from the gym. dark gangway with saunas and steam rooms. Reminds me of the spa at the msc seaside. That was a dark hole ( mostly everything other I love at the seaside ship itself but the spa not) so sad you can’t go out , at the msc seaside is this part of the Yachtclub lounge to sit outside. ( at the seaside it is a little bigger ) . They should change that at least at the next ships. Headed lounger.

Rare steamboats Posted September 7, 2022 #3845 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Vero Water is a partner on Regent and Oceania already. There you get a bottle which you can refill at several stations. I was surprised to see a Vero Water station in the gym. And I have only a few bad photos of the gym too as even at 6:30 am it was already crowded!!! They ran out of the ship models on day 2 or so... I only saw two of the in a showcase in front of the shop and then they were gone. The only item I liked was the mug in the hull design (but I already have all my mugs in my cupboard - no pun intended Steff ;-)). The women´s changing room isn´t larger either... there´s only a tiny bench to sit down and redress. I had to wait as it was blocked by two other ladies. The way to my locker was blocked too (by those two ladies). It took them a while to realize that I was waiting for them to get out. There´s a bin for used towels underneath the shelves with the robes. But there is no bin for the used robes... The Thermal Suite is lacking hooks. No place to hang up your robe or towel. I saw the robes hanging on a piece of art or thrown over those yellow thingies warning you that it might be slippery. steamboats 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have not the biggest shoes. If the shoes are only at the front the door is not closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to have found out that the Prima will be sailing out of NY Harbor at 4PM on 10/6 for their private cruise. I'll be set up on Staten Island (if the weather cooperates) to get good photos of her as she goes by. It will be a bit harder for me to get a ship photo of the next sailing on 10/10 cause I'll be on board! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore my Crocs flip flops so no shoes to store. steamboats 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
