You don´t have to purchase any tickets. The shows are for free. But you are highly advised to make reservations in advance at the box office. And BTW shows are free on the Epic too. They cancel all reservations 10 min prior to the show and then you can just walk in (if there are still seats available). steamboats When we were on the Epic, reservations were needed and Blue Man Group was free. However, Cirque d' Soleil was not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Mom2kmo was asking if Haven guests needed to make reservations for the shows in the showroom and if there was a designated roped off area similar to other ships in the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one large area with multiple tables. First come, first served. Each table has a tablet with the food listed for every venue. As an example, you can order a salad from The Garden, Chicken Tikka from Tamara, tapas from the truck, etc. It all comes within minutes. If you only want items from one venue, you can sit directly at their counter. Lunch and dinner have different menus. We eat there almost daily and all is complementary. Food in all the restaurants has been great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uneamie Posted October 2, 2022 #135 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Earlier you mentioned deck 9 and 10 balconies and if you don't mind being watched....I think that's how you put it.

Delivery would help with the solo traveler buffet issue of losing your table when you go get something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sit at a table in a general area, you can order from any of the venues during lunch or dinner. If you sit a a chair directly at the venue, you can only get food from that specific venue. At breakfast it's all grab n go with only a few hot items available, primarily cold items and bakery items. Everything is free except for Starbucks and Cocos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the table there are tablets like iPads. You can order from any food outlet in the Indulge Food Hall including beverages. Everything will be delivered to your table (but not at the same time). The desserts (free ones and the paid ones at Coco´s) plus Starbucks Coffee are not on the tablet. There you have to go and grab them on your own. For breakfast it´s self service. There are maps on what to find where on the screens at each food outlet for orientation. steamboats Edited October 2, 2022 by steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning is a grab and go, several maps in the hall will tell what's is available in each station, seating limited on this cruise because the outdoors was closed. Lunch, find a seat and order from a tablet, is you sit at a station then you are limited to what that station offers.

Are these balconies not very private? depending how wide the ocean boulevard is below you, in the aft ( food hall ) you can look into deck 9 and 10 balcony's, mid section the " roof " limits the views, The Prima has the same issues as the Away ships when it comes to the views from your balcony, if you love the ocean you need to go higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JIMESOPUS Posted October 2, 2022 Author #142 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Good Morning from the coast of Canada, east of Sydney. Should be a nice day to walk outside. Captain finally slowed down last night, since Iceland the ship speed was around 19 kts, all kinds of waves and the " ride " was relatively smooth. Right now we are cruising at 17.4 kts. Internet the past two days has been real slow, unable upload large batches of photo's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JIMESOPUS Posted October 2, 2022 Author #143 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Getting off the aft elevators you can only turn one way ( towards aft ).

Nevertheless, that´s why they let you pay for it... It´s "Dinner Entertainment", not regarded as a regular show. Regular entertainment is free. steamboats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
