Personally (and stuff like this is very subjective) I like the new names. They seem a bit more contemporary. I don't see anything negative or "inane" in the OP bringing up a topic for light, pleasant conversation. Even here on CC there is no need for every thread to turn into an obnoxious controversy. I agree....I needed to edit that post a little but it wouldn't let me, but you got my drift! I realize that sometimes there are legitimate complaints but some of the others are so petty. What's in a name? Unless you are giving your kid a life long embarrassing name....the name of a restaurant effects my life about as much as a 'left-over' fly in January.

Just FYI those flies lying motionless on their backs in the window tracks in January .... are the source of new flies in May. They're not dead. They're hibernating. Warm one up in your hands. You'll throw up in your mouth a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexddd Posted October 25, 2022 #30 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Maybe because buffet implies a larger venue vs Cafe a smaller venue like that on Prima. The TV on Prima was still calling it Teppanyaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted October 26, 2022 #32 Share Posted October 26, 2022 The PRIMA class ships are the first vessels designed and built ground up under Frank Del Rio's leadership of NCLH. It is the first vessel launched under Harry Sommers Leader as President of NCL. They most likely wanted to put their "stamp" on the vessels with unique naming for venues comparable to those on ships of yore to make the PRIMA seem new and exciting. A name is a name, what does it really matter?????? Variety is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indulge Food Hall. To me, Hall implies a large venue. The place on Prima has little seating, they should have called it Indulge Food Cafe. The buffet name change also probably trying to upscale things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sailed on the Gem and Pearl before their refits, and there were tacky silk flowers EVERYWHERE (except for the bordello-themed nightclub/bowling alley). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw all that seating outside but someone pointed out that sailed before us you can't order food outside. On our 12 days we did not see service outside for food but the weather was also not good most days. The inside seating is very limited. Oh, find a seat at say the lettuce station if lucky, can only order from that venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted October 27, 2022 #37 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Plus the outside area has not many tables where you can really eat. Only the ones along the glass front of the Indulge Food Hall have tables where you can eat. All other furniture are loungers or sofas with pretty small tables. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it could be argued that OceanBlue was renamed Palomar. At a minimum, why rename the Garden Cafe? Because they don’t want to confuse the substandard Surfside with a real buffet.

I remind people that you could compare the Prima to a Jewel class ship versus a breakaway+. It is much smaller ship than the Escape/Bliss/Joy/Encore. But they have played this game with moving a lot of the “normal” buffet items to the Food Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
