Do you need special permission from the Gods at sea to get 4 scoops? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Viva already under construction not much will change between her and the Prima. But, the last four ships in the class could benefit from cruiser feedback and hopefully tweaks will be made. The Improv and Syd's could easily be double their current sizes since these two venues are way too small for the demand. Since the Galaxy Pavilion is a moneymaker for the teen and family contingent on board, I doubt that changes will be made there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area definitely got a bit crowded during peak gym times and folks just need to be considerate in order to not bump into others. Yes, it was that tight! ncl epic's gym is HUGE: Completely the opposite of Prima. it has the most weight machines of any ship i've been on. and there's an equal amount of space dedicated to cardio (treadmills, bikes, etc) 😮 and there was more than enough spacing between machines so you're not bumping into each other Edited December 17, 2022 by fstuff1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Epic is a much bigger ship than the Prima, so you would expect things to be bigger. And, as NCL's first attempt at a megaship, and a lot of oversized spaces including Spice H20, Thermal Suite (with both unisex and coed facilities), 2-story Haven lounge, Posh Club, private gym in the Haven, private steam room in the Haven, the Bliss ultra lounge (originally with a full size bowling alley),,, all never duplicated on any other ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your photos are gorgeous!! Besides the stunning photos of the ship, your photos of the NYC skyline are amazing. I have a love for NYC, having attended grad school there in the mid-1980s and then visiting my son during his college years in NYC from 2013-2016. NYC will always have a piece of my heart! I hope to sail Prima and am sad that she is leaving my home port of Port Canaveral so soon. @BirdTravelsWe love the Epic; I know that people seem to have strong feelings about this ship, but after spending 15 nights on a TA on the Epic in 2019, we loved it!! I'd sail Epic again anytime! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few orders will bounce back with an SQL error after being placed so I wasn't sure if it went in or not. It was getting crowded and I would lose my seat instantly if I tried to get up to the serving station and ask. So, I just ordered again. Turns out I ended up with multiples of everything. Good thing the portion sizes were small! Let's see: Singapore Noodles (x2) Some sort of soup with fish Pai Thai all chased with a few scoops of ice cream All very good and SPICY. The ice cream was definitely needed at the end. I will be all over the Ice Cream!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually sailed on a Royal Class ship from Princess you would know it's not dated. What a ship looks like from the outside means squat, IMHO. What matters is the food, the bars, the entertainment, the ambiance, the venues. I am just reading this now as interested in the prima. I have to say this statement struck me as extremely rude to PP view of how the prima looked to princess. Sorry you were upset about princess looking dated and not modern like the prima. I agree with pete and also look at how ships look, I am impressed by modern marvels such as cruise ships. I could say more but will leave it. Dang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
