are you going to the price is right?

@BirdTravelsfor non-Haven passengers sailing Early May to Bermuda, would you recommend the Vibe pass for seating options, or in your opinion do you feel like there is enough seating on the expanded pool decks?

I agree.  I don't know the answer either.  It would be nice if everyone was polite and considerate, but that's unfortunately only in my fantasy world.  LOL!

Are you talking about cruisers on the ships or posters on the threads?

Probably be cool for either. We are sailing at near capacity. Lots of loungers around. 
 

But The Bird never recommends the Vibe because it is money that you could better spend elsewhere.

It is one of the shows that you have to reserve.
 

Got my Bird name tag and ready to guess the higher price. Will report after the show.

The Stadium, new on the Prima, offers games and activities including table shuffleboard, super foosball, pickleball, foot soccer, table tennis and more

space in the free infinity pools?

 

[BirdTravels]

Ocean Boulevard, the Waterfront of the Prima. Mostly a sundeck extension. On Deck 8, you can walk completely around the ship from bow to stern. No crew area on the bow, just a passenger walking path and spare anchor. Two segments over water. Lots of folks getting their morning steps!  
 

There are a lot of balcony rooms that look down onto the Ocean Blvd… may not be the view you were expecting.

Honestly, to me this is stunning, and you are right about the balcony situation...will be quite a different view.

To me, lots of very interesting lounging space. Much better than Vibe.

My initial thought when reading this post was that you forgot to metnions ".. all for a fee".    But after looking at the pictures, maybe not?

So, are all the games in the Stadium free or is there a fee?

And yes, all of the pool areas are small. Especially compared to the Allure. The Bird was on the inaugural voyage of the Symphony after being christened. And the true maiden voyage of the Wonder of the Seas earlier this year. And the first voyage of the Harmony out of her new home port of PC. Mega mega.

Did you do a review of the Symphony? I am trying to decide whether to go on Symphony out of Miami or Allure again out of Galveston in Jan...then hopefully hop on Prima in Feb, even though the casino won't comp me...I just feel like I HAVE to sail the Prima in 2023 while she has her brand new smell 🙂

love the color palette of this ship...I know it's not for everyone, but seems very classy.
