Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted October 12, 2022 #129 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Loving this review so far! Im glad there's not much pool space. I'll be on the Iceland/Norway cruise next summer, so I think ocean blvd is perfect! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted October 12, 2022 Author #130 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Need a laugh??? The Improv Comedy Club is the place to go. Early shows are family oriented. Late shows 18+. Now… this club is about half the size as The Social on recent NCL ships. It seats only 50 passengers. 10 minutes before show time, they let in another 50 SRO (Standing Room Only) guests forcing them to stand at the back of the room. Pro Tip: Book as soon as you embark. The shows sell out really fast. Edited October 12, 2022 by BirdTravels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense that they would expect only 100 of the potentially 3100 people on board to want to see the comedy shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GALSews Posted October 12, 2022 #134 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I always enjoy hearing what the Bird and AudreyC have to say. We'll be on the Prima in June out of Iceland. I guess I'll see how she does in colder climes. As a hearing-impaired person, I've given up on comedy clubs - no closed captioning! So we'll let two people have seats. In another discussion, people complained about how much area the art auction was getting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hearing impaired myself, but not majorly like some (I am deaf in my right ear but have 80% in my left) People gotta stop spending money at the art auctions so we can have comedy space 😛 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruizinSusan70 Posted October 12, 2022 #137 Share Posted October 12, 2022 3 hours ago, BirdTravels said: But The Bird never recommends the Vibe because it is money that you could better spend elsewhere. 100% personal preference. Many love the Haven, many prefer to cruise more often. Many only cruise with a balcony, others would choose an inside and splurge on the Vibe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruizinSusan70 Posted October 12, 2022 #140 Share Posted October 12, 2022 1 hour ago, BirdTravels said: 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. Obviously a ship that is over 90 K tons larger should have bigger pools. A good comparison would be to the Edge Class ships, which it seems the Prima is styled after. The main pool is at least 25 yards long on the Edge and the Apex.

McFins Posted October 12, 2022 #141 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I see that there were some umbrellas in the VIBE. I am wondering if there are any other covered areas in there. For instance, is the bar in the VIBE shaded/covered? Wondering if there is any way to sit outside with some shade. Love your review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Chief 2481 Posted October 12, 2022 #142 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Great review so far Bird. I will be on the next cruise and don't want surprises. I saw the picture below you posted that says have documents ready, including proof of vaccination. That sign hasn't been updated, right? I understood that starting 10/4, no proof, no masking, just back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Price is Right *LIVE* NCL paid $$$ to get the rights and game. Mountain Climber contestant with $0 to spare won a large flat screen TV Plinko contestant got 5 tokens and won $625 cash Race contestant did not win. Showcase winner got Tumi luggage. If they were within $100 of price of showcase, they would have won a Corvette. All pricing game contestants were selected randomly from those who swiped in (reservations required).
