If you don’t mind me asking why do you say this?   We have one booked. 

 

Whether port side or starboard side, the view forward from the balcony is blocked by the bump out. The view from 15208 is probably the worst one.

150 people not 45 like Sid’s place never guaranteed to go see show Sid place is the Starbucks size 

 

 

Odd, given that not only are your numbers wrong, but the Improv on Prima seats more people than Syd's.

Nothing. That's why I said it's a good change to put a store there instead..

 

Iirc, it held away less tess than 100 people. When I sailed the Prima they had already given up on it as a comedy club. Comedians were strictly in the theatre. 

 

So...you never actually were onboard to see it used as a comedy club? And while you were onboard, you looked at the space and thought "I'd really be happier if this was a store. There aren't enought opportunities onboard for me to buy stuff."?

I looked at the space and thought "this is an incredibly small venue". 

 

NCL seems to be trying to address the venue size issues with the Prima+ ships. Improv moving to a larger square footage room across the hall (SNPH), SNPH moving to Deck 6 and gaining square footage by taking up a chunk of the aft section of the casino. Whiskey Bar swapping spots with Belvedere.  They're all positive changes in my opinion.

 

As far as what the future use of the improv space is, I don't really care. It's super small, it isn't next to anything that they could expand into the space, so.... Sure, make it a shop. Close it off and use it for storage. Whatever makes sense.

The slide makes 15208 the worst but the close proximity of the bump out hurts 15208 and 15808. I would take 15810 if I had the choice. 

Gotcha.  Thanks. 
We are are 15808 I believe - one of the only two remaining when booked.  I don’t think it is going to bother us much - just cruising is enough to make me happy lol

If Aqua is close to her float out….will the next build be started? I think the plan was another ship for 2026.

Viva in January 2025

Aqua in May 2025

Aqua….tbd in October 2025

next build I’m guessing late fall of 2026.

Send money…….🤪

@RMS Olympic For some reason these builds have had very little information from NCL.

Based on the Prima build, Viva was started right after the Prima floated out, it took longer for the Aqua to start thus the delay. A senior member of NCL already hinted that they have the next name and start date but has not divulged any more information ( David Herrera ).

Here is the original schedule.

Is it bc of the slide only ? 

we have one booked too... we did the side without the slide.  But our concern is that the balcony for the room on the bump out corner will be looking directly into our balcony.

That was a thought for us too. But not something that I will let ruin our time out on the balcony. We are the non slide side.  - 15808 I believe.    What about you guys?

We are in 15808 on Sept. 13 ,2025..... 

If you are earlier, let us know how it was....  When we booked there was only this room and 15208 available (now booked),  so we definitely won't be changing.  We are excited about these suites...

We have this one booked in December 2025 so I'll be looking forward to hearing about it from everyone before us.

we are September 27th - so if you wouldn’t mind letting us know. We had the same exact situation when we booked - same 2 options thankfully my husband picked the side without the slide. Lol. I would have just went w their suggestion

From these photos, it looks like only the port side's hull is painted with the starboard side pretty bare. Seems more difficult to paint once it's in the water!

Look closely at that picture where you can see the starboard hull, there are MANY man lifts still in the dock, that was from some time prior to the flooding of the dock.

@dexddd Ok, know I had to look and found this from NCL,

"

MEET THE HULL ARTIST

Allison Hueman

Our first-ever female hull artist, Allison Hueman, is world-renowned for her street art & global brand collaborations. As unique & innovative as Norwegian Aqua herself, Allison owns a distinctive art style drawing on the sublime. Her hull art for Norwegian Aqua, entitled "Where the Sky Meets the Sea," is curated by Goldman Global Arts and evokes modern mythology through colourful mashups of abstract and figurative representations of sea and sky, ruled by ancient goddesses. "

The ship does looks better than the WWII destroyer paint scheme found on the Prima.

Still looking for that unicorn
