EPTCB

No guarantees in life but 36 reviews: 35 "5" star and 1 "1" star. I would tend to ignore the outlier. Nobody reports the murder or assault of a loved one.....

No problem.

It won't be a problem. I have four included specialty dinners on my upcoming cruise; two are listed as a la carte on confirmation e mail.

I just watched a video where they stated you can order an appetizer OR pizza and a Pasta OR Secondi (but not both).

Can someone confirm?

Can you link to the video? Wonder if they were using a Latitudes platinum and above dinner coupon (which limits number of courses) as opposed to specialty dining package.....

"Onda - ....The amount of food you get with the credit is almost too much.  You get 2 choices out of the appetizers, pasta or pizza plus 1 entrée and 1 dessert."

We checked in for a cruise last week: there was a one or two day delay between completing on-line check-in and receiving notification that e docs were ready to print.

@alexirina Did you happen to save the disembarkation information sheet? Interested in when self-disembarkation might be scheduled to begin.....

NCL website says Viva and Aqua are Prima class (no “plus”).

Recent press release does refer to Prima plus class.

Cabin 9216 would be the balcony behind the slide not the one where the chairs are so its not as close to the exit.  The sliding door in the picture is from the master bedroom and there is another door facing outwards toward the ocean that is off of the living space.  

Understand, just posted best picture I could find of the area and its relationship to the slide. As UKstages says different people will have different priorities, but I would personally look for a different cabin.

Believe this is the area in question. Tube might not bother me that much but location so close to where folks are exiting the slide probably would.

Depends on your feelings about nearby slide.

Check out Huahine Private. We had a great island tour with Janou. She will customize the tour based on your preferences.

We can second this recommendation for anybody who might be interested in a small group private tour / shore excursion in Huahine. We spent two full days with Janou this year while visiting on the Paul Gauguin cruise ship; once in early June and again in late September. As Dbld777 says, the great thing about Janou's tour is that it can be structured in any way that you like with a wide variety of possible options provided on her website. She is quick to respond to requests and questions and is also happy to make changes to tour outline on the day of the tour if needed or desired.

NCL Viva is charging $339 for our 7-day cruise out of San Juan December 15, 2023. 

Same price on our 7 day Prima trip out of Galveston January 2024.

Have had quite good luck with manta rays while snorkeling in Bora Bora.

Sixthman, owned by NCL, runs the themed cruises on the Pearl. I've done over a dozen of their charters and they have a great product: shows run on time with good sound and visuals.  On the cruises I've done they cover the main pool so that people can stand in front of the main stage but on the Broadway site I saw a picture showing main pool is uncovered. Spa runs as usual. Latitude perks are mostly in effect although a few are not. Food is same but often close Le Bistro and the smaller main dining room for use by artists and crew.

You may become a little more agitated with it when you see that you can’t find a seat anywhere else where you can have a drink because the outdoor spaces are all closed / unusable due to gale force winds and there already wasn’t a huge deal of indoor space to begin with.....

Never said there was only one acceptable response, just said what ours would be. In our case, next stop would be the heated loungers with a view in the thermal spa area.

Responses will obviously vary person to person. Our response upon finding that the observation lounge was closed for the entirety of a cruise would be something along the lines of muttering "That's a bummer" and then wandering off to enjoy the rest of the cruise.

Have you actually had any problems with NCL laundry?  If so, you'll be the first.

It happens.

I also vote yes.

Guess you could try calling the ship directly and ask to be connected to shore excursion desk (+47 2367-8858 or +47 2367 8859). Although I've never tried it, my level of confidence that you would be successful and get on an excursion waitlist before boarding the ship is pretty low.

Yikes.  I gave up about halfway through.  I book steerage, pack ear plugs and fully utilize the beverage package.  I always sleep like a baby and wake up READY TO GO.😎

You were able to make it through 95% more than I could!

Last NCL cruise my favorites were the Matador, Rebellious Fish, Painkiller, and their Lavender Patch martini.....

The martini bar used to have something called a "Lavender Patch Martini".....

We have a match. I'll make a note to see if I can find one on the Prima.

Taxi or private transfer from Papeete airport to downtown ferry terminal.

Kon Tiki Boutique Hotel across street from Papeete ferry terminal if need to spend the night in Papeete.

Terevau (or Aramiti) ferry to Moorea: both companies operate in same terminal but one schedule may fit your schedule better than the other.

Rental car in Moorea across from ferry terminal (if desire).

Moorea fun.

Ferry back to Papeete. Very short walk from ferry terminal to Paul Gauguin.

These folks were in 9742 and mention decent amount of noise from Prima Theater below.

I saw that sign one day during the (brief) lunch period, but they certainly weren't serving what you show in the picture, which looks like pizza. They were serving as @dexddd suggests: some inch-thick bread with a meagre amount of cheese and some other topping sprinkled on top. Calling it "pizza" is a stretch....

Different strokes for different folks but it sounds like the pizza described in a recent Prima review by OrangeCatRamblers: "We had a quick buffet snack of focaccia pizza. Do not miss this! It's only available at lunch and it's an A+++ pizza."
