Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are two different things ;-). Sky Lagoon is in Reykjavik while the Blue Lagoon is closer to the airport (and the volcano).

 

Tried the volcano last year but it was quiet that day.

Ahhh I read too fast - definitely know those are two totally different places LOL. No coffee when responding this morning yet. So sorry for the confusion. Blue Lagoon is the excursion that was offered for Saturday that we are doing from the ship.

Nice article in "Food and Wine" about the newer food options on the Prima:

 

https://www.foodandwine.com/featured/WorldClassRestaurantsParadiseNCL2022?sm_r=yVDDWDcid%3DDI_DIG_NA_NA_TAL_NA_NA_SHIPPRIMA_NA_NA_NA&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=428053&fbclid=IwAR0PYDrx0xPDoALQvUwVmYwlpe4xpad7K0VN-D-u08xsqN7708X4K7qo2V0

 

 

After looking at this I actually checked out the menus linked in the article (NCL's site). Now It's been a while, but when did specialty restaurants stop having a flat fee and move to a la carte pricing? Was absolutely not prepared for that. On the other hand the food hall is listed under "dining" and mentions only Coco's is not a complimentary spot. I'm on Viva in 2024 so it'll be awhile and I think our booking came with a dining package.

Depends on the restaurant, but it's been that way for a while. The hibachi place is a flat fee, Moderno is a flat fee, and everything else has been a la carte for as long as I've been sailing with them.

 

That's why the free at sea dining plan is such a good deal. You don't have to worry about any of those prices and just pig out.

The free dinners you get in the Free at sea promotion are usable in every specialty restaurant of the ship. You make your normal dinner reservations and when you arrive at the restaurant, they will check your account and if you have any free dinner available, they will use it for your dinner.  Free dinners are not linked to any reservation until you show up at the restaurant

 

In some restaurants, some items trigger an upcharge. (Lobster at Le Bistro and few more items).  they are clearly indicated on the menu

Someone in one of my facebook groups posted the mobile menu for the MDR from their app.  I am guessing they are on one of the first cruises.  If any of you also are, looks like the menus for stuff might be online for you now?

Yep, I can see 'sample menus' for all restaurants in the app for Sept 23 sailing. 😋

BTW, I know there was some concern with the announcement that NCL wasn't going to rotate their MDR meals in the Prima class, like was traditionally done in the cruise industry.  But after looking at the menu for Hudson's, I'm not worried -- it's quite a diverse menu!

They starting with the Prima and this will be implemented throughout the fleet

They said the menu will have much more choice than the current one.

Lets wait to see what it looks like before to express concerns

Looks good, but I'm disappointed that there's no pound cake French toast at breakfast.

That does sound good, but I'm not turning my nose up at cinnamon raisin brioche french toast. I'm actually looking forward to the food offerings!
