Everything... project Leonardo/Prima class!

[Steff79]

 

table soccer for free ( kicker or Tischfußball in German )

 

i like the food hall

pad thai was a little dry but ok. 

 

Will I give a ride. A ride 8 dollar or day pass ( for 60 minutes , not sure if this is the netto play time or how they count it) for 28 dollars I think. Not included escape room and a other game there what I don‘t understood the name. 

 

Observation lounge is Great.

As for the Vibe Beach Club - there are no cabanas. The Vibe Bar will be open for everyone in the evening (not sure about the time). There you get nice non alcoholic cocktails and cocktails with low alcohol.

 

 

Do you know if they're on the way? Are they automatically refunding the difference for anyone who booked a cabana?

[Steff79]

Studio Lounge. But no glasses no mit sure if the Automata work:

 

 

the right one is for cola cola etc.

The Squok Club was not available but not because it wasn´t ready. It was used as storage.

 

Some stuff might not really work. So when you press the button in the Infinity Pool nothing happens. There was no under water massage in the Thalassotherapy Pool in the Spa. The Spa is missing hooks for towels / bathrobes. But all were minor glitches.

 

I was told that there were about 100 workers still onboard for the last finishings but you hardly saw them.

Thanks steamboats

Honnestly, I am quite surprised that there are so few glitches. And the ones you mentioned are very minor and we can still enjoy our cruise.  Boarding in 10 days

There was a sign in our balcony cabin that coffee makers are available upon request.

Thank you!

I like the place under the race track 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don‘t get the new cocktail concept. If the Barkeeper tells me correct they have only 4 cocktails at a day. And one cocktail change everyday. And some classics maybe, but he had no menu for them? An if a want a cocktail from a other day I have to go to a special bar? I didn‘t get it. 
 

the pizza at the buffet is very good. 
 

and the mama kombucha pineapple was good too. 

The Weißbier too, but they have no glasses for Weißbier.

The Cabanas were on sale for my Jan Cruise until recently (CAD in the photo). Now they're "too early to book" so I think they're likely realizing their mistake...

 

[Steff79]

That is something I don‘t get, you have there a awesome glass front at the atrium and then put shops for them? Die other site with Starbucks is not much better but there are some places to sit down behind.

Like I mentioned, my opinion.  We all have our own value propositions.  
 

When I first purchased a Vibe pass on GETAWAY years ago I thought it was a great value and worth every penny.  On a much more recent BLISS cruise not so much.  

 

Frankly Celebrity is more suited to me these days. As I get older I prefer a Vibe style deck experience on the entire ship, without paying an extra dime.  This being said PRIMA is a ship I want to try.  Take away all the “attractions” and it reminds me a lot of Celebrity’s Edge Class.  

I did the VIbe pass on the Epic years ago, Caribbean, I used it all the time.  Love those round covered day beds.  It was great, I could watch all the pool action without the crowd.  Not sure if I'd do it in Alaska or cold place. They brought around fruit and canopies every now and again.  Having a hot tub would have been a bonus.

Is it just me or does this Haven not have the same “luxurious” feel that some of the ones on the breakaway class ships do? Don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice…just a different feel to someone of the others I’ve experienced.

It definitely does not. You can see that especially in the Haven suites/cabins.  Gone is the spill over luxury for a modern, minimalist chic look.  If it was not for the bigger space you could think it was a standard room with a larger balcony.  The 2 bedroom has cut back on luxury features like a giant marble bar but has increased sensibility of a real second bedroom and a real bed that could sleep 2 adults easily.

I'm not Haven but there is that huge change from a private courtyard to private open aft.

I did not see any drawers in the 2 bedroom Haven suite.  Where do we put the things that we don't want left out when the room steward is cleaning?  I know that video did not show the closets, but I saw a photo of a closet in the 2 bedroom and no drawers.  The same suite in the Breakway + has SO much storage.  I will miss it, but am really looking forward to our cruise on the Prima.

 I noticed the same thing in the Haven 2 bedroom based on photos and videos posted so far…Storage is extremely limited.  It will be interesting.  Especially when there are 6 guests in that room.  Also no hooks or towels racks in The bathrooms. Very strange.

It has a more "residential" vibe which is the design trend these days.  You're seeing much more of this even in upscale hotel chains like Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons.  As usual, cruise ships often follow design trends that have already started on land. 

New York's newest ULTRA luxury hotel, the Aman, New York is a membership only hotel with rates of $4,000/nt. The aesthetic is a sleek, cool, contemporary Asian.  The Haven has the same aesthetic.

so seems like they got rid of the carpet reflection issue that i saw on bliss. it was distracting seeing the carpet in the window reflection all the time

[seasidemama]

Curious - question to those on board - how good/reliable is the wifi? Are you able to do video calls with some consistency?

Does the studio lounge have multiple entrances?  Hoping for the shortest distance to coffee 🙂

At the Metropolitan Bar and at the Belvedere Bar they were more or less limited to the menu. The one of the Belvedere Bar was not that much. There´s much more at the Metropolitan Bar. You get almost everything in the Observation Lounge (and we even asked our Lemon Drop Martini to be made with Limoncello - we talked to the bar tender the night before when we also had a Lemon Drop Martini but just with regular vodka and lemon juice). The Whiskey Bar has only a few cocktails but the bar tenders can make much more as long as they do have the ingredients. So the new 66 Gin was not available there (but in the Metropolitan Bar). The new cocktails at the Vibe Beach Bar are nice - some zero proof, some lighter versions. They are open for the public in the evening. The Penrose Bar should also be able to make everything.

 

I also found it a bit odd that some bars are limited to the menu of their specialty cocktails.

I didn‘t got a rebelish fish at the pool bar. And for a peach cocktail, I forgot the name, it was the wrong day. They make that coktail only sundays. They have 7 cocktails for every day at the menu, so you have 7 cocktails there but can only order the coktail for the weekday what we have at the moment.  That concept sounds a little strange. 
 

Someone wrote they charge for Minigolf but it is free at the moment. 
 

 

the studio lounge have different entrance. 
 

 

 

At sea day the water is 1,20 high and at port 1,50. ( or something about that)

small breakfast items at oberservation lounge. 

 

 

breakfast at food hall. They have to complete the concept there. You don’t really know what is where. And every place has only 1 or 2 items. No omelette what should easily possible. Salmon wrap , Musli , hot milk, fruit salad and sweet things for example. At the Buffett is food republic open to sit down.

The golf is free right now because they don’t have the correct balls for the game and it’s fully working so it’s not the same thing as it will be very disappointing to be honest yes it’s okay but we good money to come here atleast it’s free for now it’s going to be $15 later

This is the sign for the in room coffee maker.

@Steff79 I didn´t see the Rebellious Fish either. The Drink of the Day Cocktails are the sustainable cocktails. One is availble at various bars per day. All of them are available each day at the Metropolitan Bar.

 

Indulge Food Hall has a breakfast menu. Try out the Egg White And Avocado Wrap at the Seaside Rotisserie. I think I saw ready made omelettes at the Tamara for breakfast (veggie and with ham). But no omelette you can order.

 

Make sure to check the Indulge for Lunch and Dinner. There are different menus.
