Where is this from? The shaded area on the bottom right looks like it says "LANDING" - maybe for that silly slide? Are you able to get a better snip of that area?

 

Seems you were right @Wendy&Grumpy!

 

 

 

On the port side there's a similar "wooden" fence;

 

 

 

 

(edit: Argh, I should have switched colors, the green arrow is the red one in the render above.. )

@Nikitasmilesnotfrowns, your render of the yellow and purple slide seems to be pulled. Where did you found it?  Mind sharing it again?

More info will be released by NCL on Sept 21, including itineraries for 2023/24!  Found out on another site👍 Yeah Prima😍

Hmmm, looks like maybe two slides starboard and one port?

A very sharp eye! I hereby crown you as co-emperor of this thread!

These corner cabins look rather awkward. 

Looks like clear site lines from balconies directly into neighboring cabins! 😲

Another point of view of the float out for all the aft lovers.  

 

I see my cabin and the balcony doesn't look anywhere near the advertised size. 🤨

I'm not disagreeing but I think that we'll need some more pix with higher resolution. It's extremely challenging to figure out the depth of the balconies ....

 

Still, for the Aft-Facing Penthouses with Master Bedroom and Large Balcony,  the deck plans and computer generated videos most certainly do NOT match the reality!  

 

It appears that the "best" balcony is on 14 but I would hate to take it until reviews confirm that there's no noise from pool pumps and drains. It almost looks like there's only one window on 13 but we will see. Still, with everything that's happened this past year or so, these are truly First World Worries!!!

The tug with Leo 2 on tow seems to be holding outside the lagoon, probably waiting to enter the (industrial) port.

I'm looking at the railing of the balconies.

On all the cruiseships I've been, the railing is make of a kind of plexiglass and transparent.

Here we see large bands of white.

Do you think this is only a protection over the glass during construction or if it is likely that they will remain the way we see them?

Protection. If you zoom in the first photo of 2 that @FreestyleNovice just posted, you’ll see some areas peeling away.

I'm glad they wait until I'm back from my Greek cruise to release more info  😁😁

If they are to release itineraries up to 2024, wouldn't think they would also disclose the name of the Leonardo 2 along with 1rst year of sailing?   For the Prima, they did it 15 months prior to inaugural sailing.  As it appears that the Leonardo 2 will be released in the spring of 2023, fall 2021 should be the time where the announcement is made?

Every ship under construction has that plastic film on the balcony glass as protection. I have watched many of these "Everything" threads as ships were being build and they all had that. Don't worry, it will be removed before the ship sets sail!

2 Questions: Sorry if this has been posted, but is there an Observation Lounge on deck 15 like on the Bliss, Encore, etc? That's my favorite public space on the newer NCL ships...also, I assume the The Waterfront now has a new name & concept? Thanks!!

We don't know the specifics of the upper decks yet, so can't answer about the Observation Lounge. There are spaced at the front, but also other areas to be announced such as the Spa.

 

The Waterfront name has gone, and is replaced by a Ocean Boulevard, which is bigger, but also has the potential to be busier. There is more going on there, with pools and the outside area from Indulge Food Hall.

It seems like they already covered some of that back in May although in a different format.

Since there is nothing on Prima, some Leo 2 pics to enjoy. 

 

Preparing the dock for Leo 2, facing towards Prima and the dry dock door.

 

Facing aft:

Filling up the dock:

 

Floating in Leo 2. After that close the dry dock door, position the mega block on top of the supports and pump out all the water to start construction in the dry dock.
