Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 24, 2023 Author #305 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I can't really hear the announcements, but I think they're calling for passengers. We're safely onboard with no great place to watch pier runners. If we stay beyond 4, I'll know why. I also won't really care, but I do wish I could watch the pier runners more easily. Plenty of time to make it to Bermuda. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 24, 2023 Author #306 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I have stories to tell about my compadres on the bus. It'll take a bit, but expect fun stories of passenger stupidity. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sure enjoying the slots this evening though! Minus the crank and slots, I hope we are like them in a few decades! Omg, I though ambassadors are a myth...🙄 You found rare species in the wild going wild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy I didnt try one. Sometimes I choose to experience my environment with all the senses, including taste. This led to a very dusty mouthful of Spanish Moss when I was having an extremely spiritual moment at Brookgreen Gardens. I reached for a much too large handful and tried to chew it. That was a definite (non-poisonous) mistake! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 24, 2023 Author #314 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Dinner this evening was in the Haven! Pork Belly, Porcine Risotto, Prime Rib, and Decadent Chocolate Cake for me. I think we were at the table @kasimir occupied last night for Thanksgiving as it was very not bright. 13 piece Shrimp Cocktail and Pork Scallopini for him, with a scoop of ice cream (not pictured). 13 are not here as a couple were eaten prior to the photo. Still with the Shrimp Louie presentation, as you can see. We were told the presentation must remain, which is why a Shrimp Louie is presented. The meal tonight was excellent once a liberal layer of salt and pepper were applied. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 24, 2023 Author #315 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Slot pull tomorrow - confirmed with Casino Host and Manager. They will provide an attendant in case of malfunction and to ensure our good behavior. Let's hit a jackpot!! Details I posted in all places our cruise: We are all set for our slot pull at 11 AM tomorrow, 11/25! Meet at Belvedere Bar at 10:45, grab a coffee, and sign in. $30 per person, three pulls per person. More details in original post. Bring your best fortune! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality is not. it's difficult to say with certainty because there have been across the fleet cutbacks since i sailed the prima back in may and june... but have you considered your dissatisfaction may be related to the prima itself? and not NCL cruises overall? i hate to think you abandon ship (pun intended) over one disappointing cruise. without a doubt, quality is declining pretty much everywhere. but i found the prima to be unique in how poorly run the ship was from a quality control standpoint. and the lack of attention to detail. the only senior management officials that seem remotely interested in guest feedback were the F&B team. and that's ironic, since many of your concerns are about food and beverage. sure, you can fill out a survey when you get back... but you can also talk to some folks while onboard. i found the F&B team were awfully good listeners, especially when it came to comments about indulge. i'm sure they'd be equally interested in haven feedback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly possible. I'm not a "never again" kind of person. There's been too many times in my life when never has become let's do it again! Yesterday I was quite whiny. Part of that was my mood until we got on our excursion. Food has become better since Wednesday and Thursday. Not quite as good as before, but good. I have enjoyed Indulge. The lunch menu is a little lacking, but we've had dinner there twice and it has been good. I need to try that BBQ pork again at lunch to see if my whine was a one off. So far, I've enjoyed Pr1ma itself. I do have to amend my statement about creaking and popping now that seas are slightly more rough than a normal Caribbean sailing. Honestly the seas aren't that bad. But our stateroom does creak and pop. Same with the Haven Restaurant and the thermal suite. I don't know if this is normal or not. Maybe when waves are eight to ten feet (that's my very non scientific guess), all ships do this. I will say that we are not experiencing anything like you did! And, I'm thankful for that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 25, 2023 Author #319 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Breakfast today.... after the requisite pastries, fruits, cheeses, and meats from the buffet. There's no wondering why one gains weight on a cruise! One egg was perfectly runny. The other was perfectly hard boiled. Interesting dichotomy. Good breakfast. Husband had French Toast. I stole a bite as he really enjoys the dish. I didn't like the bread, so am glad I didn't order it. Today, the Slot Pull starts at 11, so we have something between eating and eating! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiseny4life Posted November 25, 2023 Author #320 Share Posted November 25, 2023 And a perfect Mahi Mahi sandwich for lunch. Scampi with extra shrimp for my husband. As I do on each cruise, I try the pizza. The thin crust pizza on Getaway and Joy is much preferred over this bready pizza. Kudos for experimenting though! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
