Oh, yeah - M&G ...don't forget to sign up for the complimentary BTS tour, it was interesting to see one of the mini or smaller, but full scale gallery, think you'll like it - and depending on the CN team, stop at the crew lounge/bar too.

They weren’t able to serve Blue Moon until a little while ago as we got far enough away from the port!

Prime Rib is killer, tonite….

@graphicguy one of my coworkers is on this cruise. It's his first cruise and this is going to sound strange, but if you run across him say "Cindy said Hi!".  His name is Yves and he's easy to spot, huge guy (not fat, just big), lots of tatoos, traveling with his twin girls (about 9 but look older) and his wife (British acent for her). I'm sure he'll be in the gym almost evert day.  He's a terrific guy.

Thanks in advance if you do cross paths.

Cindy

Free entertainment at the bar…guy’s wife and friends trying to get him to go to his cabin as he’s MF-ing all of them..loudly!

 

Sad…well…funny in a way…still sad

 

Wife/GF just called him a “donkey” and left.  

 

He’s trying to talk to the other patrons, except me for some reason.  

 

He finally left (staggered) talking to himself!

 

And, the cruise is officially under way!

[graphicguy]

Can’t remember if it was the Prima that people said “creaked”.  Not glass smooth waters tonite, but no big waves. either.  Rocking a little.  No creaks so far!

[graphicguy]

Found a Haven Bar Menu…

[graphicguy]

Tower of Spirits….

@graphicguy other than the drunk guy at the haven bar did you catch any entertainment last night?  When we were on Prima in December the first night in the theater they had a show featuring Familiar Strangers.  Not sure if they are still on the ship.  They played mostly Smokey Robinson music.  Lead singer was probably one of the best singers we have ever seen on a cruise ship.

 

Have you been to the Manhattan bar yet?  They have a bartender there whose thing is to balance wine glasses on his head while he is pouring the wine.  He even got a tightwad like me to reach in my pocket to cough up a little something extra for his performance.

Gooooooooood Morrrrning!  Feeling better than I have any right to feel.  Little overcast, but warm!

 

I’m on deck 13.  Cabin was dead silent!
 

I have a Purple Bed at home, which is wonderful.  The cabin bed beats it.

 

The shower…..THE SHOWER!  Oh my..in a good way!

 

Coffee on the balcony, the. check out the Continental Breakfast.

 

Head scratcher…no wastebasket in the bathroom?

 

I can. e a bit slow, but even with pictograms it took me more than a few minutes to turn off all the cabin lights.  

 

Light blocking in the ca i. was excellent.  It was inky black

I bounced around last night.  There was entertainment everywhere!  Either solos or groups.  Show in Syd’s was great!

 

I didn’t hit every entertainment venue, yet.  I’ll get there!

Yes sad.  It breaks my heart to see people that wasted and so clueless. Love seeing all the pics.  Missing Prima, again.

Not the blazing speed I get at home, but for a cruise ship?  Pretty danged good!

[graphicguy]

The art on board and the layout is so different than other NCL ships.  I personally love the new look!

[Liljo22]

Is the wastebasket not attached to the inside of the door under the sink?  I didn’t have a Haven cabin but that is where mine was.
