We saw plenty of people playing cards all over. Did not do shows since the venues are always over crowded. My main complaints with Pr1ma are the cushioned furniture is so worn down it looks as is they got them from a thrift store. Also the stair cases in the atrium are very dangerous. I nearly stumbled, a gentlemen fell on them he was sober too. I also had heard from a reliable staff member that a person had fallen on a previous cruise, cracked their head opened and well did not survive the fall. Use the elevators or the other set of stairs. Stay off of the white atrium stairs.

On my cruise I saw tons of people playing cards and board games in what I believe was the Observation Lounge and even at the the Local Bar. For the singles activities they were playing at the Belvedere Lounge on the side with the couches.
