I love this idea, but I am sad that the original is closing. Still, at least they will maintain the specialties.

Um, isn't it Getaway that has the Miami theme?

I don't believe that it was ever announced that Escape would also have a Miami theme...

Yikes - guess you're right! Still love the idea...something new and different - on the Escape (even without the Miami theme). 😜

This is really cool!

I hope they bring most of their menu. Tobacco Road is a major local hangout for Miami peeps for over 100 years. I love their chicken sandwich, burger, and fresh cut fries.

Mr. Sheehan really loves Miami. He ought to since he lives in probably the best condo on South Beach.

Just out of curiosity does anyone know why the place is closing after so many years?

Well, at least so far, it will be based in Miami. So why not a Miami-themed venue? ;)

*fingers crossed* that your right! Good food on top of a cool hangout would be awesome. 😊

They are moving to a new location.

Tobacco Road in Miami is closing because of another condo boom in Miami. The owner of the commercial strip got an outrageous amount of money for the property that also housed Tobacco Road. They are so successful so they are moving to another part of Miami. Their last official open date is this Saturday.

That's all Miami needs.....more condos and less parking :eek:

The way that news read seems to be only the Bar portion is coming and not the food, or I would hope that its a replacement of osheehans id like to see that name go away.

O'Sheehan's is already visible in the deck plans*, it is definitely not going away. Also they are in process of introducing the concept (next generation of Blue Lagoon) to many other ships in the fleet.

If the deck 8 stays similar to one on Breakaway class, I'd guess that Tobacco Road will be in the place of Sugarcane Mojito Bar or Sunset Bar on Getaway - both have also outside spaces on Waterfront.

That is my guess - as well.

Interesting thought....but I agree with Demonyte - not likely since O'Sheehans is already showing on the deck plans AND who it's named after! :rolleyes:

I was thinking perhaps it would be in place of Fat Cats/Grammy Experience. Since Tobacco Road in Miami has live music, maybe this will have music.

Based on all of your discussion, the Sunset Bar is the space likely being replaced on Escape. O'Sheehan's is being expanded fleet-wide. So is the Sugarcane Mojito Bar. So, as you say, neither is not going to appear on Escape and her sisters.

Well CEOs don't last so a name change should be fine

I don't think Sheehan is going anywhere soon. If he leaves, it'll be of his own volition. He's the darling of the industry, especially compared to the more staid leadership at RCI and Carnival. Although I think the comparisons to Steve Jobs and Apple are over the top, Sheehan's work on transforming NCL has been astonishing.

This is really cool!

I hear the original Tobacco Road is moving to a new location in Miami. Any idea where that might be?? I think I'd like to find them!! 😊

Link to a news article was posted on post #12 in this thread couple of days ago.

"Specifically, the new Tobacco Road will be at 69 SW 7th Street in Miami."
