We are going to book on the Epic for next summer. We have had the haven act facing on the escape twice and love it. It seems there is really nothing similar on the epic. The owner’s suite seems to be the closest. We love the 180 degree view from the aft. How much is the view obstructed by the water slides, etc. in the owners suites that face to the aft? How are the forward facing balconies for wind, size, view, etc.? Any feedback on which of the rooms is the best is greatly appreciated!

We are currently on the Escape sailing towards Greece. This ship has had issues, but we're going with the flow. We left Rome late yesterday and we're about 2-3 hrs out when we had a medical emergency with a passenger and had to return to Rome. The coast guard arrive and took  the patient to a Hospital. Now on day #2 and we had an apparent equipment emergency and we have to slow down. Next is the Captains announcement that due to the delays that we will not stop at Santorini. Lots of Passengers not happy, but not much we can do. Don't know if NCL plans on compensating us for the missed port. We totally understand, but it's still disappointing.  We will continue to look forward to the other ports, and hope everything goes as planned. We love NCL and will continue sailing with her. We still have plenty of food and Alcohol on the ship. 

Do you happen to know if the kids' clubs have re-opened? Thank you!

Jennifer was our butler on the Escape last week. She was superb. Went out of her way to help us and was so nice. 

David, as previously noted, is the concierge and was excellent.

The whole staff in the Haven on Escape was fantastic.

The Haven Restaurant staff especially.

Who all is on staff at the Haven restaurant still? We loved so many of them the last time we sailed!

This is the best news! We had David on our last cruise on the Escape in January of 2020 and were hoping he would be on our next one in June! 

Thank you! We have the aft corner suite. I’m hopeful there is enough room to not be too cramped! Anything larger has been sold out for quite some time.

KatRangoon - if you don’t mind me asking, what kind of room did you have?

That’s great! Thank you!

Has anyone used a crib on the seaside or Seaview? What where the dimensions as far as sheets? Pack and play or crib sized sheets? Does anyone have a picture of how it fit into your room? Thank you!

Can someone with experience booking on MSC help? We are booked in a suite on the new Seaview for 8/3/18. We are traveling with our 14 month daughter. The highest room category available when we booked (and still) is a suite. The description says it includes a bathtub, but the pictures I am seeing on the Seaside and projected room pictures show a pretty tiny shower for any room let alone a suite. I’d happily book a higher room category, but there isn’t a single one available. My main question is, has anyone seen higher category rooms open up closer to sailing, or are we pretty much stuck in a room that appears way too small for a suite and a miniature bathroom? Thank you!

We are planning our biannual European cruise for June and will be taking our daughter who will be one at that time. She is a water baby, so we want a shop where she can have come fun too. Other than Disney and select Royal Caribbean ships, do any other ships allow children in swim diapers in any pools/splash pads/etc? Thank you!
