  1. Okay this is good info! Thank you so much!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    OOH I don't know that I can do that! It truly "hangs" over the water, off the edge of the ship, right? I'd LIKE to do that but there's no way I could do that. Maybe I can convince my buddy to!

     

     

    That's what alcohol was invented for[emoji484][emoji481][emoji483]

  2. Is there a weight limit on the ropes course on NCL?

     

    We're going on the Escape and I looked online but don't see one.

     

     

     

    My travel buddy weighs 270 and said that there's usually a limit of 250. Does anyone know?

     

     

     

    Thanks!

     

     

    Don't forget to "walk the plank" it's really cool.

  3. RCL outdoes NCL with everything

     

     

    I agree, but there is the price difference.

    RCCL in my opinion has hands down the best ship innovations.

     

    But if you want Oasis or Quantum class, you're going to pay a considerable higher per diem for it.

     

    We still think Disney was the best overall family cruise experience.

  4. I doubt he really cares nor do many others. This isn't what cruising is all about to most of us. Slides are fun for kids and a lot of adults, but if this is one of the reasons someone cruises, choose the line with the best slides, being in RCI or whatever. To each his own.

     

     

    1) How do you know what "most of us"

    cruise for?

    2) When we started cruising it was a complete 180 from the experience it is today.

    3) If "most of us" didn't want these things, the cruise lines wouldn't build these enormous floating theme parks.

    4) It's called progress, even HAL is rebranding to get the younger crowd & families on there fleet.

    5) The only place where I believe your statement would be true is in Las Vegas. In the late 90's they tried to lure in the family crowd. When that BACKFIRED, it was back to basics for Vegas. LEAVE THE KIDS HOME.

  5. Wow!

     

    My point was that you said the price with SDP was $17 whatever. That is crap math, but I didn't want to say that. Jeesh.

     

    Someone had an extra giant helping of bitchflakes this morning.

     

     

    BITCH FLAKES,

    That is my wife's favorite breakfast. She eats them for week, every month.

  6. The davits were manufactured by Davit International, the same as Breakaway.

     

    The additional width, which is in the hull, was largely added to provide more stability to compensate for the extra decks.

     

     

    Wrong on both counts. This ships water displacement may be larger, but the plimsoll line marker is identical the her smaller bros.

     

    Unlike BA/GA decks 15-18 use a lighter

    Aluminum alloy in leu of the heavier steel plates used in the lower decks.

    That helps to stabilize he and make her less top heavy

     

    Also Davits Int. subbed out to Sundex marine for the new RB75-H GST system. That's why P-P is wider.

     

    Boo Ya!!!!

  7. The only reason the the Escape is wide is two fold.

     

    They extended the walking area of the waterfront. And the width is not the Hull width. It's the point to point widest part of the ship.

     

    Meyer Wreft Is using a new sub contractor of the life boat davits. They are approx 11" wider than the (away) class. That makes up the wider ships beam.

     

    So, unless the rooms are shorter the balc should be the same as the aways. Maybe with a very few exceptions.
