hhfarmer Posted July 28, 2015 #2801 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have been trying to figure out where the sofa bed will be. The O2 has two doubles and a sofa bed. Called NCL and they did not know. They guarantee as the site says that there is a sofa bed... they just don't know the configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarmer Posted July 28, 2015 #2802 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I was booked into 14700 but changed to 12700 due to the overhang from the bridge above 14700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted July 28, 2015 Author #2803 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have been trying to figure out where the sofa bed will be. The O2 has two doubles and a sofa bed. Called NCL and they did not know. They guarantee as the site says that there is a sofa bed... they just don't know the configuration. Best guess is beds near the window, pure speculation.. and the sofa somewhere back/near the bathroom? I suspect the O2's to be wider as shown on the deckplans, there's a white gap between the O2 and the regular oceanviews. How else to fit 4? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missdixie Posted July 29, 2015 #2804 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks everybody for the updates. Excitement is building. Making me smile. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andriamay Posted July 29, 2015 #2805 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Howdy yall! I'm trying to sift through all the pages...this is a MASSIVE thread! I'm about to pull the trigger on booking 2 Escape sailings b2b next May for our youngest son's homeschool graduation. (It'll take place during the trip.) I'm forcing the family to buck-up & *rough* it by squeezing all 4 of us into 1 stateroom. I say squeeze because my boys will be 20 & 18 yrs old so they're big fellas. I'm looking at a category BB midship balcony room on deck 13. It's a little different because the balcony has a bit of an odd shape. Will this make the balcony a little bigger? It's stateroom 13778 as seen in the deck plan I'm attaching. Has anyone had this room on the BA or GA? It says it sleeps 4. Speculation for a pullman in here? Thanks in advance! Gotta say, the excitement here is soooooo infectious!!!!!! Un-cruise related but congrats on your youngest sons homeschool graduation! We're a new homeschool family.). We're squeezing five of us [emoji16] into an ocean view family room. We will survive if we hate it next time we'll get two rooms;). Have a blast on your btb cruises[emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4ever Posted July 29, 2015 #2806 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Yep, right here in this thread. That's why I wanted to double check. I posted that date in another thread, and about 12 people went crazy on me saying it's scheduled for September, and no one came to my defense to say any different, so I was starting to think maybe I'd imagined it. haha I guess the Float out will be anytime before the festival on Sept 5th as the Escape will be highlighted in the background.

kalesco Posted July 29, 2015 #2807 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Will try to snap a few shots of the Escape's O2 if they open up some mix of cabins for show, they usually do! edit; this different (taken from BA/GA): I usually don't quote images, so I apologize, but in this case it's important ;) This picture shows an accessible cabin (12700 is marked as handicapped/accessible cabin on both BA and GA). Please don't be disappointed when not every O2 (or O1) has that much space :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted July 29, 2015 Author #2810 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Here are some pics of Breakaway's cabin 13100Pic1 Pic2 O1, but how will that sq fit. fit 4 (i.e. sofa?). Therefore I expect the O2 to be wider. Or it should be, to be a real(istic) family ocean view IMO. :) Curious to see one in Oct!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accommodates: 4-5. Total Approx. Size: 218 sq. ft. On Breakaway the Oceanview with Large Picture Window OA (pictures above) accommodates 2 with total approx. size of 161 sq. ft.

Total Approx. Size: 218 sq. ft. On Breakaway the Oceanview with Large Picture Window OA (pictures above) accommodates 2 with total approx. size of 161 sq. ft. Hm, so one third of extra sq ft for the step up to Family Oceanview. Roughly. This is Escape deck plan with all her O2's in one view, notice the white gaps next to the O2's/...700 series staterooms; My best guess is that, in line with the not-yet-telling-where-the-balconies-beds-bump-in-out-will-be, NCL thought it would be better to show those O2's a bit smaller to avoid angry forward facing Haven suite guests about their sq. ft. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't be disappointed when not every O2 (or O1) has that much space :D BTW, could it be that the O2 will be similar to ..700/12700, less or relocated handicapped/accessible and they used the extra sq ft to make it a Family? Just a thought, if the width of that part of the ship stayed the same since BA/GA (we found out here they did change a lot to the Breakaway class to make it a Plus class) It would make sense, more revenue, less travel time for a disabled person from the elevators etc..
