luv2cruisecats Posted July 29, 2015 #2826 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If folks start posting details about future sailings once in the US this will become a very cluttered post. Can those concerned/interested about future scheduled US ports and sailings start a new thread on this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SissasMomE Posted July 29, 2015 #2828 Share Posted July 29, 2015 As I was told months ago, the thread is for all things concerning the Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted July 29, 2015 Author #2829 Share Posted July 29, 2015 As I was told months ago, the thread is for all things concerning the Escape. Agreed. Anything related to Escape, as far as I am concerned. The thread will always get back to the ship at a certain point, keeps it alive too! I personally like to follow the build, others like to speculate about new ports, and others are comparing Haven suites which I will likely not sleep in for the next 20 years but I enjoy reading it all, from any of you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can those concerned/interested about future scheduled US ports and sailings start a new thread on this please? This post really confused me as the thread is, after all, labelled "All Things Escape" so, I went to the first page and it says: In the (new) tradition of having an Everything.. thread I welcome all of you to the discovering Everything ESCAPE thread! Feel free here to speculate, share, discuss and fanboy the next NCL ship, Escape. Personally, I like reading about lots of things beside the build.

andriamay Posted July 29, 2015 #2833 Share Posted July 29, 2015 We always sailed in the lowest CAT so we could afford 2 rooms. We are sailing in a Family Mini suite in Dec. This will be our first time sailing with our 4 year olds in 1 cabin. I would love a report on your experience. We had to take advantage of Kids Sail free Promo! I'd be happy to share:). If we split we wouldn't have got the kids free so it was t with it to split. In too practical. This will be our first cruise w/out a balcony [emoji16]. It's also the first one with all five of us.

Rocky4ever Posted July 30, 2015 #2842 Share Posted July 30, 2015 As of now Escape is scheduled for next week. To dock along side Meyer Wreft outfitting wet dock. Also Ovation is scheduled for 2nd mega block to enter Building 6. For the 2nd week in Aug. Escape would have to leave to make room for OoTS to be blocked. Not to mention the timeline would be in line with BA & GA float out's timeline. According to Meyerwerft FB page the float out is scheduled for mid August: "Die Bugbemalung und die Arbeiten am Schiffskörper gehen weiter voran. Der Innenausbau läuft auf Hochtouren – und Mitte August wird die Norwegian Escape das Baudock verlassen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjer Posted July 30, 2015 #2844 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We always sailed in the lowest CAT so we could afford 2 rooms. We are sailing in a Family Mini suite in Dec. This will be our first time sailing with our 4 year olds in 1 cabin. I would love a report on your experience. We had to take advantage of Kids Sail free Promo! My Family of 4 have always sailed in a balcony or mini and never had any issues, sure its small but we don't live in our room. The mini on Getaway was a great bathroom so large it really helps. Easy to shower both kids at once. When my kids where that small I would pack their outfits in zip lock bags, everything they would need to get dressed including hair things and underwear. It makes unpacking a breeze and easy to get dressed. A pop up hamper in the closet or by the balcony door is a good to keep dirty clothing in one place. When it gets full I dump in a case under the bed. We also find the closest public bathroom in case 2 people need to go at the same time. Sure its a little walk but my DH doesn't mind :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted July 30, 2015 #2846 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The mini on Getaway was a great bathroom so large it really helps. Easy to shower both kids at once. FYI to those cabin shopping - Our standard balcony cabin on Getaway had a shower so large we could have fit 2 large adults in it very comfortably. We even joked that we could likely get 3 in there at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruisecats Posted July 30, 2015 #2847 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is the best of all NCL hull paintings in my opinion...but I have not yet seen all their ships. What could be a better fit on a cruise line ship that "lives" in the ocean among the wonderful creatures depicted? Looks like a home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjer Posted July 30, 2015 #2848 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I love Getaway's mermaid see avatar....thinking how to take a picture with the sailfish or turtle...mmmmm kissing the turtle DH actually has a tee shirt from Guy Harvey that really matches the hull to bad its long sleeve.

paulh84 Posted July 30, 2015 #2850 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Great pictures! Looks like there is still a lot of work left to do on the interior. Hopefully their contractors more quicker then the guys working on my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
