Odd, because I seem to recall all machines being labeled in one of the threads if not this one, which would be tough to do in 2 days plus reading something about it in advance of launch.

 

If they were planning on smoking, then yes, not having air filters is a big miss (unless they do have them and just not working as well as on the Epic due to air flow)

 

 

That's not true. The original intent was smoking and no smoking areas like the away ships. FDR came onboard 2 days before the first cruise and had them remove 1/2 the machines in the hallway and rule no smoking until after the inaugural cruises.

can anyone say what the outlet situation is in the room? Are there any USB charging ports? Does the bathroom have a US plug or only Euro style plugs?

I don't recall the bathroom having any plugs at all. :confused: Then again, I didn't specifically look for one.

 

There are a couple US outlets on the desktop, and there are USB plugs on either side of the bed. That's all I recall.

In balcony cabins there are US outlets in the dresser, and a USB outlet in each bedside lamp.

 

In the bathroom there is one "shaver only" outlet. See pic. It's up near the ceiling in the upper righthand corner of the photo. It's a little black looking box.

I must admit I was fearful that all my hard work would be undone by the Escape having a no smoking Casino, then its goes to a boxed in smoking area, now it seems like in the end it will just be another smoked out area.

 

I was thrilled that I could smoke in the casino. I was worried originally when they said that the casino is no smoking. They could have made the whole casino smoking and nothing would have changed, the gambling junkies still would have gone there to gamble and get their fix.

The bathroom is exactly the same as the Getaway.

Just received the email regarding the Margaritaville restaurant being a la carte. We sail this Saturday. Not much notice. A big disappointment.

Is it at all interesting that NCL is waiting to email folks until a few days prior to each sailing, or is this standard operating procedure with a change like this?

 

I was thinking maybe they're purposely waiting to notify upcoming guests in case they have to make tweaks to the policy in response to the on-board results (adjusting prices and/or shifting to cover-charge).

I am thrilled also that you could smoke in the casino, though not for the same reason.

I already answered that question they are regular American plugs

 

There are nearly 7K posts here, can't go through all of them. Eroller said there is a razor outlet in the bathroom, which means I may have to get an adapter for my US style plug.

 

Nice to know about the USB chargers built in. That's a nice feature!

Wow, we haven't moved past this whole smoking debate yet? It should be its own thread for those who want to continuously bash each other and keep beating the dead horse...

 

Here's a question about the Escape: How's the live music been? What and where can you find it? More specifically, what is the band(s) like at 5 o'clock bar? Are they playing rock covers, 60s-70s rock covers or more of an island Caribbean sound? I'm envisioning a band comparable to what you would see at the Tropical Isle on Bourbon St; decent, but not great but does the job while your knocking down a few drinks.

 

How has the music/band been at the pool area? Rock, reggae, calypso? Steel drums?

 

Haven't been on the away ships, but I remember the Epic had the Blues/Jazz bar (which I know has since changed) and if I recall there was a solo act that would play out in front of the whiskey bar.

Thanks! What type of room was that in? (Curious what rooms have a coffee maker; that's a nice touch).

 

Pardon my ignorance, what is the wood shelf/ottoman?

 

Np. Regular balcony. :)

It's a (quite heavy) tray if you turn it upside down or when in place on the stool it's small table.

Sorry if this has been answered but don't have time to go searching the thread for it...can we not book a spa treatment until we get onboard? I was looking at ncl.com after logging in and can't seem to find where or if you can book before boarding. Thanks if advance!

Wow, really? Interesting.

 

I'm betting a lot of people left stuff inside of them when they left.

I liked using it as a dirty clothes hamper on GETAWAY. Worked great. Disney has something similar. The coffee table opens up for storage.

LOL and my cabin steward on Breakaway used it to store items he cleared from the mini-bar (at our request). Too funny -- could be a hamper one cruise and a repository for food and drink on the next.

Exactly. I wouldn't put anything in there if you had concerns about germs!
