Thanks for the link. Maybe I a jumping the gun seeing pre-launch pictures but I can't help thinking the interior is rather dated and also from a layout that pillar in the theater looks terrible!

 

I'll reserve further judgement until I see it but it isn't as inspirational as I thought it could've been, I was expecting something like RCI's QOS in terms of modern interior design.

I am starting to get excited

Stay tuned for more pics -- we just got off the ship, long three hour tour this morning and are posting some on "We're on Norwegian Escape tomorrow...What do you want to know?"

 

Mind you that was written on Monday, so we've been on -- are posting photos there, on Facebook, and via a Cruise Critic slideshow.

I agree with you. It definitely has that old school/traditional cruise ship look that has been around for quite some time. While not necessarily a bad thing, I think it will seem a little dated and tired in short time.

Thanks for sharing the link.

The pics look great.

 

It did seem to me like Bliss on Breakaway was underutilized space so I won't miss it. Glad they made the atrium bigger.

 

New restaurants--yay!

It looks very...brown. I hope the colors aren't actually that muted. I've always enjoyed NCL's colorful carpets.

I almost booked the Escape for next summer while onboard, these photos just sealed the deal for me. My family loved the Getaway and the Escape will offer lots of similarities and yet some tweaks.

 

One downside is the buffet will be louder due to the lack of carpeting, but I'm sure the food will still be awesome.

 

Now to find a discount!

Can't wait to see more pictures! We love the 'away' ships. We are booked for Escape in January:D
