LrgPizza Posted October 12, 2015 #51 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Bliss officially going to China, as we all suspected. Did anyone read this part, "Additional details, including the ship's name, homeport, accommodations, dining and entertainment will be shared in the coming months." I wonder if the name will change to something other than Bliss? Edited October 12, 2015 by LrgPizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted October 12, 2015 Author #52 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Hm, still quite a surprise to me. Probably wishful thinking on my part. :) Perhaps there is some kind of synergy/productivity benefit with Genting World being built a few months ahead of Bliss at Meyer too.

Probably wishful thinking on my part. :) Perhaps there is some kind of synergy/productivity benefit with Genting World being built a few months ahead of Bliss at Meyer too. There's definitely some synergy remaining from their long involvement with each other. You can't go 15 years without a huge flow of people, ideas, and even ships. NCL has been mustering whatever Star resources are left on their end for a while now to see what can be put together, an effort that inevitably led to the leaks we heard here.

st2288 Posted October 12, 2015 #56 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I bet the casino is at least twice as big. A lot of fee for charges. High end shopping arcades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kismet618 Posted October 12, 2015 #58 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Do you think the artist formerly known as "Prince" will be the Godfather for the ship formerly known as "Bliss?" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted October 12, 2015 #59 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Do you think the artist formerly known as "Prince" will be the Godfather for the ship formerly known as "Bliss?" :) Nope, that works only with a ship formerly called "Kiss" :p! steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deladypilot Posted October 12, 2015 #60 Share Posted October 12, 2015 This is so disheartening. I was waiting patiently to see where it was going to go and planned to book on day one but im in no way interested in China. I wish NCL well in the venture but im disappointed. Guess I will just have to wait for the Ship that was not supposed to be the Bliss to come out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted October 12, 2015 Author #61 Share Posted October 12, 2015 .. Guess I will just have to wait for the Ship that was not supposed to be the Bliss to come out :) Q2 2018 for Breakaway Plus #3 and Q4 2019 for #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybone Posted October 12, 2015 #62 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I bet the casino is at least twice as big. A lot of fee for charges. High end shopping arcades. NCL will have to change back CAS the way it was for sure. The Asian market Knows where to gamble their money and they get comped very well. I hope they up the CAS perks soon.

There's likely to be repositioning cruises through Europe and the Middle East that you could partake in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnacle_boy Posted October 12, 2015 #68 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I'd like to point out that the rendering NCL attached to their new announcement shows a ship that is radically different from both Breakaway and Escape. It also includes the inboard lifeboats that I discussed previously here that were developed for possible West Coast deployments for future ships. The fewer number of lifeboats also suggests a lower max passenger capacity. Edited October 12, 2015 by barnacle_boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted October 12, 2015 Author #69 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for the pic! Indeed the lifeboats, hmm.. Also: the bridge is one deck lower, for what? Escape style hot tubs on top sun deck. Bulb at pool deck, also hot tub or skywalk like thing? White windowless part a few decks down from the outdoor Haven dining?

FreestyleNovice Posted October 12, 2015 Author #70 Share Posted October 12, 2015 What also stands out is the double deck of "public space windows" on, is that deck 14? A space (or at least one side of the ship) the size of the buffet on BA/GA/ES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
