Here are threads about the Encore, sorted by most recent. This search is quickly and easily done using the drop-down menu at the top of the NCL forum ("See posts about:"). You then would need to change the sort by to reflect date rather than relevancy (the link below has this done already but the pre-formatted search does not have that sort). https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=encore&type=forums_topic&nodes=64&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles On this search you'll see that someone asked the same question 10 days ago and got an answer with a link to another thread where they were posted. Just pointing out that you wouldn't need to wait 4 hours for a response in the future, if the information you seek has been posted before...

Not knowing where the sensors are for the stop/go system (see the light at the beginning?) would probably help with that. If it's somewhere before the exit of the slide, it could be an issue as they likely designed it for maximum throughput, timing it so someone could start as the previous rider is exiting. If they put it right at the tunnel exit, it won't trigger until you're out of the tunnel so there's no worry. If they have it as a manual system (or provide the crew members a way to manually over ride the go signal if someone doesn't exit properly) then there's little chance of a run-over.

'tents' to protect workers and materials for welding and/or painting.

Yup, that was the one...

Sure, but they're not waterslides. At least not all of them are.

Not that it's too late to do anything about it, but once your perk airfare is issued there is nothing you can do about it because of the way it's booked. It has nothing to do with timing.

Based on their history from the last ship build thread, patience is not something that poster possesses. I have them on ignore...

Book the flat-fee first, so that it assumes you're using your FAS meals and doesn't charge. One person can book a table of maximum size in any of the other venues, the system doesn't need to know who exactly will be there and "payment" is handled at the table.

Is Haven called out special on that table as getting 3?

Yeah, they've been on my account for a while now as well. Yes

@PATRLR on a computer (preferably but it may work in a browser on a mobile device, I can NOT see them in the app on my phone), log in to your account. Once logged in you have the My NCL menu in the top right, hover over that and click on My Account (between your name and your Latitudes number). They'll be right on that page.

That was probably my topic, or my post in another topic. When I tried to book a cruise I couldn't use more than two certificates during the booking process, including CND's. If you plan on paying a cash deposit or full payment at the time of booking, that may not be an issue (I did not try booking a Canada/NE cruise so I can't say with certainty if it will allow both to be used, just noting the limitation I saw). That 20% is ONLY for a Fall 2022 Canada/NE cruise, the season for which runs through early November. Yes, they just get mysteriously added to our accounts, maybe it was in one of the Latitudes emails I ignored. My sister got the 10% one as well and she hasn't cruised since 2019.

This place was on a show here in the US recently - How Did They Build That! Quite fascinating!

Again, none of the Haven balconies have the slide going THROUGH them. Look at the deck plans I posted above - the cabins with the slides through the deck are 14190, 14790, 14192 and 14792 (and the ones in the same places on other decks, they're not numbered the same), none of those are Haven cabins.

Sorry, I wouldn't consider 14900 or 14300 (or the ones in the same locations on other decks) private with the balconies of those other cabins in the corner overlooking them.

Because why make the change just before or during a revenue cruise when the ship is due to go out of service in a matter of weeks for several weeks during which time they can purge the lines and make the switch without disrupting service on that revenue cruise?

I've been in the same predicament - I have some credits (well, down to one now since one expired last night) that NCL added to my account for some reason, I was looking to possibly use them, but I feel I can save more and book a better room by waiting to book until about a month before the cruise.

A look at the deck plans would give you your answer. The slides are denoted there, you're forward of them.

The Escape is going to drydock, I imagine it's happening during that time. Unless someone in this thread has reported it's been done already - https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2872316-ncl-switching-from-pepsi-to-coke-products/ Why a "fluff" post? You also could have asked in that thread, BTW...

Thread with literally the same title from a month ago -

Exactly! They do, but it seems the Prima one is 'deeper', with the Haven rooms recessed. These first cabins in that section of the ship won't have much of a view in that direction (unless someone is on their balcony "European Style", lol). On the other ships the "bump" is accomplished with one balcony being angled, on the Prima there's a cabin with the entire balcony facing aft, PLUS the isolated area for the slide(s) to pass through.

I decided to wait. $1300 (including taxes, port fees, dining gratuities and trip insurance) seems a bit steep yet for a Studio. I'm going to roll the dice that I can get a balcony for that price shortly after final payment time AND maybe still be able to use 2x CND's. I'm almost certain that by waiting I can save more than the $300 I'd save today using the 10% and $100 coupons NCL added to my account.

PCC is Personal Cruise Consultant. If you have someone at NCL with which you always make contact to book, that is your PCC. Unless you have a serious, demonstrable, problem with them you might have trouble changing to another PCC. You'd need to make contact with the other poster outside of CC as CC does not permit people to exchange such information on the forums.

I'm fully aware of the solo supplement situation, I even mentioned it in my first post...

Have you reviewed the info on these pages yet? https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/joy/staterooms/club-balcony-suite https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/joy/staterooms/suite Look at the Penthouse Suite floorplan - it looks like it's nearly a double-wide cabin compared to the Club Balcony...
