I can't remember who has it in their signature, but, I think this is the image Bear.

Edit: Lol haven't mastered copy/ paste on this phone, so, if the link doesn't work, just google island ship images. It was the first image displayed for me.

Just got back from a 2 night cruise on the breakaway.

The ship and the staff, food, hygiene and everything else is magnificent! I wen with the the Allure twice and I have 2 more Allure cruises booked.

They are 2 totally different ships. Allure is bigger and even though there are more passengers on it, you barely notice it. On the breakaway there were a few times that felt too crowded. Mostly the Atrium area. The entertainment on the Allure is much more diverse, so are the performances, but that could be due to the fact that both times were 7 days cruises. I really enjoyed the cruise, but not sure if I would take it for longer than 2-3 nights.

I hope NCL creates some new itineraries for the smaller ships --- all over the world. We now cruise NCL because we prefer to due to ships, service, etc. but have to switch to HAL for itineraries that we have not done.

I really think there will be an extra deck of public space. One thing I know the Noodle Bar and Bliss are moving out of the casino space. Bliss area will become a large circular casino bar.

 

Yeah, an additional deck:

All are artist renders, delivery will be october 2015 and a second one in spring 2017.

 

Has been in the news since the first announcement mid '13 though.

Ha. All I see is the spa relocated, and 4 more top end suites forward facing in the Haven. lol. :D

The spa is in the same location, but the Haven has grown an extra deck.

Lol. or the ship grew under the Haven. :p

 

Haven was always two decks on BA Class. I don't get it.

Perhaps they added a deck below the haven for the spa. The salt room was forward on the lower haven deck, now it's entirely below the haven suites, or at least it appears that way looking at the front, hence my comment about more forward suites. Instead of the forward facing suites on only one deck, they are now on both levels of the haven similar to Epic.

 

:D

Look at the Breakaway+ rendering and compare it to Breakaway. There's one row of Haven suites on the starboard side of Breakaway, but two rows of Haven suites on the starboard side Breakaway+. You can also count the number of decks above the bridge. 3 for Breakaway and 4 for Breakaway+. The notion that the Haven has not grown by a deck in height is simply indefensible.

I wish they would make the balconies bigger. I have been on both the Epic and Breakaway and the balconies are too small. We ended up getting a bump out on the Epic and an aft on the Breakaway.

Indefensible. lol. :p

 

I guess there are different ways to look at this. The BA has haven suites on 2 levels, yes, not on both sides of the lower level obviously. But on one side. So I look at the BA+ has made the lower level all suites, on both sides, then added another deck below the two existing expanded haven decks for the spa and what not. Therefore they didn't add another haven deck, they just filled the rest of the lower deck with suites.

 

Whatever. :D

 

ETA; BTW, If you count the spa deck as part of the haven, I didn't, I concur with your comments.

Two new ships will be the Escape and the Bliss i was told....i think i still prefer the Gem.. Its the perfect size... Breakaway was nice, new and technologically advanced but definitely was glad to have the Haven to escape to. Too many people with too many small venues...definitely miss the Spinnaker ....
