rbelfi Posted March 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It will be interesting to see where they Homeport Bliss. I don't see them putting it in Miami, NY, or Europe so I'm curious where it would sail out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaftigr Posted March 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm looking forward to them also. I just booked the Escape today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted March 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The Escape and The Bliss are larger than The Getaway and The Breakaway. They are 163,000 gross tons and 4200 passengers. One deck higher with more Studio cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted March 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Plus an extra 2nd deck for Haven right? ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Edited March 26, 2014 by meatball_nyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted March 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That's a lot of cabins to fill in the coming years. Do you think one of the older outdated ships will be sold off. Spirit or Sun ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit or Sun ? I hope not! The Spirit was our favorite and we are expecting much of the same for our upcoming Sun cruise!

Demonyte Posted March 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2014 NCL has began to work on two new ships The Escape and Bliss. NCL Escape will be out of Miami port NCL bliss no home port as of yet. They will be same at the Breakaway & Getaway. Looking forward to the new ships. Yep, this is very old news and discussed in dozens of threads here already since the ships were announced, after that when their names were decided following a crowdsourced vote (if it had any effect we'll never know), after the first deck plans were released and latest after the actual building of Escape begun. :D But they are not the same as Breakaway and Getaway, those ships are a bit smaller and belong to Breakaway class, Escape and Bliss will be in class of their own, Breakaway plus class.

Spirit or Sun ? if the ship makes money, no reason to sell it I agree though, with all the new cruise lines having all these new ships, its going to be great for consumers with pricing in the next 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbelfi Posted March 26, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think its going to NY. Big Market Being 15 minutes from the port that would be great haha. But Caribbean ports are limited to longer cruises out of NY generally so I'm kind of hoping it goes more south. With me and my wife's schedules more than 7 days is tough except for summer when prices a generally a lot higher!

barnacle_boy Posted March 26, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Would it make it under the bridge ? Harriet Breakaway has an extremely shallow air draft for a ship her size. Even with the added decks, Bliss will easily clear the Verrazano-Narrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sika Dellick Posted March 26, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Be nice if NCL started sailing out of a few additional ports. Norfolk VA would be good for a lot of mid Atlantic cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted March 26, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The itinerary of the Escape has a lot to be desired. St. Thomas OK, Tortola OK, but Nassau from Noon to 7pm? Crappy time at a crappy port. To bad they don't sub GSC for Nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that a cruise from California down the coast and to Mexico and Central America would be great, so I hope it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Forums mobile app Again, as with the Verrazano-Narrows, Bliss will fit under the Golden Gate. That's be a pretty bold and risky choice, homeporting a brand new megaship on the west coast. She'd be, by far, the newest and largest doing Mexican Riviera itineraries.
