B6ConMe Posted April 1, 2014 #51 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Does anyone have any idea or know when we will hear more about the Escape build? Every step is exciting to me. :)Thanks!

happy cruzin Posted April 4, 2014 #54 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Count us in!!! Just booked a Haven Aft Penthouse on the Escape for 2/20/16....yes - you read it right SIXTEEN. But - we have the Getaway to enjoy in February 2015 which I expect to be as fantastic as the Epic and Breakaway. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted April 4, 2014 #55 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Anybody found a floor plan for the Haven Aft Penthouse Suites (H6) yet?? Can't seem to find one and had the same problem when the Breakaway was under construction. :o If you see one along the way - can you post it here or let me know?? Thanks!

Medtech2 Posted April 5, 2014 #59 Share Posted April 5, 2014 They've started the steel cutting on March 20th, building blocks after that, my guess is that it will be sharing the hall with Royal's 2nd Quantum class, Anthem of the Seas (spring 2015) at the shipyard when Escape is getting shape? http://www.meyerwerft.de/en/meyerwerft_de/medien/presseticker/pressemitteilung_detail_15744.jsp Okay! I get the Freestyle vibe, and I like it, but anyone else notice Kevin Sheehan's ripped jeans? Puhleeze... Surely they make CEO rinsed denims?

Vitality08 Posted April 5, 2014 #68 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm going to book this as my birthday cruise for February 2016. The prices seem rather reasonable to me considering it'll be only 4 months old when I sail. Maybe my memory is failing me but Breakaway and Getaway seemed to be way more expensive.

Escaping Cruiser Posted April 6, 2014 #69 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am agree prices do seem reasonable. I booked a studio for Nov 2015 and it was $50 cheaper than the studio on the Breakaway I originally booked for Oct 2015. I do not like the ports of call versus the one on the Breakaway, but since this is a new ship and it is all about the ship and I have never sailed on NCL. I figured what the heck.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums We too wish the ports were a little more unique. But we're just looking at the new ship as the destination - like we did Epic and will with the Getaway. ;) Sent from my phone - using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm....we didn't book the Getaway this early and we must have caught on if the first sales then! ;) Gonna have to keep a closer eye on the rate now!

Medtech2 Posted April 6, 2014 #73 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hey there Medtech2....great to see you again! The Escape in your plans too?? ;) Sent from my phone - using the Cruise Critic forums app Hi there! Yes, eventually. DH had a hip replaceent so we need to do Getaway first and see how much we owe the hospital. Escape prices are a little high at the moment, but then again our cabin on Getaway is now $300 more than when we booked it. I hope the days of cheaper prices are not over!

London-Calling Posted April 7, 2014 #75 Share Posted April 7, 2014 What interests me the most (apart from Sheehan's jeans) is the additional public spaces. Will there be more restaurants? A lounge? Both? Will the existing Breakaway dining rooms/public spaces be changed/re-themed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
