FreestyleNovice Posted April 13, 2015 Author #1580 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I must be all turned around. I thought the shot you included is looking aft and would be the starboard side? Same here, the starboard side is close to the hall's side. The port side has the extra blocks and cranes (and the visitor's centre walkway), she's bow in first, aft fading the hall door, if I am correct.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next Monday I'll be able to see my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion3 Posted April 13, 2015 #1582 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well this picture is the first of the M6 Balconies and they do seem to be the same size as the away's despite the literature suggesting otherwise. Wish the pic was bigger but the M6 and B6's do appear as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kismet618 Posted April 13, 2015 #1583 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) We are going to be in the Mid-ship BA Balcony 15190 Nov 21st cruise...Should I be worried about the Overhang from Garden Cafe and Sun Deck? What about chairs being moved around? When we sailed the Getaway, we had the Mid-ship Mini Suite on Deck 14. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It seems based on the location of your cabin on your Getaway cruise, you would be best equipped to answer this question should another poster ask it.

From the pics, it looks like the overhang is deeper...but I could be wrong. To be fair, We had the UBP on that cruise, and my recollections are a little hazy...lol :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted April 13, 2015 #1587 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have a question, we are booked in the aft haven penthouse on the 11th level, port side. If anyone has seen the deck plans, there is kind of a chunk out of the room as compared to the 12th deck and up. Any idea what that might be, and would you move to 12? I'm a newbie so any insight appreciated. Thanks! I'm guessing that you're in 11312? I think it's just the way that the deckplans are drawn. The "style" is drawn slightly differently than the Breakaway/Getaway plans. For example, the "angle balcony" on the Escape deckplan (11296, for ex) might lead someone to believe that the stateroom is angled but looking at how a similar room is drawn on the BA/GA (11294 with a little white triangle), the stateroom is still rectangular. As far as how the decks differ, even something as simple as the numbering changes. On deck 10, the H6 numbers read one way while the rest of the H6 numbers read the other way. There are other anomalies (straight vs. curved) that probably won't be sorted out until people actually see them in person and report back. Room configuration, depth of balcony, etc.... I'm sure someone who knows more than I will correct me if I'm wrong (I'm also a newbie). :p BTW, I'm in 12306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachRum Posted April 13, 2015 #1589 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm guessing that you're in 11312? I think it's just the way that the deckplans are drawn. ... I know that it's impossible to be definitive. But what would be your best guess, based on the latest photos: Would you agree that the aft-facing balconies on deck 11 appear to be bigger than those on deck 13? Or is that just an illusion? 11 looks deeper, but perhaps that may be because the doors are on already on deck 13 and might not be on 11. Anyone with eagle eyes and a good guess?

BwayProducer Posted April 13, 2015 #1590 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Lloyd! Thank you so much for the up-dated photos! VERY interesting to see. Hard to believe that in 5 short months I will be boarding her in Papenburg and loading in the main stage shows and getting them up and running! very exciting! I am truly looking forward to experiencing this whole process. From Papenburg to Bremerhaven to Hamburg, then South Hampton and on to Miami! The Escape will be my home away from home for nearly 8 weeks! For a "theatre" guy that has always had a fascination for cruise ships and sailing, this is truly the "best of both worlds" project for me! Looking forward to it!

Two Wheels Only Posted April 13, 2015 #1591 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Thank you!! When do you cruise? We are in March 2016 May 2016. That should give me enough time to change rooms (if needed) after info comes in. Even if I have to stay in the smallest balcony and the less desirable room configuration, I'm going to have a great time. I'll just gather the information as it comes in from actual cruisers since NCL info is....not exactly accurate. ;) I know that it's impossible to be definitive. But what would be your best guess, based on the latest photos: Would you agree that the aft-facing balconies on deck 11 appear to be bigger than those on deck 13? Or is that just an illusion? 11 looks deeper, but perhaps that may be because the doors are on already on deck 13 and might not be on 11. Anyone with eagle eyes and a good guess? Looking at this pic.... ...13 looks a bit deeper than 11 but the deckplans seem to say the opposite.

FreestyleNovice Posted April 13, 2015 Author #1592 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I like how Cruisedeckplans already has this text; "Aft balconies on Escape are more narrow than on NCL Breakaway and NCL Getaway. Most balconies on this ship are narrow." Which seems partly true, the regular balconies appear wider than the Aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the big glassed-in space that hangs out over the cabins below? That would be the Garden Cafe buffet on Deck 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachRum Posted April 14, 2015 #1598 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I changed my deck 13 aft-facing balcony for one on deck 11. There's probably no big difference in balcony size. But I'll be a bit closer to port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemini Posted April 14, 2015 #1599 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah, seeing my window in Ray's pic really brings it home. (Front OV, along the slope, 2nd row from the bottom, 3rd from the middle, port side.) And here I was thinking I'd manage not to get too excited until summer, at least. Obviously this is the wrong thread for staying calm. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just a few decks above yours on the other side. Hope you enjoy the TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
