Everything.. ESCAPE (live 29 Oct 2015!)

On another note; does anyone know if the brewery (Windwood Brewery) will be included in the ultimate beverage package?

 

Depends on the price of the beer. I won't be surprised, if it is over $11 😡

You only pay the difference, so that may not matter too much.

They are working on the starboard tender platform on the NDR stream, which appears to be under the Private Room at Taste (the double row of picture windows). Is this a different location from BA and GA, just curious?

 

Yes, the shell door and tender platform configurations are slightly different from Breakaway and Getaway.

 

Also, is anyone else amused that the ship's mast and satellite domes took a ride on the helipad? :p

It would have to be pretty incredible to go over $11 a pint. I mean, even with mixed drinks you have to really try to break the limit, ya know?

Yeaah, piggyback style, smart move. :D

 

I also noticed a, I think, an added mooring point welded in for the tender platform after the hull art was applied. Nothing big, just catched my eye, perhaps an corrected build mistake. Will try to look it up!

Meyer's own webcam stream is still on air today:

She's unmoored at the moment, perhaps testing stabilizers and/or thrusters?

A better look on the top sundecks.

I cant believe how fast they build these ships now. It was not that long ago where the names were picked. Now she is almost ready to go.

Steel cutting began on 20th March 2014, Meyer really has perfected the total building process, amazing.

 

Now let's hope this Golden Age of cruise ship building isn't ending in a mothballed fleet someday (due to overcapacity etc)! :D

We will be sailing over the Super Bowl. Will it be played on the large screen in the adults area and over the ship. We have a child with us and wondered where we could watch it.

Love the view of the hot tubs here. I wouldn't want one of those balconies directly underneath though!

No silly,

 

That is a painting of the freestyle fire farting fish.

I did too ... and got an awesome deal ;)

 

Are there any pics handy of the upper sun decks surrounding the pool area?

First day for Latitude members to book was March 26, 2014 - we booked that day and the rates for our suite went up $500pp when it opened to the public on March 27, 2014. What a deal! :cool:

[Ozzie's Mom]

Thanks so much for all of the wonderful pictures!

Nope, only the one from a week or two ago with the double deck pool bar.

Is it just me or does it appear that the angled balcony cabins on Escape are even bigger than on GA/BA? It looks like the bump out is deeper, making the angle even bigger. It also looks like part of the glass is straight before the angled part begins, whereas on GA/BA it's just a straight angle.

It's the angle the photo was taken at. The straight part is for the adjacent balcony. The dividers haven't been closed yet either, which makes it hard to tell where one balcony stops and the other begins.

We nabbed BB 13252 for our TA :D:D:D

I disagree on all standard balcs. It's a single pane divider. They are closed. I've (at least the ones in the pic in question) there are several other photos that confirm it.

 

And as the angle balcs go. They are no different than BA/GA. Again there are several pics to back that up as well.

But, the particular angle in that photo, really throws you off.

[tarps14]

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with you there. In the bottom row of cabins in that picture, I see a curved section of divider that appears to be folded back. Also, the vertical support for the divider is located only half way out on the horizontal piece above. I think barnacle_boy is correct on this.
