AtlantaCruiser72 Posted August 16, 2015 #3226 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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. I think barnacle_boy is correct on this. I agree with this assessment. I think the Escape balconies are deeper than the -away ships, which is a HUGE improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking! They do appear deeper, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted August 16, 2015 #3228 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hello everyone,I just got back from today's float out of the ESCAPE and I'd like to show you my timelapse video of the event: Excellent work and thanks for the link. What type and how many cameras did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted August 16, 2015 #3229 Share Posted August 16, 2015 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. Yep, looking at the picture again after reading your reply, I am seeing it differently now, and I'm sure you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCT61 Posted August 17, 2015 #3230 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) The balcony dividers line up with the vertical support post on the balcony (necessary to give the partition door a place to lock into). Project your finger upwards on the support posts to the beam above, and you can see there is enough room for an OPEN partition door.

SuiteCruisin14 Posted August 17, 2015 #3231 Share Posted August 17, 2015 THANK YOU to everyone who posted pictures and videos of the float out. It has been amazing to watch it being build and we can't believe we are almost there. Lynda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea wanderer Posted August 17, 2015 #3232 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Upon evaluation of the photos dear Andreas captured and those of my own of the Breakaway when she visited Port Canaveral, the Escape balconies are perhaps 2-3 feet deeper than the BA/GA. There seems to be an additional partition divider/wall on the Escape not present on the BA. I would like to share my BA image, however CC requires a URL and all mine are on my local NAS PS Thanks to all who were present for the float-out and posted either here and on the various FB sites those amazing images and video!

There seems to be an additional partition divider/wall on the Escape not present on the BA If I remember correctly the Escape is approximately 5 or 6 feet wider than the -aways, so that could account for the extra balcony depth (approx 2 to 3 feet) that we appear to be seeing. Heck, even if the balcony is only 1' deeper on the Escape it would be a huge improvement! Edited August 17, 2015 by AtlantaCruiser72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rydan Posted August 17, 2015 #3247 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The only reason the the Escape is wide is two fold. They extended the walking area of the waterfront. And the width is not the Hull width. It's the point to point widest part of the ship. Meyer Wreft Is using a new sub contractor of the life boat davits. They are approx 11" wider than the (away) class. That makes up the wider ships beam. So, unless the rooms are shorter the balc should be the same as the aways. Maybe with a very few exceptions.

Catnapper7 Posted August 17, 2015 #3248 Share Posted August 17, 2015 When I purchased my specialty dining package it was called the 7 DAY specialty dining program and now NCL has renamed it the 7 MEAL specialty dining program. I called NCL to ask if I go to Pincho tapas (which is discounted on the plan) for a pre show app and then go to an included restaurant for post show full dinner, am I using two of my seven meals in the same day? They had no answer for me..... Would like feedback from this group please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catnapper7 Posted August 17, 2015 #3249 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Oh yeah, additionally, the have changed their FAQ terms and conditions to include a paragraph stating the number of meals cannot exceed the length of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
