barnacle_boy Posted October 5, 2015 #4401 Share Posted October 5, 2015 For those interested in the hull art. Guy Harvey's contest for a 2 night cruise on Escape is actually the pre-inaugural industry preview cruise. Whoever wins will also get to see the naming ceremony and get free food and drinks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever wins will also get to see the naming ceremony and get free food and drinks! :) I believe this contest is for the actual inaugural cruise and naming ceremony, it says so in the contest info. Guy Harvey will be there as well for you to meet. It is not a pre-inaugural sailing, it is the actual inaugural in Miami so even better. Good luck to all who enter! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all who enter! :) I personally use the term "pre-inaugural" to differentiate it from the "inaugural" that NCL is selling for November 11-14. It's debatable whether or not the industry preview cruise can be considered an inaugural since it's not actually available for sale to the general public. Usually producing revenue is a criteria for an inaugural, which is not the case for the November 9-11 cruise. I understand that some consider anything after the naming to be an inaugural as well. It's all really academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoopTroop Posted October 5, 2015 #4412 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Lloyd I've been missing you! :mad: ;) That's a sweet pic, I think it shows almost no difference with dividers (= placement of the railing near the "dropoff") of the M6/BX? Hmm, I think it shows a slight pull back on the BX. I have a BX booked and it appears to me to be a small amount pulled back similar to the GA/BA. Look at the bottom of that picture. I'm not worried, I like the value and location and on almost all balconies you can not look directly down to the water other then the MX on that deck. I still think you might get pretty dang close to looking down though :) Soon I can find out for myself. If anyone is on the early cruises can find out, please let us know!

It's all really academic. I was using the term from the contest that stated it was the Inaugural. I understand what you are saying. Though, I bet those on it sure will produce a lot of revenue for NCL with regards to future people sailing on Escape and other ships, he he. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion3 Posted October 5, 2015 #4416 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This view makes the M6 balconies look huge and more than 2/3 uncovered and the B6 balconies not look as big as on the Away ships. Its probably just the angle the pic is taken at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island_Chica Posted October 5, 2015 #4418 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Just booked this ship today for Presidents' week. We'll be in an M6 mini suite, and I can't wait to be on that big 'ol balcony when it's freezing at home. Now I have to read all 200+ pages of this thread to see what I've got to look forward to.

FreestyleNovice Posted October 5, 2015 Author #4422 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks but that's too much credit! Just giving back what I've learned here on CC. We all share the same passion. :) It's fun to do this threads because of everybody joining in, adding more info, finding new stuff, discovering the ship as she gets near completion and seeing the first live reports. You all contribute, in many many ways, from the ones from the first hour to the ones joining in at the last moments, we all bring together the knowledge and the content that makes this kind of threads a great success. And even making them the largest and longest threads CC has ever seen (Breakaway hit the record). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
