Escape Cabin Selection

[Bracarense]

Hello all.

 

Me, my wife and almost 6 years old daughter will likely be in our first Caribbean cruise onboard the Escape.

We are looking for a Balcony but at the moment there are several cabin choices. Is there any we should definitely look for or any we should run away from.

 

Thank you for your help.

I always make sure to have the deck above have cabins also - you never want to be on the pool deck! That said, I love the B6/M6 large balcony category. It's all the way up front and it is quiet and has a ginormous balcony.

If I was looking at Escape with a balcony (non-suite) for 3, I'd go for an aft-facing on deck 9 or 12 (I prefer 12). They have a good size (size varies by deck), a great view, good privacy (not exposed from above), very minimal foot traffic (dead end), and a great sound with the ship's wake.

We recently booked for ourselves and 6 y.o grand daughter. We went for a large balcony on deck 9 The balcony is 70 sq ft. vs 32 of regular balcony Thought we may be spending more time out there at night and would give us more space to play with her.

M6's are the best. Larger balcony and larger bathroom. I am currently on her in a BC. I am closely watching prices so I can move up.

With a 6 year old, and the possibility of frequent round trips to the cabin, I'd suggest a midship balcony or minisuite, deck 10 or higher. Be sure to inspect cruise deck plans - ensuring there are no loud venues nearby (above or below).

Thank you all.

 

Which non-suites have larger balconies besides the afts?

Thank you all.

I believe there are some on deck 8, forward of the District Brew House (port) and Food Republic (starboard). Be careful - DBH can be loud into the night.

Just my 2-cents from a mistake made. Try to avoid cabins directly near the elevators or stairs. We had a few issues with noise on our previous cruise and I came out like an old lady at one point and asked a group to move elsewhere.

Thank you all.

Largest non suite balconies are only on deck 9. There are some larger mini suite throughout ship which are larger including the aft cabins. Those are usually booked early and difficult to get.

Go to NCL and check out the deck plans for the ship and you can see the balcony sizes for each cabin

We cruised the Escape last month and were on deck 14. Balcony cabin 14168. 3 doors from the forward bank of elevators. It was a perfect location on the ship for us. No noise. Close to just about everything important to us. And cabins above and below us.

You are all great. Thank you.

As soon as we choose I'll give feedback.

Does anyone have any info on cabin 9734?

I don't know what the noise level is going to be like but I specifically chose a cabin near the elevators because I'm mobility-impaired and it makes for shorter distances to walk Plus my room has one of the larger angled balconies. Here's hoping it won't end up being a problem. If I had a six-year-old I'd probably be more concerned but chances are my sister and I will be out fairly late every night.
