Two Wheels Only Posted October 27, 2016 #76 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Is that really the artwork? It looks too similar to the Escape for my taste. I also like Escape more but Bliss looks good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffield12 Posted October 27, 2016 #77 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Interesting concept. I wonder if there are ship regulations for light output due to possible impact on marine life. No but there is a requirement for deck lights not interfering with navigational lights so for example the led lights could not show green on the portside at night if it would create confusion to other vessels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars7816 Posted October 27, 2016 #78 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well, just about fell off my chair! A new NCL ship in Seattle?!! It's only been about 11 years since the Pearl was new. If we can actually cruise from Seattle on a new ship without flying to Miami -- Be still my heart!!! :D:D We've only been begging for this for years and years. I'm just beside myself. Of course a regular balcony cabin will probably cost about $5,000 per person -- what the hell -- only money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pspercy Posted October 28, 2016 #79 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't like the position of the artists name, it makes it look like its the name of the ship. Agreed. Artist's name should be at the bottom - in small letters:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted October 28, 2016 #80 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't like the position of the artists name, it makes it look like its the name of the ship. My husband said the same thing. It looks like the ship name or cruise line name. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted October 28, 2016 #82 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I think the mural is innovative, moving from the aft to the bow, but I agree that the artist's signature should be smaller and at the bottom, not the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked91 Posted October 28, 2016 #85 Share Posted October 28, 2016 There will be a 4th Breakaway class ship ready for 2019.I hope this one will be base in Southampton for the summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Olympic Posted October 28, 2016 #86 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I think I read that the 4th breakaway plus is going to China to pair up with the Joy. But I have to think at some point a new ship will head to Australia for a season although with Carnival sending the Spirit to Ausyralia year round that NCL will have to do something similar.

FreestyleNovice Posted October 30, 2016 #87 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Huge render pic at http://www.cruisetipstv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/05b_NCLBliss_FI_10-24-16.jpg Spotted: Food Republic (same as Escape, similar furniture) Gelato ice cream Some brown/woodish? ceiling/floor at the Margaritaville spot Left out slides on the same spot Cantilevered hot tub on main pool deck Haven outdoor restaurant (same as Escape) The forward observation lounge, looks neat with a glass ceiling! No private room at Taste (missing an second lower row of windows on that spot) Anyone else seeing interesting things? Not liking the new funnel design btw.. Mind you that this is a render and things can change, just personal observations and speculation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff79 Posted October 30, 2016 #88 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Are there two decks for the spa and fitness? under the haven there are two decks without cabins, escape has there only one. a bigger spa with indoor swimming would be cool. how it is at the joy?

Here's the Joy render in XXL; http://www.cruisetipstv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/06_NCLJoy_FI_07-15-16.jpg Sharp observation. Might be spa or could be dining/lounges? With the lounges for Haven and the new Concierge class thing those passengers are covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted October 30, 2016 #90 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Could do without the small whale balancing on th the nose of the big whale! It's probably supposed to represent the mother lifting the calf to the surface for the calf's first breath. The above piece isn't by Wyland but there are Wyland pieces of art that depict the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above piece isn't by Wyland but there are Wyland pieces of art that depict the same thing. At first I thought the hull art was a poor copy of Escape's, but now with the explanation of the baby's first breath and the side views of the ship, I rather like it.

RMS Olympic Posted November 4, 2016 #95 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I read a comment from FDR stating we will be ready for Alaska passengers in June. If that's the case then her crossing and canal transit will be in May. Hope to do the crossing, if not then her first Alaska cruise out of Seattle. Called my cruise consultant at Ncl and told him my intentions so I can get my cabin of choice. Anyone else considering the crossing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbowls30 Posted November 4, 2016 #97 Share Posted November 4, 2016 We are rally interested in the crossing, especially since she will go from Germany most likely, and we are in the uk.....

Cruiser Bruiser Posted January 2, 2017 #99 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Since NCL seems to want to torture us by not releasing information about its big, new West Coast ship, here's a guess to keep the thread going: Given the cold weather configuration of this ship, everyone has been trying to determine where it would likely be deployed in the winter. Everyone knows it will be sailing 7-night Alaska cruises out of Seattle in the summer. I'm ready to guess that Bliss might be deployed to Boston for winter sailings to the Caribbean and elsewhere. Dawn redeploys to San Juan mid-November, leaving Boston with no ship. If NY can support having both Escape and Breakaway in winter, it seems like Boston ought to be able to support Bliss. Come on, NCL, end the speculation. There are cruises to be booked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the future cruises/ships seminar while on JADE TA crossing in Oct there was a mention that BLISS may do the big pond crossing after her summer season in AK, and continue on to South Africa! :eek:;):eek:;) Roll on the 10th Jan!!!
