Sue & I just finished a Danube river cruise, which was amazing.

 

Connie & Kai (who organized Oktoberfest on Bliss TA) picked us up afterward and gave us a tour of Frankfurt last night, then we all traveled up to Bremen today.  Aled & Mark (also from Bliss) flew in from the UK.  We’re all returning on Encore TA.

We discovered on Escape that with the addition of the District Brewhouse we spent very little time at HATM. We preferred the live entertainment at TDB more, and found it much more fun.  (Over the course of 3 sailings with different players). Regardless, since it wasn’t on the last 2 ships, I’d doubt they are bringing it back. 

Maybe having two venues helps with crowds tho.  We tried a few times on the Bliss to hear entertainment in District but filled up before we arrived and there was standing room only.  We had a better experience on the Escape.

Looked ahead to Bermuda for 2020.  Looks like the Encore will be doing the NY-Bermuda cruises starting in April 2020.  Ship looks amazing!

Doug,

Totally cool pictures. Thanks so much for posting them. We can't wait until our December cruise.

Do you think  the white along the sides is protective sheeting or will the balconies be solid?

That’s just protective sheathing - the balconies will be glass  just like the prior ships.

Vacant deck plans...  It's been a long time since I prepped for my Escape Transatlantic by checking for updates daily, so maybe I am wrong, but it seems we had a lot more info by now.  Am I crazy? The anticipation is killing me.
