1. The itinerary was on the Mediterranean, Rome to Barcelona. 2. Please read carefully my message above, I explained that I was referring to the walking/socializing area between the elevators. The theatre and Manhattan are outside this area.

I said it takes almost the entire 7th floor and what I meant is the area where people usually walk/socialize and this area is in between the elevators/stairs. It excludes the theater and Manhattan and includes only O'Sheehan's and the casino.

Take a look at the deck plan on NCL website: https://www.ncl.com/fr/en/cruise-ship/escape/deck-plans. The casino is shown to occupy only a small area on the side, across the Skyline bar, but in fact it goes all the way from Manhattan to O'Sheehan's, and Skyline is a part of it (they even have poker machines at all the bar chairs in Skyline).

Yes, this was my 5th cruise (2nd time with NCL).

Just got off NCL Escape and didn't enjoy at all having the casino occupying almost the entire 7th floor. I never saw on any other ship so much space reserved for the casino. Everybody can do whatever they want with their money, but in my opinion the casino should be located in a remote part of the ship, not in the middle. Last but not least, I hate to be obliged to swallow cigarette smoke when passing through the casino and trying to get to O'Sheehan's. Big thumbs down, NCL Escape!

The price of my cruise dropped 2 days after final payment date (which is 30 days before departure). I called them and asked for a FCC and they categorically denied it. They said that after final payment there is absolutely nothing they can offer. Maybe here in Europe they have other rules? Do you suggest to call again after a while and speak with a different agent? Any other idea?

You were right @RocketMan275, we didn't got the Haven upgrade. But we still won a Club Balcony with a very convenient bid, so everything is fine after all.

Hello, we're going soon on a Mediterranean cruise with NCL Escape and we've been offered to buy this OBC Certificate. Can we pay onboard the mandatory 20$/person/day by using this OBC certificate? What will happen if I will not spend it completely? Will I keep the rest as OBC for another cruise or will I lose it? Thank you!

Sorry to post again a question which was probably asked/answered before, but I already browsed several topics and couldn't find an answer. We are going in April on a cruise in the Mediterranean with NCL Escape. We have a balcony cabin and we placed several bids for some Haven suites. The question is: if we win the bid, will we have access to the Haven reserved spaces (such as Lounge, restaurant, Sun deck, etc.)? Or it is just a cabin upgrade with no other perks in addition? I'm asking because if the latter is true I believe I'm going to cancel my bids; I don't think it's worth to pay so much money for just a few additional sqm. Thank you in advance for your answers.
