I had called before our January 2015 cruise to have them override this rule and they couldn't. Their system says that dinner will last for 2 hours, therefore you can't have a 5:30 dinner and a 7:00 show reserved. I kept my show reservations, and just went to dinner at 5:30...we made it in time for the show.

What's baffling to me is there are no other show times available. I don't know what to do.

Have you called NCL to see if they can override the system and make your reservations for the time you want?

No, but I will. I thought I would get some answers here first before I get myself on hold with them forever.

I have reservations for the 2 shows on the Escape at 7:00. I can't reserve dinner at the 5:30 or the 8:30 seatings for either show day because it says there is a conflict. Are they saying I can't get dinner at all? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

My wife and I honeymooned on the Epic and we had an amazing time. I would for sure recommend it. But if I had to be critical, I would say NCL has a bit more of a party atmosphere than some more premium lines. If partying is what you guys want to do, The Getaway is a great choice. But we most recently cruised Celebrity and I must say it has a more classy, relaxed feel. While I love NCL and I'll be sailing the Escape soon, if I had to do it again I would honeymoon on Celebrity as it has a bit more of a swanky feel you would expect on a honeymoon. But with that said, I don't regret us going on the Epic at all.

My little girl is a similar age. We have UBP and are in a group of three adults. We plan to share our Combined 9 Dishes with her. She's doesn't eat the sort of things that are on the kids menu at home and has what we have normally. Plus it's a good way to keep my calorie intake down for the week. :-)

That's a good plan! My wife and I will do the same. We just did that in Disneyland Paris at all of the expensive table service restaurants and it worked quite well.

Thanks for the help!

I thought I would be able to find the answer to this on NCL.COM or CC but I can't. I will be travelling on the Escape with my 1.5 year old. Do I need to buy him the Specialty Dining Package for him to come with us to the restaurants?

I recall, a while back, there was a thread which talked about this. Someone said that only the name was changed--- because not enough people knew who John Hughes was.

Thanks for this. Judging by all the marketing materials, I thought only the name had changed.

So the show "Dear John Hughes" is now referred to as "For The Record: The Brat Pack". I suppose this is just a new show title but does anyone know anything about this??

Well darn! That's our favorite place on DCL - a great place to walk, relatively quiet, and lovely loungers when you want to relax in the shade. Can't wait to explore the Waterfront and I know there's a jogging track up top. I'm more of an ambler. Smile

I too loved this deck on the Dream. I was down there all the time. But I think we will find that the Waterfront is even better. It's been so popular on the BA and GA, it seems it's even been the inspiration for the MSC Seaside.

Hi Guys, I,m 88 days out and I can't see any entertainment, I was looking to book the dinner show and a meal on different nights.

 

Does anyone know when the show will be able to reserve?

That's disappointing to hear. Please keep us all updated.

I'm interested... ;)

 

 

 

ALL things ESCAPE including the SDP, UDP, UBP, CIA, FBI whatever...:cool:

You're missing my point, her discovery affects all NCL ships. Everyone else should hear about it too.

When I purchased my specialty dining package it was called the 7 DAY specialty dining program and now NCL has renamed it the 7 MEAL specialty dining program. I called NCL to ask if I go to Pincho tapas (which is discounted on the plan) for a pre show app and then go to an included restaurant for post show full dinner, am I using two of my seven meals in the same day? They had no answer for me..... Would like feedback from this group please.

I think you should start a new thread on this because I think people that don't visit this thread would be interested to hear and chat about this.

And the posts from Kylenyc? He has the better screenshots of the 1080 stream.

 

 

 

You're only missing out on some NDR screenshots then.. sorry!

Yes, Kyles posts work too. No need to say sorry! I just wish I knew what the issue is...

I saved the screencaps as .png, the Meyer Werft cam is .jpg by default so you should see those.. if the .png won't load in your browser.

 

 

 

Does http://static.meyerwerft.de/ueberfuehrung/ueberfuehrung.jpg work you?

Yes it does!

Did it work out for you? Others can see them, I use Tinypic.com as upload.

No, I have no idea why. I just see a "x" where the photo should be. I tried crime, internet explorer, and the iPhone app. Not sure what the issue is?

I cant see your pics on my phone or my computer.

She's in motion!!!!!! Very slowly backing torwards the doors

That's right! Here she comes!

I was out in my pool. Did the block of Ovation come out already?

More pictures ;-) was it on saturday Escape is floating out off meyers werft??

Yes Saturday, 8 AM Germany time.

I'm boarding an X cruise in 2 weeks. I'm going to give this a shot. I'll update everyone here if I'm successful. I'm sure I won't be but I'll try!!

I tried to upgrade with no success but I must say guest services really tried. They called me twice over 2 days to update me they were working on it. I wasn't successful but I will surely continue to try as I sail other cruises as I now see this is actually possible.

Best of luck upgrading!

Thanks for this! We are beyond excited for this trip! I think it will be a really great "enticement" to see the Escape moored nearby when getting on the Reflection. Hopefully it will help to build the anticipation just that much more for the next week!

I was just on the Reflection in June and I just did a review on Cruise Radio. Check out Episode 320:

Anthem is actually a bit longer. But the Escape sail out will still be spectacular.

 

Am I right in thinking she'll come out stern first?

Sadly, I think you are. As fun as it will be to watch, it'd be more majestic if she came out the right way.

8:00a CEST = 2:00a EDT :eek: Oh well, I'll sleep when I'm dead.

That's awesome you're doing a B2B with the Reflection, that ship rocks. What a great 2 weeks you're gonna have!

The float out will be webcasted this Saturday in Full HD. Check out the link below....time to hook a computer up to your HDTV.....

The more pictures I start to see, especially of her interior, the more excited I'm getting for 10/29 :D

That is so awesome you're doing escape and harmony TAs. What awesome itineraries! I'm jealous!
