barnacle_boy Posted April 10, 2014 #126 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Actually, while it says you can book, the site is stating "No Results -No results found" when you attempt to book and has been like this since yesterday.. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Previous thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2023154 I booked a November 2015 sailing out of Miami on Escape almost two weeks ago. The system works fine! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted April 10, 2014 #127 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I've never booked a cruise this far out!!! But I sailed the Breakaway in May 2013 and the Getaway in February 2014 and can't wait to try the Escape! Anxious to see the changes they made. Sailed both times with my sister and will do this one together too. I wrote a review of both sailings but can't post them here. If anyone wants to see email me at kates@me.com. Hopefully we will get a Meet and Mingle going! Right there with 'ya! Last Friday we booked the Escape for February of 2016. Yep....you read it right - SIXTEEN! :eek: I just keep telling myself a lot of the fun is the planning and anticipation....right??!?!?!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ttnc4me Posted April 10, 2014 #128 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The cruise consultant on the BA indicated last month that it looked like NCL would be expanding, perhaps in 2015, but surely by 2017 to go to Australia and/or asia. Either of these would be the best news ever!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be back up soon. I just tried to book & it's only offering the inaugural sailing from London online. :( Now, I read the other thread. Booooo, I missed out before. I guess I'll just check every day now. ;) Edited April 10, 2014 by ttnc4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B6ConMe Posted April 10, 2014 #130 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) It's strange, in that, the Caribbean cruises can be booked through some of the online TA's but on the NCL site the Escape cruises don't even come up when you select Caribbean cruises, anytime, any ports...there she is, Not there! :p she's Escaped. :eek: The Transatlantic cruise site comes up fine and you book that cruise no problem... really weird...:confused: Edited April 10, 2014 by B6ConMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wpuld explain why others do have the results of Amadeus, so it must be open/bookable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wpuld explain why others do have the results of Amadeus, so it must be open/bookable. Yes, definitely open for booking, just not through NCL's website. And you could, very well, be correct about the systems, intentional or not. I'm sure it'll be back up on NCL's site soon, no panic necessary !:eek: It's not like the cruises are starting tomorrow :p Safe cruising, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylife4Jesus Posted April 23, 2014 #133 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Any new news about Escape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted April 23, 2014 #134 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Any new news about Escape? No new news released. Something I had not seen before. Norwegian Escape will also be the first new build in the cruise industry to feature innovative scrubber technology, to ensure the vessel is compliant with the 0.1% sulphur limit in Emission Control Areas (ECA) beginning in 2015.

jmele999 Posted April 25, 2014 #137 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We are currently booked on a H9 Spa suite and considering upgrading to an H5 to be right next to the Haven. According to the description of the Haven Penthouses the size of the cabin ranges from 328 - 540 sq ft. (see below). Are the ones with over 500 sq ft the handicapped accessible cabins? The Haven Courtyard Penthouse with Balcony Spacious and amazing. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the spectacular views to you. Plus the personal service of a concierge and 24-hour certified butler makes sure every whim comes true. Floor Plan Features & Highlights Access to The Haven Courtyard, private balcony, luxurious décor, king-size bed. Occupancy Up to 3 guests Approx. Size 328-540 sq ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutter2 Posted April 30, 2014 #138 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Just booked Jan 2 - 9th 2016 !!:D Only our 2nd ever cruise ( the NCL spirit last week was first ) and we loved it so much we have booked again. taking my parents on their first ever cruise and booked them a balcony deck 13 and we have 2 x inside cabins deck 13 for us and the kids 16, 12, 11. The price was pretty good and with onboard credit we just coudn't refuse;) Having spent less than 20 minutes a day in our cabins on the spirit over 9 days I don't see the point of a suite or am I missing something as a new cruiser ? We are doing 2 weeks orlando over xmas and new year then the cruise and we are so excited already ! being from the uk and first timers from Miami do you think that there will be many kids onboard at that time ? The choice was the Escape or the carnival glory west Caribbean and I am pretty sure we have chosen wisely but thoughts appreciated please many thanks Andrew, Tina & kids Edited April 30, 2014 by tutter2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayssingin Posted May 15, 2014 #139 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't know if it's true, but our Cabin Steward on the Breakaway last week said that one of the changes on the Escape will be the return of a taller atrium. Would love to book her transatlantic. What are all of those sea days like? Are there additional activities available during the day since there are no ports?

I'm pretty sure that's what you meant, but you said you wanted to be right next to The Haven, so I just wanted to clarify ;) The 540 sq ft H5 is the handicapped ones.
