Rare Dr. Cocktail Posted September 19, 2015 #4102 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The upper section of the funnel hasn't been fitted yet. Due to the additional level of the ropes course, the funnel on Escape will actually be slightly taller than the one on Breakaway. Thanks- she didn't look quite right. There's still the Barney Rubble issue - hopefully it's better looking in real life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine2U Posted September 19, 2015 #4103 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Do you really think this is an official or NCL video? Not to be the grammar police, but I don't think that NCL would spell Jimmy's last name wrong as well as spell "Margaritaville" wrong...twice... Maybe they had one too many "Mararitas"! :p Well, I think the video's official but obviously not the youtube channel :)! Besides, I don't think OP said as much. Great video - if I've seen it, it was many months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted September 19, 2015 Author #4106 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Vibe, which NCL hardly announced a thing about, seems to have a water feature too. Neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfin55 Posted September 19, 2015 #4107 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thanks for your positve comment. I'll try to give a short answer to your question: none of my photos in the gallery is "out-of-camera". If the camera is adjusted correctly to take the photo you have a good "base" for processing. By the way the best base are ".raw"-files. At the pc I use different software to process the raw-data according to my wishes. There are basic process steps such as light, contrast, lens correction, cropping etc. and finally some digital filters lead to a result that I want. It is very possible that at the end there are different results from one base. And sometimes no result satisfies me and I start again. The camera is only one (of course decisive) tool but the final photo is the result fo many factors. For "quick results" you can buy ready made filter collections for digital photos. They show in advance the result that you can expect. For smatphones different apps are quite nicely. I hope this answer gives you some ideas. Thank, you so much for take a few minutes to reply. It seems that your computer is s an extension of your lens. Makes perfect sense. It's time to take a class on digital photography. Anyway, I have enjoyed your artwork.

Steeler Nation At Sea Posted September 19, 2015 #4108 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks- she didn't look quite right. There's still the Barney Rubble issue - hopefully it's better looking in real life! I wonder if mildew is going to be a concern on the inside of the rock surfaces? Before going on the Breakaway, I thought I might like to sit on the edge of that water feature. Reality proved different when I saw diapered children in it.

Rare KeithJenner Posted September 19, 2015 #4111 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I've been trying to work out the size of the large balcony rooms on deck 9. When they first pulled the ship out I noticed that deck 9 in that area didn't seem to extend out as far compared to the decks above. Discussion then moved on to the possibility that the standard balconies are bigger than in the Breakaway, so though that perhaps that is the reason. However, looking at the pictures above, the balconies on the mini suites on deck 8 seem to be a lot bigger than the large balcony. My guess is that whilst the standard balconies are a bit bigger on this ship, the large balconies may be a bit smaller. This would have an impact on the mini suites with large balcony, as they seem to be even more overlooked than on the Breakaway. I booked a large balcony on the TA as I didn't want the small balcony. I'll be interested to see the relative sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted September 19, 2015 Author #4112 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Two pics from the Dutch Eemshaven. Seeing those cranes I am wondering if the Eemshaven could even hoist the top mast of Escape (still riding piddy back on the bow's helo pad)..?

hhfarmer Posted September 19, 2015 #4114 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I will be staying in a forward family O2 oceanview. 12700 to be exact. Would love to see how these are setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh84 Posted September 19, 2015 #4115 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Vibe, which NCL hardly announced a thing about, seems to have a water feature too. Neat! I can't remember where, but I read a description of it as a walk-through shower. That seems like a fairly accurate description based on that picture. Is that Vibe area any larger than the other Away ships? Hopefully it is and will allow for a little more capacity. I have my fingers, toes and eyes crossed in hopes we can get passes in January!

Rare justhappy Posted September 19, 2015 #4116 Share Posted September 19, 2015 She's a beautiful ship, isn't she? I love the hull art. Thanks everyone for posting all the videos and photos. I'm not booked on her yet but am hoping for a cruise next October! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KeithJenner Posted September 19, 2015 #4118 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yes, that picture shows it well. Having said that, I think the bump is probably a couple of foot. If we assume the standard balconies are a foot or so longer then that makes it a yard or so longer in total. My main requirement is that I can sit on the balcony looking directly out, rather than at an angle as the standard ones require. I think that will be ok. My main issue is likely to be jealousy as I sit there and can see the huge balcony below me. As I'm by myself I don't think I will actually need any more space.

missdixie Posted September 19, 2015 #4119 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm pretty impressed by the normal balcony depth! Love the videos. And thanks for the pics. I can see my balcony for sure in this one. Definitely will be enjoying it. 77 days. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bump looks very small in this shot: http://www.depping-design.de/test/displayimage.php?album=336&pid=11181#top_display_media We've reserved the Forward Haven Suite 14106 which is just below the Bridge wing. Concerned about the porthole looking area where our cabin should be. Is that the balcony ? Or is the balcony behind that and that is an extra window not showing on the generic floor plans of the Forward Facing Penthouse Suites ? Wondering also that it appears the rear of the bridgewing looks down onto the balcony. Just wondering what the actual floorplan looks like. Gerry.

Unfortunately, that "porthole looking area" is your balcony. This is what these H7 enclosed balconies look like on Breakaway and Getaway. On Escape they've also added a support strut to strengthen the bridge wing, which will further partially obstruct your view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted September 19, 2015 #4123 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) If you go here: http://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/ESCAPE/staterooms/the%20haven You can see the floor plan for this room. The window at the front is in the bedroom and the main living area is behind it with a balcony off of it. Edit to say that I've never seen the actual balcony on these rooms, so I'd believe whatever barnacle boy says about the side balcony. From looking at the picture you were referring to, I think I got the wrong end of the stick as to which bit you were referring to.

Right Keith, that is what I thought, but it appears 14106/706, at the level right below deck 15, the bridge wing, is the only level that has that extra porthole. (If that is what that is). Gerry Okay P.S. now Barnacle I see that now, also wondering if the forward cabins get smaller the higher up you go, much as the aft suites on Oasis/Allure. Their Aquasuites. Looks like here a lower deck or so might be the better choice. Thanks fellows. Gerry Edited September 19, 2015 by buckeye rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfin55 Posted September 19, 2015 #4125 Share Posted September 19, 2015 With the larger standard balcony. It sure looks like the B6's are no longer worth the $$$. I think they just narrowed the gap between standard and large balls. I don't think the B Or M 6's are any larger then BA/GA. Based on the close up photos.
