Everything.. ESCAPE (live 29 Oct 2015!)

[hencoll]

Your butler could - but only from certain venues and room service. I don't think they would deliver Margaritaville burgers unfortunately...it would totally rock if they could though! lol

 

Yes they can and they will. We had food delivered to our suite from Margaritaville on the Escape TA. :)

Wish I had sprung for a Haven suite, but that pesky budget of mine said "Nope, not happening". So, a mid-ship mini suite is what I'll be landing in later today. [emoji2]

Bon Voyage! Hope you have a GREAT time - can't wait to hear what you think. :D

Woo! Just disembarked the Escape this morning and I want to go back!

 

I went to Margaritaville on a port day and still had a 30 minute wait. Can't imagine what a sea day would be like.

 

I ordered the taco salad. It was good, but not something I'd wait an hour in line for. So I only went that one time.

 

For The Record was awesommmme and well worth the fee. My new friend and I went twice. The cast started recognizing me around the ship. The second time we went, I got my picture taken with them a second time and then they decided we should all do a "super crazy" picture. It turned out really cute (and I usually hate pics of myself). I liked this one enough to buy it. lol

 

The food at the show was okay. The shrimp was not staring at me, thank goodness...but the show itself was easily worth the price of admission. Wish I could see it again. :(

 

As stated before, they served plenty of Prime Rib in O'Sheehan's at no charge. I can't speak of quality, as I didn't eat there, but I have no reason to think it was anything but good.

 

I won't be at home on my laptop until tomorrow, so pictures will have to wait until then.

 

All in all, it was a great week and I'm sad that it's over. :(

 

Oh, btw...one of the performers in Million Dollar Quarter was either sick or injured (heard something about taking him to the hospital in a port), so I didn't get to see that show.

 

They brought on Tenors of Rock as replacement the last night. They were awesome!

Just got off the escape this morning. The trap door slides were closed for the last couple of days after an accident.apparently A lady didn't make it through and they sent another passenger down after her. Must have been painful

Yikes....that's scary! [emoji15]

Hubbie wants to know if he can pack his PlayStation to watch DVDs in our room during "hangover day" lol. Anyone know if this is possible? Is it worth lugging it around in our luggage?

Very unlikely. The TVs are usually blocked for external inputs. I haven't checked on the Escape, but I'd be surprised if you can connect anything.

[realmccoy]

So for those back from the 7-day...what night is the seafood dinner buffet?

Equipment / software failure?? I believe there are sensors throughout the slide to prevent this. I hope everyone was okay!

[Loonbeam]

If its like the ones at the water park here, there are, but they just set up lights at the control console. If the operator isn't paying attention, can still release.

If someone is in the Haven on deck 18 is there an elevator there to take them down to deck 17 or any other lower decks or do they need to take the stairs to deck 17 and then take an elevator.

 

The deck plans show an elevator on deck 17 right outside of the Haven, however, when one looks at deck 18 there is no elevator - which makes me think those on deck 18 need to use the stairs to get to an elevator since there is not one on deck 18 but is one on deck 17. If that's the case, and I might be totally wrong that it is the case, why would there be a HC cabin on deck 18. And... the HC cabin on deck 17 would need to use the stairs to get to the Haven restaurant?

 

Anyone been in the Haven that can enlighten me?

 

Thanks!

Elevators go all the way up. All of the large ships (BA, GA, Escape, Epic) have a very, very annoying elevator configuration where on certain elevators go to all floors. Call buttons on different sides of the elevator lobby call different sets of elevators. How to pick the "right" elevator call button is explained when you board.

Thank you. Still, when I look at deck 18 I only see stairs!

 

But I'll take your word for it :)

Thanks to everyone for their updates! If anyone who just returned from the 7 day has dailies, would love to see them.

Harriet,

Thanks for bringing this back up. I asked the same question a couple of months back and because none of the folks that had been aboard were able to talk, I was going to have to wait until revenue cruises started. As we've noted, the elevator rank lifts don't seem to go to deck 18 according to the deck plans. One thing I've seen since paying passengers have uploaded videos, is that there is for sure and elevator from 17 to 18 that's located at the back of the spiral staircase between the Haven Lounge and the Haven Restaurant. This elevator seems large enough to accommodate HC passengers, so even if the the elevator rank lifts stop at 17, there is still a way do get to 18 without using stairs. I am hoping though that at least one of the elevator rank lifts go all the way to 18.

In the Haven lounge is an elevator to go to 18...I don't remember if it goes to the sun deck above sorry.

I don't know what is in the Haven itself, but I know that the regular forward elevators go to 18 (at least some of them), and one single elevator in that bank even goes to 19. I am trying to find a good aerial shot of the ship to show you where, but no luck so far. We took this elevator a few times when heading to the cantilevered hot tubs, and it was on that same deck, just aft of the public part of the Vibe bar (port side of ship).

[KeithJenner]

The deck plans miss some elevators.

 

For example, there is one elevator which goes all the way up to deck 19, but it isn't shown on the deck plans. It is a unique elevator as you enter or exit it from the rear.

 

In the same way, there are some elevators which do go to deck 18, outside the Haven, but they aren't shown on the deck plans.

[insidecabin]

Summary.

 

Within the haven there is an elevator that services the 3 haven decks 17,18,19.

(probably a service one in the area as well)

 

The forward elevators service up to deck 19 public sun deck.

 

Aft access to the rope course is via external stair lift on port side.
