BREAKING NEWS:

Quit searchin’ for your lost shaker of salt, it’s right here at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville and the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar—the first-ever at sea, coming to Norwegian Escape in 2015! Share if you can’t wait to celebrate with a round of frozen drinks!

 

This is AWESOME!!!!!!

Now that would be awesome. Toss BMG into the mix and Tortola and I am all over it. Of course "all over it" still won't be till 2017 but still. . .

A large section of the Escape floated out of the large hall at Meyer Werft shipyard.

I would not find this that impressive. This is an establishment they have at all the tourist traps. So now on a cruise ship? They make and keep their margaritas in those frozen mix containers and just pour them out like soda. Its about the name, not the quality of the drink since they are made pre-packaged and pre-mixed.

I just prefer to leave all the touristy and name brands on land when I cruise. I know Royal started it with Johnny Rockets and Starbucks. Nothing wrong with it but adding Margaritaville on a cruise ship is probably the least creative thing you can do. But I suppose when you are eating your Carlos cupcake you can drink your pre-made margarita :) What next? McDonalds and Burgerking? I like when cruise ships can be creative and create their own brands and lounge experience. But to each their own. Its a name brand and thats about it. But you can go anywhere to experience it. So its not that welcoming to me IMHO.

 

Blue Man coming to Escape? Is that just a crazy rumor? That would be stupid IMHO after Blue Man was performing almost 5 years on NCL's biggest ship. Can we get a little more creative?

Senor Frogs + Applebee’s = Margaretville.

Yawn. :rolleyes:

These are awesome. Thanks for posting

[ptuder]

Thanks for the pics!

 

I'm one of the folks who is happy with Margaritaville. Yes it is touristy, not meant to be a serious place but I love the fun atmosphere and music. Hopefully they will keep good music there nightly, we will be on the Escape one year from today!

[SissasMomE]

With Margaritaville now being on the Escape, and a complimentary restaurant, do you think they will still have O'Sheehan's?

I haven't heard any rumours about the Blue Men. I raised it as pure speculation (maybe on this thread) a while ago, based on nothing more than the timing of the change in the Epic and that many people say BMG is better suited to an American audience than European.

I hope not. I really, really hope not. I cannot see NCL "recycling" BMG to a new ship, thankfully.

It's Jimmy Buffett. I think it's huge!

Agreed. I'm happy with anything Jimmy Buffett - and you can't get more "Florida" than that ;)

[SissasMomE]

Do the balconies look wider to you? Or is that just my wishful thinking?! :p

[DGP1111]

Big THANKS to those posting new pictures of this "work in progress" :D . :D

I really do hope so.

 

I like the food at O'Sheehan's

Me too!!

[joeski27]

Me too!!

 

Well O'Sheehans is still listed on the official Escape website, so I'd say yes it will be there.

 

I think location wise the 5 O'Clock Somewhere bar replaces the martini & mojito bar location at the top of 678 Ocean; And my guess is Tobacco Road bar replaces Maltings/Sunset bar location.

Good news. It's a good "hang out" spot :)

The 5 O'clock Somewhere bar will be on the Waterfront.
