Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 16, 2017 #1151 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Has anyone noticed the new rendering for the Haven deck 17 no longer includes the white space that everyone thought initially was the larger balcony? Do you all still believe the larger balconies are on 17? From a "larger balcony standpoint" my money, literally, is on #18100 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted August 16, 2017 #1152 Share Posted August 16, 2017 From a "larger balcony standpoint" my money, literally, is on #18100 :) Yep....can't argue with you on that one! We have 18702 - on the Escape 9/2018 - booked for the same reason. For the Bliss - PC transit 11/2018 - we went aft penthouse for the view.

Minoushka Posted August 16, 2017 #1153 Share Posted August 16, 2017 On Escapes inaugural crossing we had fabulous shows and acts ..every night .A fellow artist invited to perform only performed once as they had so many acts they could not squeeze him in till last evening ....many surprise many great, great shows ..I hope Bliss will be the same ...i know i,m going for that reason ..we will not sit in the sun ...not in april Notrth Atlantic ..think brrrrr ..probably rain in azores not exactly warm in April in Halifax ...so shows are main attraction If they are as good as on Escape we are in on quite a treat There was one show on Escape whivh did not continue in Caribbean ...lots of singers and dancser with fabulous costumes ...i cannot remember the name ,,,. It was great but too expensive to run long term I met some of the cast ..complimented the ladies on their gorgeous gowns which they told me cost 10000$ each plus neede a full time seamstress to resew sequins regularly ...it was a spectacular show ...Im glad we got to see it So what are the plans for Bliss as they will be an important part of first crossing Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaru Posted August 16, 2017 #1155 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Yes, but primarily because I don't have any info to show otherwise.and they still show balcony ranges on those cabins "on the side" (DOS' were never in question). I am hopeful, but likely I wouldn't change location because I am on the TA and it's doubtful the weather will be conducive to balcony weather. I mainly booked 17 because I have a strong preference to the location and did not want the potential deck noise from 19 that some 18 deck cabins have. Has anyone noticed the new rendering for the Haven deck 17 no longer includes the white space that everyone thought initially was the larger balcony? Do you all still believe the larger balconies are on 17? Edited August 16, 2017 by asubaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted August 16, 2017 #1156 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Haven side balconies should be the same as Escape. The DOS on Bliss (deck 18) should be the same size as the DOS deck 18 on Escape. The DOS on deck 17 on Escape has a larger balcony than either deck 18 DOS.

$hip$hape Posted August 16, 2017 #1160 Share Posted August 16, 2017 ... the Observation Lounge should be a great place to hang out! I'm hoping only you and me and a few others thought of this, and not 3000 other pax.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamacruisersDJJ Posted August 17, 2017 #1165 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Do you prefer the master bathroom with a balcony view (what you currently have) or the master bedroom with a balcony view and 2nd access door to the balcony? Thank you for that info, you saved me. I had 14280 and did not realize the different configurations, I need two escape routes;p and more deck is a bonus . Changed to deck 12. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaru Posted August 17, 2017 #1166 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Curious ....... why do you think they have square footage ranges for most of the side balcony types? They don't have this descriptive range on the Escape. OTOH, they have yet to correct the square footage stated in their Aft Penthouse description. :confused: Haven side balconies should be the same as Escape. The DOS on Bliss (deck 18) should be the same size as the DOS deck 18 on Escape. The DOS on deck 17 on Escape has a larger balcony than either deck 18 DOS.

sandyh85 Posted August 17, 2017 #1167 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hehe, yup on 7 is the lifeboat entry deck. From the muster stations emergency exits open to this walkway. On Bliss it will be smaller but quite similar in look and feel. The forward part of deck 7 is open (no lifeboats blocking the view) and with the wake of the bow it's one of the best, if not the best, spots to connect with the ocean when sailing. Agreed, one of the best spots! We caught sight of some dolphins playing this May enroute from Bermuda from our balcony up front.

[emoji41][emoji4][emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Definitely a good move. :) We booked deck 17 on the Escape too (next March) though had to go with deck 18 for our Bliss sailing, as they sacrificed the deck 17 DOS cabins for the observation lounge.

RMS Olympic Posted August 17, 2017 #1169 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Love the changes as compared to the Escape. I'm booked on the first Alaska sailing June 2, 2018......booked an outside overlooking the bow on deck 13. Now that I have seen the changes in the layout which I think are great, thought a warm Caribbean cruise would be in order. So I called NCL and booked a second cruise on Jan 12, 2019 an eastern Caribbean cruise...in a solo cabin. I need to buy stock in NCL Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Drifters Posted August 17, 2017 #1173 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've searched every way I know how, but I cannot find an Itinerary for Bliss leaving LA after they finish their 15 day PC cruise on May 25 up to Seattle ready to start her AK itineraries. Does anyone have info on this? is there just not a public sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the NYC to Miami gap, it might be for Travel agents etc. They cannot go US port to US port without having another country on the itinerary.

Does anyone have info on this? is there just not a public sailing?I think this is the answer...The Jones Act prevents a non US flag ship from transporting passengers from one US port to another US port without visiting a distant foreign port. That's why there isn't one from NYC to Miami after the TA too. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
