FreestyleNovice Posted September 10, 2020 Author #178 Share Posted September 10, 2020 In the atrium render you might have noticed the larger windows all the way in the background. See there's an outside wrap around walkway in real life vs the render. And those beams seem to be sturdy enough (and open ) to be fitted with glass plates to create a skywalkish deck? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the rendering the lower glass front looks much bigger then at the real pic. With all the new stylisch Interieur I hope they don’t forget a good district brewhouse or sports bar. Hope they do something similar like at the away+ class. The seaside has a sports bar with glass front/ winter garden too.

I was on the Bliss during the World Series in 2019 and had to use my internet minutes for updates as I couldn't find a public TV showing the games ANYWHERE, and it wasn't on the room TVs either.

So if you are Ruby on NCL, you will also be Ruby on Oceania and Regent. Adding that you can also get Oceania casino discounts/comps based on your NCL casino play. (Booked for 14 days to Bermuda on B2B Oceania cruises in 2021 based on my NCL casino status. My first Oceania - can't wait!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also sailed RCI, on Explorer and Anthem. I can't imagine sailing on an Oasis-class ship, those things are massive! RCI's Quantum (and Quantum-Ultra) and NCL's Breakaway (and Breakaway-Plus) ships are about the largest I can see being on. I honestly give NCL some credit for NOT going for the size crown and even going a little SMALLER with the Leonardo-class ships. There are just some places those super-mega ships can't go. Oasis class ship - when sold out - was the least crowded ship I have been on. RCL knows how to build ships and utilize their deck space. That said, I have no desire to go larger, but love the Oasis class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they build this ship class little higher, I think, then other. i think Leonardo class will have More rooms with balcony then the other ncl ships. deck space is the question what ncl is doing. Encore could have without laser tag, race track, the biggest vibe at sea enough deck space. But Ncl cut it down. Encore is the absolute worst ship we have ever been on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to side with you on this but I would say the worst NEW ship. We were on her inaugural TA from Southampton to New York last year. We enjoyed the crossing very much, the sail-in into New York was the best we have ever had, ship was beautiful, we had excellent service, and so on, but we will not cruise on her again due to lack of Spice H2O, and we are not interested in the Race Track, Laser Tag or Virtual Reality. On top of that the awful bubble cr*p chandelier that graces the atrium is by far the worst. Pity about that. The Le Bistro on Encore was the best!! It's on deck 17 with fantastic windows and views. The Bliss is the same. Le Bistro on Breakaway, Getaway and Escape are the worst due to its location. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted September 15, 2020 #188 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We enjoyed our Encore cruise. We had a large balcony so didn't really spend any time by the pools. Loved Choir of Man and hope those shows survive this cruising shutdown. Yes, ugliest chandelier ever, but we enjoyed every minute of that cruise. We especially loved Onda. We were booked again on her with two nights of Onda reserved when our April cruise was cancelled. It looks like Leonardo class has some great 'Waterfront' type deck space. It could become our favorite type of ship if they utilize that area well. I could imagine some good music and enjoying indoor/outdoor bars and restaurants on that deck. I hope they add restaurants like Onda and Pincho Tapas to Leonardo class🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff79 Posted September 20, 2020 #200 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) i think yes, the big one in the middle should be a door ? at the ship renderings this area is straight, at the pic i´m not sure if the door? with 2-3 windows left and right are further out than the rest. ( Maybe it is only because the pic is not so clear, not sure). i think i´m wrong and it is straight? But at the Ondo? pic the windows are not straight too, but looks different?.
