sounds like a great couple stops, how many day trip?
7 days, it's a Saturday to Saturday. They are offering freebies this month so I want to take advantage. I already get drink cards through the casino, so I'm going to choose the dining package. The ship looks amazing, it's first voyage is in November.
Would love to see a cruise meet! I've never cruised before.
Oh, I think I could talk Troy into going.
If anyone wants to check pricing, call the Casino at Seas program directly. They offer discounts and sometimes comped cruises if you've cruised with them before, and you get the drink card by booking through them! Their number is (877) 752-9625.
Sounds like a great idea and a great time and a fun time will be had by all but I think the timing will be bad for us Our Anniversary is Feb. 14th and my SO will probably want to go to Tahoe and I will be outvoted but you never know.
Sounds AMAZING and I love NCL!!! I'll talk to my girl and check out pricing.

I wish we had more time and money....too many trips, I want to join in on them all.
Damn I might be interested!! I've been reading a lot about this new ship.
wow nice might have to look into it
@seemoreroyals you may be able to get the cruise for free so check that number I posted and tell them you are 7 stars with CET!
@Gypsy how does casino at sea handle singles I guess I will call...sounds like fun and my Dad says no more for him at 90...
Cyndy, if you book through the casino there is usually no single supplement! Also, NCL's new ship have studios that are designed for singles (they are tiny but adorable).
I am thinking this idea could have some real potential Gypsy!!
Cyndy if I went I would be a single too!
Here is a YouTube video @kjell28 texted me....

Man that's tempting.....a brewhouse on board and Margaritaville....love cruising.!Not keen on Bahamas, but it would be my first cruise out of Miami...hmm.
Can we talk pricing in here or is that uncouth? I would be curious to know what you paid, if you got a discount, etc. Or for those of us who are seriously interested, it would help to post what you were quoted when you call.
I usually get comped for 2 and just pay taxes and some other fee so like $1,000, but I totally upgraded, so I'm in a Spa mini suite. Also no comp for me on this cruise just the standard diamond discount 20 percent.
Online it's showing a balcony for $1099, however I looked before work and I swear it was less than that. That's regular rate with no casino involvement. Tempting!
Plus the special they are running for March is great. You can choose one; Ultimate drink, dining, gratuities or onboard credit. Like I said, I chose dining because of the drink card, but if you get the beverage package, that is good at all bars on the ship. The drink card is only good in the casino or the casino bar.
Oh that was for 2 people, 1 person for a balcony is $2198.. $1099 for a Studio. If went, I'd be sleeping in low class for sure! Haha
The studios are actually really cute. We toured them on our last cruise and while they are small, or cozy lol, I actually thought they were larger than they looked once inside. If I was cruising solo I would totally go for it, or if you really want a balcony, just pair up with someone.
I checked out a YouTube video of the Studios on the Breakaway and they do look really cool for just one person. You can twist my arm in Vegas, although I'll miss out on the March freebies. I've always wanted to cruise and this looks like an amazing option for a cruise noob!
I wouldn't worry too much about missing the March specials, they run those periodically and the cruise is almost a year out. Also, FYI, if anyone is considering the cruise, when you book it you have to pay the deposit which is $500 for 2, not sure about 1. And then the remainder is not due until 45 days from sailing, or you could pay down on it if you wanted.
Here is a nice LONG thread on the Escape. Started way back in March of 2014 so there may be a lot of old outdated information, but the newer pages are good.

Ha ha don't feel bad... We are headed to Colorado this summer to his favorite place on Earth, AWESTRUCK and then will probably be going to England this fall for more Liverpool soccer matches. He gets plenty of fun!!

OK I called Casino at Sea, and for three people in a balcony cabin, it would be $2659.38 (total). That reflects my 20% diamond discount. So about $900 per person, which isn't bad for a balcony cabin. Also would include the drink card for the casino, even though I've never sailed with them before.
