  • This is our Mini Suite 8120 with Extra Large Balcony on the Norwegian Escape, June 2016. There are only a small handful of these special cabins located on Deck 8, hidden through Secret Passageways and right smack in the middle of all the food and entertainment action. The Balconies are 225 sq feet, almost the same size as the suite! Category M6.

    Great review. I appreciate that you explained there are two different room configurations represented on the map (triangle and square) for these State rooms. I took my first Norwegian Cruise on the Sky two weeks ago and will look into the Escape for my next cruise. Thank you.

    Fantastic video. Going on the Escape for the first time in October 2022, although have sailed many of the other NCL ships. Wanted the large balcony and your video explained everything perfectly. Thank you so much for all of this great information!

      @rebeccamohandiss4063 7 років тому

      Hi! We just booked a July 2017 cruise on the Escape in cabin 8116. I was wondering if you have already taken your cruise? If so, what did you think about the cabin and the ship in general?

    • @orlandoteixeira4446
      @orlandoteixeira4446 7 років тому

      The ship and cabin are amazing, but for one little thing. You are directly below the bridge extension, and for a couple of the at sea days there was a constant water dripping down onto the balcony of this room and 8118. Live and learn, I booked the getaway for March and moved back to 8120, hope it is far enough.

    • @rebeccamohandiss4063
      @rebeccamohandiss4063 7 років тому

      Thank you! Disappointing about the water dripping on the balcony. So, was it so much water that you couldn't really use the balcony on the "at sea" days?

    • @orlandoteixeira4446
      @orlandoteixeira4446 7 років тому +1

      It did not keep us from being on the balcony. My wife reminded me I had it backwards, sea days were fine, but it seemed like when we were in port they cleaned the ship, and the water just dripped in after they cleaned it all up there. It was more like "What they heck is that drop, did you see that?" And then it happened again a few seconds later. Also, it was all the way out by the rail, so if you were sitting at the table you were pretty much fine.

  • @melvinjacobs2328
    @melvinjacobs2328 7 років тому

    Great video. I was really tempted, but it's a very long walk to the stairs and elevators. I settled on a mid ship mini on deck 13, which is near the elevators and stairs to go up or down to the Waterfront or pool area. Looking forward to that shower.Thanks again.

    • @jwsalveson7936
      @jwsalveson7936 7 років тому

      The steps and the elevator are right out the door and all the restaurants, casino, shops and activities are all right outside the hallway. The elevators take a looooooong time to get because of only two elevator banks and exclusive use of two elevators for the Haven guests.

    For the key in the light switch thing, apparently putting a folded up piece of paper in there, will work instead of the room key. For those that like to leave their key on the lanyard or in your wallet.
    Never stayed in that room, but I've seen it done on different ships in other videos

    Please tell me, what is the fold down thingy in the closets on cruise ships?

    • @jwsalveson7936
      @jwsalveson7936 6 років тому

      That is a bar to double hang your clothes such as shorts, blouses and shirts. Doubles the space in the closet if there aren't any long dresses etc.

    • @jwsalveson7936
      @jwsalveson7936 7 років тому

      Just on shore to shop, the stay is not long enough to enjoy the excursions, in our opinion.

    I have a family of 4 (Two kids 4 and 6) do you think upgrading from a large balcony room at 6,200 for the week (175 sq foot room and 70 sq foot balcony) to a Mini Suite at 6700 is worth it? (207 sq foot room and 124 sq foot balcony). We are going on the Escape this summer. Large Balcony on 9th floor and Mini Suite a few doors down from you.

    • @muuskotti
      @muuskotti 8 років тому +1

      That pretty much is a normal balcony but just a bit longer. I've understood it used to have a different name similar to balcony, but I guess the marketing people thought mini-suite sells better ;) That is why always check, check and check all the information before booking so you're not expecting something that doesn't exist.

    Hey! We went on the escape in 2016 it was our first cruise and we loved it we are wanting to go again this year bc they are sailing to Bermuda they port 3 nights. Anywho i watched your video on the escape bc we still havent booked our room yet and we are wanting to sail next weekend june 24 for my bday. Do you have any tips or knowledge on when the prices go down or the best way to book and save money we’ve waited this long and the price still hasn’t dropped should i wait til a couple days before sail to book it its nerve racking not having anything booked yet. We are still so new to cruising this will be our 3rd .

    • @jwsalveson7936
      @jwsalveson7936 6 років тому

      We have found that if we pay a certain price for a cabin and the price goes down, before 90 days out (final Payment) we would get a price adjustment. After the 90 day cut off, and the price goes down, we would get On Board Credit, but we always had to call and "raise the roof" with a CS Agent to get it. However, booking this close to sailing, the price is the price and if there is no movement on the price, the sailing is probably close to being sold out. Happy Sailing.

      You can find them at Target or Walmart, they are in the closet storage sections, and they also have very lightweight cubes, lesser quality but they do the trick, at The Dollar Tree store. All you can also find online at the respective stores. Ours came from Target and they were Two for $8.00, 12x12 cubes and we got two 8x8 cubes, $5.00 which we use on the nightstands for our cell phones, tissues, water, to keep from rolling around should there be rough seas.
