Has anyone found out what the Escape will be doing for the Wednesday that they won’t be docked? Two days is already more than enough time to get from NYC to Bermuda...three days seems almost excessive. Would they just go even slower?

 

I remember when the Dawn ran aground off Bermuda a couple years ago, and had to go back to port for the night. The Breakaway arrived and tendered in the Sound for Wednesday, and then docked once the Dawn left. I wonder whether they could treat Wednesday as a tender day? Or maybe the port would be too full?

NCL Dawn once tendered from Grassy bay into HAMILTON one Wednesday on a cruise we took. :evilsmile:

:) Leave the closet light on. ;)

:D MS Norwegian Dream 2008 :hearteyes:

Sad to say there are No more ships of this size left in the NCL fleet.

I've seen the NCL ferry schedule posted, but can't seem to find it when I do a search here on Cruise Critic. If anyone has it, could it be posted? Or a link to it? TIA

Search 2 posts before you.

We stay packed up and ready to go.

Wash ,fold ,and repack after each adventure.:cool:

Pack-it folder's help a lot =

Ncl has only one ferry from St George's back to Royal Naval Dockyard on Friday's at 1:15. How often are ncl passengers turned away due to ferry being too full on that last day?

That has Never happened yet.

Any new reports?

If you rent a scooter in Bermuda, take a grand just to start with for posable medical need's. :evilsmile:

Dex stated cabin 9506 was an area to stay away from... am I missing something?

9506 is not in the O.P. 's area At All.

It's half a ship away.:confused:

Elaborate on this post..."visit only but not stay...."

Oh, Dex is saying there not much at all in the lounge area, just seating. Most folk look at the place, say very nice, and move along.

Can you please elaborate.... I am in the planning stages and can't make up my mind between deck 9 or deck 10 for the 15 night Panama Canal cruise in Nov 2019 and would hate to have a cabin that has issues!!!

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Elaborate what?

There are No reported issue's in this area. :confused:

Outside your cabin door is a Blank wall with a solid door on both end's.

It was the Internet cafe before Dawn's revamp.

Now its a quite seating area with a few couches and chair's overlooking the atrium below ,the stage and such.

:D Key chain size Purel ;p

Hello New Mexico Nita,

I’m looking forward to reading your review. I will be on The Dawn September 7th for a Boston to Bermuda cruise.

Did you take photos of the main dining room menus?

Menus posted online are about 3 years old.

If no photos, can you write about some of your favorite items in the MDR

Brian

There are 27 MDR menu variations for the head chief to chose from.

No way to guess in advance of which will be offered.

the 8122 door opens to the elevator area ( noisy).:(

8626 is a better location.

Both have very little view.

I'm stealing this from a very old thread (back to 2005) since it was very outdated.

 

One cruiser mentioned they like to give small gifts for their cabin steward, waiter, etc. (In addition to the standard tips). I thought this was a great idea so I am mentioning a few that I saw on that old thread.

 

One mentioned they really need/use are international calling cards to call home, but since they all have cell phones this is outdated. The updated version would be Visa/Amex gift cards.

 

Tide pods are great because they do their own laundry. Another old idea was mini hershey bars, kisses, suckers, etc.

 

Today at work someone was selling candy bars for their kid's fundraiser. So for $1 I can give one to my cabin steward, waiter, etc while supporting their kid. It's like double dipping into the nice gesture pool.

 

Anyone have any other ideas?

:) On NCL , you could Bring your bartender a box of straws. ;p

We just came back from Norwegian Escape cruise to Bermuda. The ship was docked for 2 1/2 days. It was great not to worry to be late for the ship's departure for 2 days, come and go.

 

Did anyone try to book an Elbow Beach Resort for 1 or 2 nights stay while on a cruise? It would be nice to spend a day or 2 at the resort and enjoy a wonderful beach and then go back to ship at the day of the departure. I know it's expensive but for a special occasion like an anniversary... I know we can do a day pass but would like to stay a bit longer...

 

Crazy idea? :DDid anyone ever tried it?

@ $895 per night at Elbow beach resort, NO!! ;p

Does NCL give out playing cards at the pursers desk?

:) Yes :D

:) Happy Dance time. :D

After 25 NCL cruises I won't even think of a Big Ship cruise.

I Love the Spirit and Sun. :D
