Seven days to sail on the Escape! 🙂 First time on NCL and can't wait.

Thanks to you both, I'll be sure to check availability once we get on board and be ready first thing Wednesday morning!

Rueben, Thanks very much for the review and info. Can you tell me when they released the tender sign up notice for GSC?. Also was any night at all formal? Thanks we sail 3/11 and are first time NCL cruisers. Best!

Devinelaw, Recognizing you had priority tendering, do you recall what day they made the announcement to sign up for tender spots to get off at Great Stirrup Cay? Thanks

What a fantastic review! Thanks so much for taking us along 🙂 We checked in last night, actually just after midnight this morning for our 3/11 Escape cruise. Got 9:00-9:30 check in. This will be our first Norwegian cruise, so really looking for a change. Welcome home!

Thanks!

Devinelaw, How exciting ! We are staying Friday night at the Radisson for a pre-cruise party. Fingers crossed this launch holds schedule. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone please share a link to determine # of ships in port? Used to have it but can't locate 🙂 Thanks in advance!

Thanks Cruising575 🙂

Second on Megan's Bay, easy walk into shallow water, no waves. Good food and restrooms.

I'd go to Megan's Bay, very calm and shallow, no drop offs and good food bath room options. I will be there with DW week of 3/11 sailing. No kids but I'd take me 2 1/2 Yr old grandson for sure. Take a taxi and just let them know when you want to go back. You can/should bring your own swim support wear for the children Have fun 🙂

We sail March 11th so will be reading along, thanks for doing this, 🙂

Hello, Looking for the nights for White out and Glow parties please. Thanks

Can anyone let me know what days they did White out and Glow nights? Thanks

Cruiseny4life, Thanks very much! We are older and cannot hang with the big dogs like we used to, But...... 🙂

Helene109, Thanks Please do. DW and I just booked Escape for next March. It will be our first time on Norwegian and we are long time Carnival/Princess cruisers. Thanks

For those that know... We are new to Norwegian and will have the premium unlimited drink package when we sail on the Escape next Spring. Question, is it really unlimited or is there a cut off? Just curious 🙂

Yup sad, they have two doodles still. We sadly learned they have sold the business and moving family back to Canada end of this year. Hopefully new owners will keep it going. Trying to talk DW into one more trip 🙂

No charge for chair umbrella use at Jack's Shack as long as your buying drinks or food. We had a group of 10 and had a blast. Jerk Chix and Crack Conch were delicious. As always Erin and the crew behind the bar were the BEST!

Slap Koozies on the Mardi Gras, Actually worked great 🙂

Markntara, We must be brothers from another mother 🙂 Cheers my friend!

Last October on the Magic they had her all decked out with spooky decorations and a giant pumpkin head guy like 2 stories high in the atrium. Fun for sure!

Love the review, we all tested negative for our Saturday Mardi Gras sailing. Safe travels Enjoy your trip! 🙂

I'll share this from our January sailing on Mardi Gras, As noted above after check in everyone waits in a big open hall area with seating although limited. Nice restrooms inside and cold water fountains in the back. When they call the suites who are seated in a separate area but visible it becomes cow heard mentality for the rest. Everyone stands and moves toward the boarding area regardless of what boarding group they are announcing. Very hard to hear them by the way, they could do better to have the current boarding group shown on the TV screens. We were A-4 then and A-1 this Saturday. The ship was not full then but expect it will be this time. Smooth sailing

Thanks, Not our experience for Mardi Gras leaving Saturday. DW and I are Platinum. I had booked four cabins for our family ( two Gold)all balconies deck 12 port hump forward. I was only able to check in our cabin early the others I had to wait the 2 days. Maybe a Suite helped out, not sure but glad it worked for you. We got A-1, others were A-4; A-8 and a D-2 All checked in at the crack of midnight, so not sure what happened on the D but regardless we will have a great time. Best 🙂
