ESCAPE: My Cruise & thoughts

[TAMUPhD]

If I recall correctly she said they DO have chicken fingers in O'Sheehans.

 

I wish to confirm as all menus and previous comments that I have read state that they no longer are available.

We will be in 9126 in a few days! Can you tell me what chairs you had on the balcony?

 

I believe 2 loungers, a chair and a small table.

Thanks for the great review. I'm excited to board at the end of April!

Hi, I never knew about port taxes being charged on the UBP whilst in port in Miami. Could you please how much they were?? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for this review! We sail on her next week. So excited and can't wait. Love reading about all the places on board.

I have perhaps the most important follow-up question to your wonderful review....Does O'Sheehan's still serve chicken tenders/fingers with honey mustard dipping sauce?

 

I wish to confirm as all menus and previous comments that I have read state that they no longer are available.

According to the menu from Beyondships2, they are no longer available.

It's not just on the UBP, it's on all drinks when you are still in Miami or within 1/2 hour after debarkation. FLA sales tax of 6% is added per drink.

My point exactly. No chicken tenders listed there, however OP stated that they had them while onboard at O'Sheehan's. Wish to verify the OP's statement.

And it's not just Miami. It's whatever US Port the ship is docked in. Whatever their sales tax is.....is what you pay when in a US Port.

Thank you for editing my Escape Review and making font bigger, paragraph form, etc... As I said, I am not a professional writer. Help! I cannot find where this review ended up: In other words, I thought this would appear in the Norwegian Crusie Line / ESCAPE forum; but I can't find it there? I will also add the reviews of the Shore Excursions, but as I said, I want this to specifically be on the ESCAPE forum. Thanks

 

I found your post in the Norwegian forum, not specifically the Escape forum. I don't know how to re-post or move to there, perhaps another member can help with that.

 

What a great first post though! Thank you for taking the time to post your experience! Very helpful!!

Thank you for your review! Looking forward to our week on the Escape :)

Thanks for posting this great, honest & down-to-earth review... much appreciated! We're heading on board in just a couple days, and I'm really happy to read a review from someone who recently sailed and really enjoyed the Escape. I know we will too! :)

Nope, she said wings.

I am sorry...after reading my original review, I see that I put Chicken fingers on items that can be ordered by picky eaters (i.e. Kids)... I am sorry to report to those of you anxiously awaiting them... I don't think they had Chicken Fingers there; just their wings. The wings were Awesome though! :)

I am willing to put up with high prices, additional add on fees, long waits at the elevator, buffets that are a madhouse, $10 for an extra entree, no deck chairs after 7:30am and an extremely crowded pool but to NOT offer chicken tenders with honey mustard dipping sauce! ?!

Thank you for a great review. February will be my first NCL cruise and I learned a lot from your review. I don't recall other lines charging tax in port, so this and no bottled water on the booze package were new to me. Looks like i will be bringing water on board with me. Hopefully there will be some good surprises too.:D

Thanks for the awesome review. We are sailing on the Escape at the end of April.

 

One question - with the UBP - are ALL bars included such as Margaritaville, etc?

 

Thanks for the insight - we're very excited.
