coach jim Posted February 6, 2016 #1026 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Doug, Best travel log/review ever! Really outstanding. We get to go "home" next Sat. Looking forward to challenging the top of the leader board. Again, thanks for taking us along. Safe travels, Coach Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobTheGob Posted February 6, 2016 #1027 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A very enjoyable week of reading - thanks for taking the time to make it happen! But I'm slightly relieved that I don't have 10 pages to catch up on each time I visit the forum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted February 6, 2016 #1028 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Great review!! Thanks so much for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes1side Posted February 6, 2016 #1029 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Great job Doug! If NCL was smart they would spiff you some cruises so you can live blog. I'm sure you sold a number of Escape bookings for them through this review. Bravo!!! Ditto! Or even a series on the Travel Channel similar to the Booze Traveler. Wouldn't be a bad gig and Doug is obviously a natural... Edited February 6, 2016 by wes1side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyhead Posted February 6, 2016 #1030 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Doug, You Rock!!! I enjoyed your posts all week. Have a safe trip home. 14 days until we board. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kealy Posted February 6, 2016 #1032 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I also greatly enjoyed your live review, humor and all the pics! We Just escaped 3 weeks ago so it was fantastic for reminiscing and also inspiring for wanting to book our next cruise. We had a blast on the Escape & reading your live review.

SenatorsFan Posted February 6, 2016 #1033 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Well done, Doug! I enjoyed following on your Escape journey and am also sad that it's come to an end! I hope we read another review from you before too long. :) Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianmike Posted February 6, 2016 #1034 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Doug, thoroughly enjoyed your review. Standing ovation! Love your sense of humor and camera eye for telling a story. Can't wait to read your next review! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touloo Posted February 6, 2016 #1035 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Best I have ever read! Been a member for 7 years and never posted, your review brought me out of my "lurking" status. So much fun, couldn't wait each morning to get up and see what adventures you were going to have for the day. Made my whole week! We leave on 3/12 and I am super excited to ESCAPE!

ksslms Posted February 6, 2016 #1036 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks so much Doug fit the wonderful tour of the Escape. You got us so excited for our "Escape" this week. Needless to say we had to stop at the beer hall first. Wife poured down a Boulevard wheat, I went the way of a Magic Hat #9. Hope you have a safe trip home. Regards, Ken and LeAnn.

sbsco Posted February 6, 2016 #1039 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Must chime in, thanks for the review. You need to call NCL or hopefully you went to guest services and had your account comped. After all the apparantely prudes writing reviews. Waiting days for drinks, never eating, waiting forever, everywhere, horrible service. You put many a people's mind at ease, even I was nervous maybe Escape wasn't the right choice. If the super bowl ads are getting $5mill for 30 seconds. You deserve at least $1mill. for this review this thread will hit 100K views of positivity. You have more comments about this review on other threads than most reviews get. Cheers!!

HowardK Posted February 6, 2016 #1040 Share Posted February 6, 2016 OUTSTANDING and well done! Best review I have ever read here and I am glad I booked for December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderful1 Posted February 6, 2016 #1041 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) That's it, another poster hit it exactly! Doug, you are a brilliant storyteller. Full of detail, readers are left anticipating what's happening when wifi is down, touring the ship, sleeping or diving. I found the updates of the various parts of the ship, ONDOUGTIME, when I'd usually be asleep, fascinating. Doug, if I were you u really would explore a business partnership with NCL to bring them an effective new style of marketing. Again, I loved it, lived it with you, and plan to evaluate the reread ability soon!! On a side note, look up PERISCOPE in the App Store to add to your storytelling toolbox.

TheDougOut Posted February 6, 2016 Author #1042 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sitting at Fort Lauderdale airport and reading the thread from the start.

Boston proper Posted February 6, 2016 #1043 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Power's been out for 22 hours due to storm. Just got it back and the FIRST thing I did was catch up on Doug's adventures. The best thread ever on CC. Thanks for taking us along. The Dawn is a great ship but may be a bit of a letdown after this week. The wanderings may be a little limited but no less fun! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi1910 Posted February 6, 2016 #1044 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Well done Doug you've kept us all enthralled with your travelogue. I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few days without your posts, I've already got withdrawal symptoms. We're on Escape on the 27th and looking forward to it even more now. Have a safe journey home. Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verrybusy Posted February 6, 2016 #1048 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm all set for my first solo cruise, and first time on NCL Escape in March. I'm enjoying your review and wondering what excursions might be good choices for a 40ish solo cruiser. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony0aces Posted February 6, 2016 #1049 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I started day one and I waited until today to POST because I really did not want to interrupt the SHOW (LIVE REVIEW). Doug you absolutely deserve to be BRANDED by NCL as their top guest and they should feature you on all the NEW cruise ships (live-reviews). If someone is reading Dougs post please contact the ELLEN DeGeneres Show and get him on there. As a matter of fact, I want to go with you. We can give a LIVE review on the way to ELLEN for all of your CC fans to follow. You covered every aspect of the SHIP with raw talent. Only slight of hand (no-pun intended )missing for me and my DW were pics and/or HANDPAYS at the CASINO. We have dropped a couple of $$$ in there and enjoy when we see or hear about winners while playing in CAS. Thanks again, DOUGOUT......YOUR review will last a life time on CC. :):):):):)-5 smile review.... BTW......we are sailing on her March 19.....and can't wait.....
