drneal Posted February 27, 2017 Author #32 Share Posted February 27, 2017 DAY 2 Sea Day Sunday was our first sea day AND my daughter's 11th birthday. I ordered the birthday package before the cruise. She was very happy with it. I asked our room steward to make up the room while we were at breakfast. The package came with a large strawberry shortcake which we had sent down to Cagneys to have after dinner that night. Towel Cake with Monkey and rose petals My wife took my daughter for a Mother/Daughter massage after breakfast. She was very happy to get spa services. I was trying to find out if they had spa services for children before the trip and couldn't find out so I was pleasantly surprised. We all went to the meet and greet at Cagney's where we met the department heads and the cruise director. Thank you to Jim for arranging that and the gift swap. Next it was lunch at Food Republic We did the water/tube slide again Next was Bingo....where she split a $400 Jackpot Dinner that night was at Cagney's now I normally don't take pictures of my food.... ....but if you like Prime Rib.... A very good birthday on NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquishTheWhale Posted February 27, 2017 #36 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Enjoying the review and pictures! We are on the Escape in October for our honeymoon. Just wondering if you noticed what the queues were like for the ropes course during the first day? Looking at the dailies I was wondering if during sailaway is a good time to go as everyone else will be at the sailaway party or in the pool!

leeannf_wdw Posted February 27, 2017 #41 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Great review! Is it true the main pool area is adult only? My kids are 14 and 11. Interested to hear your advice on the pools. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted February 27, 2017 #42 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Great review! Is it true the main pool area is adult only? My kids are 14 and 11. Interested to hear your advice on the pools. Thank you! There are 2 different pools. One pool (between the yellow slide and the splash area) is for everyone. The other pool is adult-only during the day. The 3rd pool is for toddlers so I don't really count that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by memory, I believe that the time is after 5pm for everyone but I'm not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if you noticed what the queues were like for the ropes course during the first day? Looking at the dailies I was wondering if during sailaway is a good time to go as everyone else will be at the sailaway party or in the pool! so this is the ropes course line on the list day. I found the best time was when it first opens or when the ship is in port. How were the lines for the water slides after lunch? What time did you have your Cagney's dinner? We had dinner around 7 PM. From what I could tell 8 PM seemed to be the popular time. The lines were usually under 20 min when it was busy. With 4,000 passengers there is no "lunchtime", but yes it does slow down. Its quite before it closes at 6 PM. When the ship was in port there were no lines. It was down and right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still about 5 feet deep Adult pool. Its like 7 feet deep. There are always 10 kids in the hot tub....and 1 middle age guy to make it look inappropriate. Your 14 yo old won't have a problem at any pool. The 11 yo can use any hot tub. The only place they can't go is Spice H2O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
