UFLaw Posted April 20, 2017 Author #127 Share Posted April 20, 2017 After my usual 6 hours of rest suddenly remembered had the behind the scenes tour. Had to kick the kids out of bed and tell my BIL he was stuck going too. We met in the Supper Club and after a great history lesson about NCL (which was actually really interesting especially the ship progression) and also all the logo changes. We got to see some really amazing things. Everything is so well run, cleanliness is evident everywhere, and the crew even behind the curtain was friendly. Everyone smiled and said hello. Pastry area Bakery none of the bread is frozen all is fresh made each day. (French bread machine) Ice sculpture ice. The freezer was kept at -25 Celsius. The I-95 corridor that runs the length of the ship. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted April 20, 2017 #128 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thank you so much for your review! Cannot wait to do the Behind the Scenes Tour. What day was it held? I sail in July and love your pictures! Thanks! For the gym it opens at 6h00 and you will be ok if u don't show too late. They have rowing I remember but not 100% sure.They have a lot of threadmills and ellipticals on the right. Thanks so much! I appreciate your letting me know. The Escape looks like they have more treadmills than the Getaway, hope I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFLaw Posted April 20, 2017 Author #130 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The behind the scenes tour is held on a couple different days. Platinum members get it for free. Otherwise you need to book it at the shore excursions desk. Around $80 each. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js Posted April 21, 2017 #132 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Sorry I've just realized that on whattsapp I got this pic [emoji12] Wow. This looks like at least double or triple the size of Getaway and Breakaway. They had just one row and maybe 20 total. Ghis looks great! Thanks!!

quaker77 Posted April 21, 2017 #136 Share Posted April 21, 2017 At 11 it's the glow party. Last night and chance to celebrate at H2o. Pics took last thursday and don't miss the start when Andre interacts with the screen. Really nice and it cranks the dancers to the upper level.

UFLaw Posted April 21, 2017 Author #139 Share Posted April 21, 2017 We got an invitation to enjoy the District Brew House. Some of the officers joined us. Having so many beers to chose from is amazing. And I have to give another shout out to Thedougout!!! Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFLaw Posted April 21, 2017 Author #142 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Went to Tepanyaki last night with the family and had an amazing time. Wesley rocked it for us. Great chef! Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFLaw Posted April 21, 2017 Author #143 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Saw the comedy show last night and Frank Townsend. He was fantastic and had the adults and the kids cracking up. After that we decided the GLOW party was next on the itinerary!!!! And I guess a lot of people are reading my posts because they ran out of Red Bull!!! WHAT!?!?? Pack your neon shirts guys!

UFLaw Posted April 21, 2017 Author #146 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Today was a menagerie of things to do. The guys had a dudes day and went to Junkanoo Beach. The teenagers (16&17) went shopping with a friend and his parents. The young girls and moms stayed aboard the ship for the day. Apparently Bahamian dogs like to drink punch. Did the obligatory stop at Señor Frogs. Then walking along the waterfront found this amazing guy making conch salad. Quick recommendation, if you find a place anywhere in the Caribbean that the locals are eating at go there! Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvcruzing Posted April 21, 2017 #147 Share Posted April 21, 2017 How was Junkanoo Beach? Would you recommend it for a cheap beach day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFLaw Posted April 21, 2017 Author #148 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Junkanoo is definitely a cheap place to hang out. Beach loungers are $5-10 each. However I will say there were some partiers there. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFLaw Posted April 22, 2017 Author #149 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The constant care and attention to detail on the Escape is evident everywhere. You see staff always maintaining the ship and they are proud of it. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFLaw Posted April 22, 2017 Author #150 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Our final night on the ship was great. I managed to check off my final bar and wore the right shirt!!! Everyone was pretty tired except the older teenagers who stayed out till 1 am. We all sat down to a delicious breakfast from Savor. It's a nice break from the crowds and hectic ship. We were lucky enough to run into the best Cruise Director on the seas Andre!!! Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
