BNBR Posted April 7, 2018 #729 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Enjoyed browsing your experience. We did the opposite just over a month ago. We loved Oasis and Harmony and decided to give Escape a try (in the Haven, no less). We did it backwards because Harmony is so good, it just made Escape kind of suck. We had an ok time but definitely a "won't do that again" feeling after and we were actually kind of happy to just get off that ship and go home by the end. Harmony is spectacular and it seems you really did it right. Next time you are in town, visit Billy's Stone Crab. If you want actual local seafood, just make sure it's in season, then go there and go nuts on their stone crab claws. Rustic Inn is a favorite spot, too, though it seems it didn't hit the mark with you this time. We usually get a crab sampler there just to be kind of silly.

We loved them both!!! Different but would sail either in a heartbeat. Glad you have a cruise home though. It's a beautiful place for sure. Love crab. Thanks for the recommendation!!

It's a beautiful place for sure. Love crab. Thanks for the recommendation!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have never had to fly anywhere to cruise, so to me this feels normal. As I'm getting older I think I recognize and appreciate being so close. We were off Harmony and home in 20 minutes to enjoy the day. The thing with Escape wasn't that we hated it, it was that it wasn't remotely as good as a ship like Harmony. It was way overcrowded, too. We love the Solarium, and as you pointed out, NCL doesn't have this... but this is why we booked Haven, not realizing that the Haven is a family circus with a total toddler takeover. With so many choices, our thoughts are more along the lines of "Why would we choose a ship like Escape over a ship like Harmony when we can sail either one?" Personally, I'd take an inside cabin on Harmony over a Haven suite on Escape, to us, it's just that much better! Thanks for coming down and enjoying our great city, love seeing the pictures of your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkkunk Posted April 8, 2018 #745 Share Posted April 8, 2018 L1211, I heard something about the water slides on Harmony. I can’t remember if you mentioned that the girls did the water slides or not. Do the women have to wear a t-shirt or rash guard when going down the slides? Thank you for everything! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeToGetNauti Posted April 9, 2018 #746 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thank you so much for sharing your entire cruise. It was amazing. Last year I was on Allure and I think we waited in that line for immigration 2 hours. It was brutal. Never again without that Mobile Passport app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinBarb63 Posted April 9, 2018 #747 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thank you for sharing your vacation! You did such a wonderful job I feel like I was there even though it has been snowing on and off at home ...boo! I am dreaming of our trip on HOTS September 2019. It seems so far away yet I know it will be here and gone in the blink of an eye. Again, thank you for sharing and for helping with my planning!

TravisP Posted April 10, 2018 #749 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Nice. I always try to get this picture but I often get stopped. That line up might be for the next yard sale table. I had no idea a fan was prohibited. It is not listed on the banned items list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 10, 2018 #750 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I had no idea a fan was prohibited. It is not listed on the banned items list. The person who packed it had the same surprise upon embarkation. Our Genie told us that she once saw a microwave on the table and we have seen strange items such as blenders. I honestly do not know if they are on the list but they were on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
