Boarding the Escape on Saturday, already knew about no Captain, now no layered shots or Fireball, wife is not happy. Sick of all the games these cruise lines play, not just NCL, all of them.

Bacardi Spice or Kraken

Is Captain Morgan available on the Escape? Was on the Getaway in late August 2022 and there was no Captain available at any bar, it was for sale in the onboard shop. We are cruising the Escape after Thanksgiving and are curious if Captain is available. If we will make due (1st world problems) with Kraken and Bacardi Spiced Rum. Also, will be frequenting the District Brew House. Thanks in advance.

Nope, sorry. Some agreement Norwegian has with the government of Belize, who helped fund the port.

Where did you go to pre purchase the passes? Purchased pre-cruise online. Think they showed up under the Entertainment category.

Just off the Getaway on 8/27 in Port Canaveral, the Vibe passes were still separate keys (and wristbands) that were in our stateroom at embarkation. Vibe was mostly empty the entire trip. There is very little shade available, and they only put the umbrellas up when in port. Bartenders were very attentive. Overall good experience, but probably wouldn't purchase again.

Pool was human soup with the Symphony & Mariner at the end of May.

With the recent price increase in the cruise planner for the Deluxe Beverage Package, I think it is inevitable. The bean counters for Royal are not going to continue to give away (give or take) 4k + drink vouchers on a typical Oasis class cruise to Diamond, Diamond + and Pinnacle C & A members. Not sure what Royal’s solution will be, my guess is there will be a lot of unhappy high level C & A members. I, also, believe that the price of individual drinks will be raised by at least $1 each in the very near future.
