Wonderful - Thanks everyone 🙂 -
Onda with the Speciality Dining Package
BenDover replied to BenDover's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I just watched a video where they stated you can order an appetizer OR pizza and a Pasta OR Secondi (but not both). Can someone confirm? -
If you are dining at Onda on the speciality dining package, what is included? Specifically, can you get a Pasta Dish, like spaghetti, AND an entree (secondi)?

I was on Escape last month, and like the OP I had the Premium Plus package primarily for wine. I had Silverado Cabernet, Veuve Clicquot (only available at Le Bistro) and a wonderful Brunello. I had Aqua Pana with every meal (in addition to the wine of course) In addition, I finished every evening with a Hennessy XO. All included in the package.

Epic or Escape - First time with Norwegian
BenDover replied to Neonch's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I am a converted RCI cruiser and now do NCL exclusively. Epic was my first NCL cruise, however Escape is a much better ship. -
Just got upgraded from a studio to a family ocean view with a minimum plus $10 bid 😎
-
Marquise au Chocolat with a glass of port 😋
-
Been on both ships and Escape is a much better ship.

no excursions available? epic july 2024?
BenDover replied to amandaaa04's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You’re too far out. I have an Alaska Cruise in July 2024 and I also only see one excursion. More will pop up as we get closer. -
No comparison - Escape! There’s a reason they never built a other ship like Epic
-
If a wine is available, you should be able to get it at Cellars or any dining room. If you have any problem, what so ever, just go to Cellars and tell them where you are eating that night and what wines you want and they will make sure you have it.

Three weeks ago on Escape

I was on Escape three weeks ago and while certainly some top shelf liquors have disappeared, I did not see any reduction in number or quality of wines offered.

NCL ESCAPE - FEBRUARY 11-18 - LIVE REVIEW
BenDover replied to devinelaw's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
If you like wine at all, make sure you go to Cellars and meet Dragisha, the Cellar Master. You will not find anybody on land or at sea that knows more about wine then he does. Also, if you have a chance to attend some of the wine classes - the best at sea! Tell him Michael sent you and you will get the best wine service of your life 😎 -
My gripe was that NCL sent me at least 3 emails before the cruise making me watch that stupid safety video - only to get on board and find out we STILL have to do the in person drill 😡

You have to have a Thermal Suite Pass. The door to the hallway is locked and they have to let you in.

They do have a Starbucks on deck 6 in the Atrium. Do not know if they take gift cards. I had the premium PLUS beverage package and the Starbucks drinks were covered under the package.

Escape Entertainment Reservations Question
BenDover replied to cruiseagona's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I was just off of Escape last week. In all honesty, the only shows you need to worry about are the Comedy shows at Headliners Comedy Club (which is limited to 2 reservations per person). You do not need to rush at all to make reservations for any show in the Escape Theater - but you do want to make reservations to avoid the standby line. -
A couple of changes I noticed on Breakaway last week
BenDover replied to Travelicious's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
That certainly has not been my experience. Last week on Escape at Cagney’s I could not eat half of my steak and most of my 7-layer Cake. They boxed it up without me even asking. Throughout the cruise I saw a lot of people taking leftovers from the restaurants.
