Moderno's is definitely not a loss. Had it on the Jewel, and between the Jewel and the Escape, including all the restayrants I've been on NCL, that was by far the worst. In fact, the only bad one.

I disagree. I was in the escape in March and thought moderno was tasty. Everything I had was amazing. Especially the pineapple. Some people don’t like skewers of meat flittering about. I can also see where the way they do sides can be a negative.

Well my room is 15160. Right next to the lounge last room on the deck before the lounge.

I got 15160 category ma. If you look at the plans it is perfect if you want to be close to the lounge and elevators.

I have my cruise booked for March 2019 on this ship. I got a mini suite right next to the observation lounge. Quick place to grab a drink and go back to my balcony. Can’t wait.

This feels like a step down from a personality such as pit bull. Doesn’t really scream fun and excitement.

Margaritaville is not complementary. Not expensive though and the nachos and burgers are worth it. I cruised on the escape and I never felt smoke was an issue in the atrium. Unlike other cruise lines ncl has something called 678 oceanplace instead of a promenade. There are designated places to smoke on the waterfront and in the pool area. It is not a free for all with the smoking. Plus you can pretty much only smoke in the casino other than the designated areas. Some people feel the smoke from the casino in 678 is an issue but I bet it varies by cruise. Like I said smoke wasn’t a problem on the escape cruise I was on.

From what plans I saw it was not going to have a grotto. In its place was a place you could sit and cool off and walk through water. Just not as cool as the grotto. Not 100 on that but thought I saw it somewhere.

I am booked way out in 19 last week of march. Talk about a wait.

I am booked on a Caribbean sailing in march 2019. I got a mini suite right by the observation lounge. I figure that would be convenient for lounging and drinking bushwhackers without having to go very far. The only thing that would make it better is if they served some sort of food there.

I would eat at that hot dang stand.

I saw a review about the large balconies on deck 8. They are large but everyone above you can view most of your balcony. That's seven decks of people that can give you the fish bowl treatment. Other than that they look great and after staying on the escape I wouldn't mind a room on deck 8.

Andre was awesome when we sailed the week of 3/25. We loved our cruise and it looks like you did as well.

I was just on the escape a couple weeks ago. They let you take food from the buffet wherever you like pretty much.

Just want to add that in Ohio all casinos are smokeless and that doesn't deter anyone from gambling.
