Thank you for the great live review of the Encore. We have not sailed on the Encore and now I am more intrigued. She looks like a beautiful ship! Again, many thanks!

Very cool! appetizers and beer look awesome! I hope you had a great time. Cheers!

sounds like a perfect recipe for a gorgeous day. Enjoy!

My experience on The Escape in Feb was the opposite. Strip steak was cooked to my preferred temp and I asked for the sauce on the side, which I didn’t taste because the steak was seasoned perfectly with just salt and pepper. maybe ask for the gravy/sauce on the side next time.

Incredible examples of groce and rude behavior, but my opinion is that this behavior is limited to a small number of passengers (from my observations and cruising on multiple lines). I tend to cruise in the off season, stay in areas of the ship that are less crowded (spa, the haven), dine when most aren’t. Enjoy your cruising

Completely agree

Awesome review! We are sailing on the Star end of May for Iceland & Norway (no Greenland ). Pics of the icebergs were amazing. And y’all looked so cold, even in July. I’m so glad I bought a new puffy, warm coat and mittens Have fun on your next adventure

Thought I saw under classic entree’s a grilled NY strip steak. Maybe I was mistaken?

Nice! Enjoy

Wow! I haven’t seen this offered on prior cruises. Must be popular after a late night of cocktails 🍸

Hello. We are considering a Mediterranean cruise on the Breakaway (our first time on that ship) and I wonder about the opportunity cost to book a Haven suite or a balcony suite on this ship in an aft cabin. It will be port intensive, and we will need time to relax at the end of the day. We are Platinum level and that will get us some extra perks (laundry, specialty dining). Thoughts? Thank you!

Hello. Many times we have cruised on the Escape and loved each cruise. I did a live review in November 2023 that you might find interesting Live on the Escape Nov 25-Dec 2

Thank you!

Hello. We are sailing on the Star in May and got thermal suite pass for the entire trip. I read there is a lap pool in the thermal suite. Do you know the length of the pool? Any other tips about the thermal suite on the Star would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Wow! We are sailing on thr Star at the end of May. Do you know if her technical woes improved after the 2022 renovations?

Wow! That sounds incredible and you have got me curious about Trieste.

Sounds like my kind of travel. Thank you for this suggestion

This post is perfect timing. We just booked an NCL cruise that embarks from Rome and disembarks in Trieste. This is great info on getting into Venice. We are considering an extra night or two in Venice and take the train to Rome for our flight home (flight cost for us will be less expensive traveling to/from Rome). Anyone take the train to Rome from Venice? Any recommendations? Thank you!

That looks classy. On the Jade there are portions of the promenade deck that are wide enough to allow small table and chairs.

Hello. We upgraded to the Premium Plus package in January on our first day of the cruise, and we had to upgrade both of us, not just one person.

Completely agree. We love the 66 Prosecco, we bought a bottle to bring home. We are going on a cruise in 10 days on The Escape, and I’m going to buy 2 bottles to bring home.

Hello. It was La Boutique. It’s located in the shopping area at the cruise terminal Tortola, BVI. Go inside and have a look. I always seem to find something I love, including Haviana slippers. 🩴 Have fun!

Hello. Here is a pic of the wine list from our Jan 2024 cruise on The Jade. It is the same wine list we had on the Escape in Nov 2023. The premium wines are part of the unlimited open bar, which means the wines are $15/glass or less. It also includes the Premium Plus wines, which are > $15/glass In reference to a “regular beverage package,” I believe this is the Premium wines, and it is the unlimited open bar/free at sea package In regards to spirits, you can look here for a list of spirits https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/790164-BEV_Package_Flyer_UOBP_PPBP Update_V7_no_crops.pdf

Most welcome. I’m sure you’re counting the days. Enjoy your cruise!

Enjoy your cruise! February and March are gorgeous months to cruise from Florida.
