missdixie Posted August 31, 2015 #3626 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Soon the green European landscape will be one endless grey wave, Escape, my fave.. Eventually turning into turquoise water, green palms and Caribbean sunlight, oh so bright.. oh Escape, oh Escape! Let's go! Haha, mondays..! :D :D Great picture of the Escape. And the landscape. Windmills in the distance are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1963 Posted August 31, 2015 #3627 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I posted this in the other thread, but since y'all asked... I really want to know more info about the Private Room at Taste. Where is it, what does it look like, is the menu the same as the regular Taste restaurant? And speaking of food, I will be on the Escape with my grandmother on Mother's Day 2016; she wants lobster. I'd love to know where I can get it, and if it's not complimentary, how much will it be? For those of you going on the regular 7-Day Eastern Caribbean, I realize that Nassau is sort of an abbreviated day. Is it worth it to go to Atlantis or should we focus on Blue Lagoon? Oh I just can't wait until all the reviews start to pour in! Thanks so much to anyone willing to spend the time to give us info! The only thing I know to tell you from your inquiries is that the Blue Lagoon is a very nice facility if you want to do dolphin or sea lion encounters. I did the sea lion encounter with my family and it was UNFORGETTABLY WONDERFUL!! If you are wanting to beach it, their beach is very small but has water toys if you have kids. I've never been to Atlantis but have done a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and it seems people either love or hate it. If you do the beach excursion, I have heard it is A LOT A LOT of walking. If you want to see the entire grounds, you have to pay to get into the different areas. It's not a general admission place. I've never been on NCL and know absolutely nothing about the food. Hope this helps? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahtheRed Posted August 31, 2015 #3628 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I really want to know more info about the Private Room at Taste.

I'd love to know where I can get it, and if it's not complimentary, how much will it be? This is something we probably won't be able to answer until the first passengers get off. It *probably* has the same menu, but just lets the guests have a more private dining affair. At least on the Epic, Taste was always pretty busy and there was lots of traffic. I can see folks wanting to have a quieter, more intimate dinner setting like that. The renderings on the website make it look like just a smaller room with the same decor as the MDR, perhaps slightly more dressed up. As far as lobster goes, I know Cagney's has lobster tail (or has, in the past, had it), and probably Bayamo will have it. But realistically, until we get on and have some pictures of menus to dissect, it's hard to say :P There's a third MDR, Savor, that may offer it, but at this point it's strictly guessing. For those of you going on the regular 7-Day Eastern Caribbean, I realize that Nassau is sort of an abbreviated day. Is it worth it to go to Atlantis or should we focus on Blue Lagoon? We've been to Nassau, but generally prefer to stay on the boat. We've heard that Atlantis is fun, but that unless you have a good solid day to spend there, it can feel a little lackluster. I don't know much about the BlueLagoon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted August 31, 2015 #3629 Share Posted August 31, 2015 There's a third MDR, Savor, that may offer it, but at this point it's strictly guessing. The Breakaway and Getaway both that've the third dining room, which is really just Taste being split into two. They have the same menu and I don't see any reason why the Escape will be and different.

DW and I saw that on the Escape page and were curious about it since we've only had experience with the Epic and the Sun. That being the case, I'd say the chances are low that there's going to be lobster in Savor then. Given the choices on Escape though, I don't think any hunger will be left unsated :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWatcher65 Posted August 31, 2015 #3631 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) You can find me on my balcony or at the spa instead. Having professionally used hypnosis and guided imagery to help people with stress management, this kind of stage entertainment hypnosis is about as cheesy as the sexy legs contest poolside..... From a facebook post, this is just for the transatlantic voyage. Edited August 31, 2015 by SeaWatcher65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted August 31, 2015 #3632 Share Posted August 31, 2015 As far as lobster cagney's now has a 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lb whole Maine lobster now. Looked great but the worst I ever ate. They all come onboard frozen and at least the one I had was mush. Sent from my iPhone - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledogsrcute Posted August 31, 2015 #3634 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Definitely call them back if you have the UDP. When I booked ours online it showed a price of $35.39 and I paid $106.17 for 3 even though I knew it was wrong (wanted a particular day and time and didn't want to lose it). I called the next morning and it took a supervisor to confirm that it is supposed to be $26.54 per person with the UDP (25% discount). She fixed it and issued me a credit. For some reason, the supervisor was the only one who could see the correct price of $26.54 at that time. It wasn't until a day or two later that I could see it when I logged into my account. Thank you all for your help! I called NCL back and after being on hold for 30 minutes they confirmed it should be 25% off reg price. It did take a Supervisor to get it straightened out.

My understanding of the private room is that it is not a dining option that you can choose, but that it is a space for special events like the Chef's table, or for private parties who can rent it out for dining events.

Thank you, Freestyle, for the photo. Going back to the big screen tv/movie screen discussion, it looks like two are located on the wall above the stage by the main pool? I checked images of the Aways and they just have paint swirls located there. It would appear to support the discussion of there being a place for kids to watch movies other than the adults-only Spice H2O. Anyone else seeing this?

It appears they would have the capability of playing movies on the main pool deck. On the Breakaway/Getaway that pool was for adults and the kids pool was on the other side of the bars (closer to the waterslides). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneergirl Posted September 1, 2015 #3650 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have been searching for the last hour and can't find which dock Escape will use in St. Thomas. Anybody know for sure? I am booking an independent snorkel excursion that leaves from Havensight, so we could walk if Escape docks there. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
