Itinerary question

[Luvnlyfagain]

We are comparing two NCL cruises for next year and want to book tomorrow to get in on the 3-4th sail free promotion but I am looking for some input on an itinerary. We are trying to decide between the Getaway and the Escape next February. The Getaway is a Western itinerary that we are familiar with and have done before. The Escape is Eastern, including St. Thomas, British Tortola and Nassau. I have been to St. Thomas before and love it. My question is since there are only 3 port days on this itinerary, what should I know about British Tortola and Nassau before deciding? Some reviews of British Tortola are not very impressive. :(

Any input would be greatly appreciated!:) Thanks!

Tortola is beautiful and is a great port. We have been there and loved it. Although we like Nassau, it gets mixed reviews.

Not much on Tortola itself, but it is a great stop to get to The Baths or to Jost Van Dyke.

 

Beaches on the north side of the island are nice but not spectacular.
