NCL Escape Review 1/2/16-1/9/16 with Pictures

Great Review! Can't wait for my turn on March 5th!!

 

Quick question: where did you pick up the car from hertz? I heard you could pick it up close to port But couldn't seem to get the reservation so I just booked it at the airport. Sure Hope they HOLD my reservation. :p

 

We will head over to Ft Myers area to look at homes. Done with this snow!!

 

Glad you and your family had a great time and thanks for the tip on Emerald Beach!

Great review! Very helpful!

 

I had to laugh at the entertainment note about the "pirates"! They must have seen our group on the Star last year and copied, LOL! There were 20 or more of our group dressed as Pirates!

Sorry if that's so huge, I don't know how to make it smaller.

 

Anyway, thank you, great review! Happy Sailing!

We may have to see if we can fit it into are cruise schedule

We went straight from the pier to JVD. I hope it is available because it was outstanding.

The only thing showing for Tortola is to the Baths on NCL web.

Did you pre-book or when you got on The Escape!

Did anyone dress up for the 80s party? Also, dos you only eat in Manhattan or did you try Taste or Savor? I was wondering if the service was any faster at the smaller venues.

 

Never tried Taste or Savor. Sorry.

It's Hertz Downtown Miami. But I can't recommend it. Really bad.

We booked online at NCL. Something is up, because others have said it's not available... Maybe call?

Great review! Can you comment more about your sons experiences? I'm in my late twenties and will be doing this cruise as a solo in August.

This was their favorite cruise of 11 they have been on. They had no trouble meeting people and hanging out with them the entire cruise. They loved the music and the deck parties. Also enjoyed the Skyline Bar which is the dance club.

Thanks Dave!

 

I was able to google NCL excursions to JVD and it showed up! Funny my ncl only shows 1' while the other site show many more!

 

Reviews of JVD on the Rebel Yell are very good.

Awesome review. Is Food Republic open for lunch as well??

I believe it is.

[helen haywood]

I assume the Crepes were in the buffet? Was that every night or a special night? And if it was a special night, was it mentioned in the dailies?

The crepes were in the buffet all the way in the back, every night.;)

Do you know if they have video poker at the Skyline bar? Is it smoking or non? Enjoyed your review!!

[Clarea]

I'm pretty sure they had video gambling, and it is non-smoking.
