NCL Escape Family Review March 17th

[Lisalk12]

Enjoyed your family trip!
 
I have done both NCL and RCL. NCL does flexible seating and disembarkation better. I also prefer NC L kids clubs- at the toddler and 4-6 level my kids have been in.  RCL has a better environment and music on board (in my opinion). Food is pretty much the same and both have similar shows. Though NC L has a better Buffett and longer hours if you like to eat late. RCL has late food too, but it's more crowded and limited choices as it is a snack area, not the full buffet.  If you sail RcL enough (Diamond) you will get free drinks during happy hour which I think is the best benefit, as this lounge also has a fancy touch coffee machine that my caffeine obsessed husband find as the number one reason to sail RCL.  We interchange both due to location and price.
 
Congrats on the first toddler cruise! This was the most difficult age for me (twins) so if you can sail with a 2ish year old everything else will be easy!

Thank you for the tips! Sailing with a toddler can be fun..just different than in the past. But we created great memories.

Can you explain about the certificate your husband received from the casino to use his amount played credited towards  another cruise. I play in the casino and am interested in about this  thanks

They gave my husband a card to call. When we called the number they said he was eligible for a discount according to his play on the ship. He played a mixture of slots and table games.

The offer ended up being a balcony for two on most sailings.

Ok thank you,  I understand now.  I guess its  the casino at seas program was the number. I do book with them and have a wonderful guy in the corporate office I use. He gets me the best prices and lets me know my comp based on my play.  If you want his number you can email me at tumblew467@aol.com

Just wondering how much one has to "donate" in order to be eligible for a balcony cabin... 🙂

[emoji2368] my husband said “no comment”. I’m scared to even think what it might of been. I do know that we heard of others that were ahead and winning but we just seemed to lose every time we went.

For my comped balconies or minisuites, I'll just say it's less than I spend during 3 days in Vegas. 

The cruise for a week is a lot more fun😎
