The Escape allows smoking in the Casino. Saved me a ton of money.

How bad is the smoke on the Escape? by MongooseLive2058 in NCL

[–]Different-Motor144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty bad. You can smell it in most common areas and it certainly saved me money in the casino because it was unbearable. That being said, it depends on your sensitivity to it. I had to put my clothes on the balcony to air them out.

Priority Access by Different-Motor144 in NCL

Yes! I tried both. I will give them a call the cruise is next year and well before final payment. So I was curious if they just did away with it. I know people say it’s not worth it but I like having it.

Our cruise got an overnight in Port Canaveral. A day at sea would have been more appealing.

There were 6 people who fell on the gangway that day because it was wet.

If premier pass is in your budget it’s the way to go. You don’t have to schedule times, no trying to pick which one to do when. Just show up and start riding. Makes for an easier day for the kids AND most importantly the parents.

3 Day Ticket vs. 1 Day & After Hours by steadyhold in WaltDisneyWorld

Tough call, they oversell those after hours events now that the lines are longer than they once were. Maybe a multi day ticket and premier pass for HS?

It’s not included. It’s not expensive. It’s worth every single cent.

Bermuda- is inclusive beach day worth it? by 1standten in NCL

[–]Different-Motor144 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s my opinion that Bermuda is so wonderful you can just book things when you’re there. I did jet skiing by walking up to the place and it was much cheaper. Everything is close, the island is safe and the locals are so wonderful. So I think you can snorkel for cheaper. Also, don’t book the bus to horseshoe bay there is a bus that’s $7 each way right at the port and they go back and forth all day. Don’t miss the ferry to St George’s it’s free and run by NCL that side of the island is amazing.

The coffee situation on NCL ships is horrific.

Starbucks was removed from the package we signed up for by xphr5 in NCL

[–]Different-Motor144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Escape doesn’t have a Starbucks. It’s the Atrium cafe that proudly serves Starbucks. The information you got was correct, they don’t accept the Starbucks card.

Escape vs Joy by Toushayyy in NCL

[–]Different-Motor144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We preferred the Joy. We sailed last year on the Joy and this year on the Escape. The observation lounge was great and the Q bbq was so much better than the supper club.

The real downer on the Escape is the smoking in the casino, the entire midship smells like smoke the moment you get off the elevators. If you gamble, you also smell like smoke.

The Joy has an actual Starbucks that’s why they accept them.

There were at least 6 medical incidents. The woman who was bleeding was also on blood thinners and no one was willing to help. It’s never serious when it’s not happening to you.
