any word from anyone on the ship - just grounded and took out the dock in Routan?.....

Hi. My husband had a stroke/and has a portable Go-GO scooter - we rented a wheelchair to use on the excursions, just because I would rather a wheel chair to get in and out of vans/taxis and easier - even though his scooter comes apart for transport - plus I would rather if anything got taken - a rented wheelchair with insurance instaed of his scooter!! lol...Accessible by Sea - will have the chair in our cabin when we get there and we just leave it there, and they will get it when we dock. That is what they told me.....hoping to only use it on our two excusion days ..hope this helps. Have fun on your trip!!! (We have an accessible room - they are beautiful)

We have gotten Vibe on Escape/Getaway and Posh on Epic.

1. Get to the port at 8:30 - be first in line - when the doors open/make sure your sitting on the chairs!! get your group 1 ticket.

2. When they call for group 1 - RUN LIKE THE WIND TO THE GUEST SERVIES area - Escape- it is Headliners but Epic and Getaway it was Guest services

3. They had a deal when we were on., - passes were $99. deal was $199 with a cabana - but you got a $100. OBC .. so you had a private place to leave your stuff when you were up there...up to you to take it..either is available. Whoever is getting the passes - you need to be together -0 so if your buying 2 for the group/then the 2 need to be there. they give you wrist bands to wear.

4. So worth it on the Getaway - no chairs anywhere on the deck - and walking through those doors - it was like shangralah - two hottubs with covers on the top - padded lawn chairs - water and fruit served to you . your own bartenders - top shelf liquor and private bathrooms and mist showers. Such an amazing spot to see the ocean on sea days.....good luck

we are travelling home the next day - just going to a hotel the day of disembarkment...so I think we will wait as long as we possibly can to get off the ship........:) Thanks for the heads up. We normally cruise out of Miami..so will be ready for a bit of a wait. The nice thing is there is no VIBE on the Dawn/so we don't have to be so stressed bout getting there early/getting in group 1 :)..thanks for the headsup.

Hi. Wondering...has anyone NOT gone to Harvest Caye, and takent he water taxi to Placencia for the morning - Belize is a 7:00 to 1:00 port so not a lot of time....but I have a galpal who lives there, and owuld like to see her...is it something that we can do? I heard there are now watertaxi's at the dock that are availbale?...yes?

we tried to get into Mayan Chan for March 23 but they are sold out :(.....so if we get on the Trolley and head to YaYa's, we should have no problem? or should we book online? Also was looking at Barefoot beach club....

any of you getting Vibe Passes?

Shiffletts and the Fishers are ready to sail March 19.....really looking forward to another fantastic NCL cruise.

Hi everyone!! have been on the Escape and the Epic and were able to get passes for the VIP club. Wondering..does the Getaway have passes, and how/where do we go to get them?

Hi....we are travelling on the Escape, through the Casino at Sea .. we were awarded the interior room/upgraded to the balcony this time. Last year, we went Epic..and just took the interior room. We were responsible for port fees and taxes..I think it worked out to be about $300. per person we paid...it was fabulous...This year with the upgrade to the balcony and the port fees, it was about $650 It hink per person we paid for the upgrade and the port fees...we also get a players card and a drink card in our room when we get there..so we do not have to pay for drinks in the casino. This year, we have the drink package as we have the balcony...its a pretty good deal :) Have fun!!

Hi...we were on the Epic last year, with the Casino at Sea..and we had our own check in area/it was simple/easy/and very quick

Hey FunintheSun..we are on the Escape- April 9 as well - hope we have a good week!!!!! We have our trips all booked/and have booked out restaurants with the UDP...we are ready for sun..fun..and RUM!!

We used Eagle Shuttle Service......

Yes we were on Epic..sorry..

But I know from Experience last year/after about day 3...they didn't even look at the arm bands/and there were people up there, that didn't hve bands...the bartenders didn't mind. Just wondering....thanks for the response.

We were on Escape last year and got posh passes...after about the 3rd day...the guy didn't even look for our arm bands..just got used to us being there...IF our friends didnt get passes..could they just go up with us? I mean half the time after the first cruising day..there was no one up there hardly...because all the "fun" was on deck by the pool etc. Does anyone check the bands...

LOVELOVELOVE Bayshore - go on the Starlsland boat cruise..and see all the stars homes....we did that last year and it was soooooo fun. What an awesome place to spend the day.....before your cruise

So you do not go to Guest Services..you go to Headliners? to get your # for the Vibe?...

Wondering...we have 9:00 access but our friends are 10:00 as they didn't sign up the same time as we did....what's the chances they won't get them?.....

I have connected with NCL, and we can take as many bottles on as we want, with a corkage fee to be paid on each one...as we board. So my question..how do we take wine on a ship? in a separate bag, with luggage tags on the bag? How is the corkage fee paid?..is it just added on to our room?

:eek:

We have friends "Happy Cruisers" on this site, Tim and Gina ... on the ship with you....50th Birthday back to back cruise........Happy Cruising....

Im wondering....we are travelling on the EScape VIA Casino at Sea..and we have 9:30 boarding on our passes?...that may be why you couldn't get onboard before 12:30?...are the Vibe passes $100 for a couple? just wondering...we had POSH passes on the Epic and they were awesome.

Sailed the Epic in April 2015 and was able to purchase posh passes for my husband and myself.....does Escape offer these? or something like it?

We sail April 9..from Miami..so excited!!:cool:

WE cruised last year on the Epic and were successful in getting Posh Passes.....has anyone cruised on the Escape ... do they have passes...and if they do... what's the protocol? THanks!!

Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

I have booked the Epic - April 12....and no entertainment is able to be booked yet. I did buy the UDP....and kept the first night open just in case :)

Has anyone heard anything yet about the Epic entertainment after April 1?

I have a friend on the Allure this week!!!
