Well, our ship leaves at 3. What do I do?

I am not so much worried about getting to Virgin Gorda, however, I am worried about a ride to and from the baths. Is that a worry of anyone else?

Hi All. Please help with these questions.

1. Hours?

2. How much is a daily spa pass?

3. What is a thermal pass? The sell it online for $199.

Thanks

Expect about $50. I wouldn't leave Miami any later than 9. You never know about I95. Expect about $75 if you cab.

With the open booking option, does one still get OBC? The website does not give a lot of detail on the benefits.

Good day all!

Went on the Escape Inaugural. A little late posting, but here is the shortened review. Overall, a great ship! Enjoyed the festivities and the parties. Guy Harvey is a great addition to Norwegian!

The Norwegian Escape is Norwegian's newest and biggest ship. With over 20 different dining areas, a giant casino, five water slides and the first ever 'Margaritaville' at sea.

Overall, I think the Escape is a great ship. Well laid out and well thought out for both the passenger and the cruise line. You will find your time on the ship spent mostly on decks 6, 7 and 8, where most all the activities are.

The cabins are good size and I was surprised to find the balconies larger than the other "Breakaway" class ships.

Quick Ratings -

Food - I was only able to eat in the Buffett and at Osheehan's, however, I found a good selection in the Garden Cafe Buffett and Osheehan's had a larger menu than it does on the Epic. The food was well prepared and piping hot, which was nice, considering on the Epic it was often luke warm.

Bars/lounges - I guess the night club activities have moved up to Spice H2O on deck 16. I have mixed feelings about this, considering it is away from EVERYTHING else on the ship during late night, but maybe it will be fun. However, what will Norwegian do for a night club when it is raining or very windy? The skyline bar in the casino doesn't have a great nightclub feel even though I know that is what they will do.

Staff - I recognized a lot of staff from other ships I have been on and many recognized me! I was really impressed and happy with all the crew.

Activities - Slides, ropes course, basketball, bowling at Osheehans. Its fun! Take part! Walk the plank!!

Tips -

1. Bring your sneakers and a pair of socks for the ropes course. Give yourself about an hour to do the course.

2. Reservations, reservations and more reservations. Make sure you make reservations for dinner. I found a lot of the specialty dining venues were full.

Does anybody have any questions they need answered

Wow! I was able to tour this ship on Thursday. Absolutely beautiful and stunning. I would sail this ship in a second! Beautiful rooms and decor, great private pool and pool area. Very well done.

How is the snorkeling at Talum?

Why should I go?

Doing a cruise next month out of NYC and doing my flight now. The cruise leaves out of brooklyn. What time do the transfers start and end out of Newark, does anyone know?

No, it doesnt.

It depends on the cruise and on the competence of your Travel Agent. The consultants are not supposed to talk to guests with travel agents. A lot of them don't want to do service anyway. My first cruise, I booked with an agent and she got me about 20 off per person (my cruise was only 499) anyway, but she added a bottle of wine, which was a nice touch when we got to the room. I will admit she wasn't the most helpful after the booking, but I didn't have any pressing needs. My second cruise I booked with Holland America directly, awful. Too much holding, too much transferring the call and too much of the rep not knowing the simplest of questions. (price of transfers through the line, price of hotel, ect...

Why arent there any cruises posted. I heard something about making the 12 day cruises longer, but now I dont see anything at all.

At this point, I would say Carnival's food is just as good, if not better than Norwegian's

It's not about like or dislike. Its about overall quality and preparation. Obviously the taste is subjective.

Hi all. Thinking of doing a Getaway cruise in December. What are your opinions on the food? I have heard mixed reviews. I have always enjoyed Norwegians food, The EPIC had fantastic food and the Pearl had great lunch and dinner, breakfast was just OK.

I just booked one of these rooms and was hoping to see a preview? Please let me know

Great pictures, we also were on the Liberty last week. 12 family members. Had a wonderful trip and no real complaints about anything. Well, except for debarkation, total pain in the rear end.

I agree completely~!

Good day! Does anyone have any pictures of the Cat I accessible cabins on deck 2?

Great thread. Doing the Majesty Nov. 6 on the Majesty!

Good day! Has anyone traveled the Majesty lately? Are there any dedicated thread reviews on this forum? The search function didn't offer many results. How is the Majesty looking these days?

Are you taking advantage of the one day sale this saturday? With the drink package, it seems like a really great promo!

thank you!

The confirmation says Manhattan or Brooklyn. How do I find out specifically where I am leaving out of?
