  1. One of the main reason I like Norwegian more than other cruise lines is it has real poker tables and dealers. On the Getaway though, a ship of 4000+ they only had one table, while the epic had two. Does anyone know if they will have more than 1 table on the Escape?

  2. Hmmm, I don't see that on the list of RCCL excursions. The only thing I see is the "Save a Sea Turtle" experience which I would think is seasonal. Doesn't look like there is any snorkeling involve.

     

    The only place in the area, that you are "almost" guaranteed to see turtles is in Akumal (Mainland). And that's not a sanctuary, it's just a beach/cove where there is a lot of turtle grass and there tends to be a lot of turtles there. They are in the wild and not "cared for or caged" so to speak.

     

    Yes, that's what I saw as well. That is the excursion I meant.

  3. Thanks! yeah, I really want to go to the turtle cove and do some snorkel. However, It has always been a dream of mine to see Tulum. I guess I have some thinking to do. I would also like to see Chitzen, but that seems to be fading behind at this time.

  4. I was on the Pearl back in December and I wanted to review it when I got back, however, I was a little disappointed. I wanted to wait until I was able to let it all absorb a bit. Overall, I did have a good time, the itinerary was great, the ship was clean. There were just a few things that I didn't think were all that great. I am going to go from the last day of the cruise and back.

     

    1. Having breakfast in the summer palace last day of cruise, no water refills, no coffee refills. Waited over 10 minutes since I've seen my waitress. the dining room was not busy at all and I was there alone. The food this morning was some of the worst ever. Cold pancakes, stale biscuits.

     

    2. My cabin steward was great, however, sometimes he would forget to leave my daily. I like reviewing the daily before bed.

     

    3. This cruise had a lot of football games being showing in the atrium. very popular, no chairs left if you didn't get there at least 15 minutes early. Not once did the staff prepare for this. Once settled in, the atrium had 1 bartender for the entire place. You couldn't leave your seat or someone would immediately take it and it was impossible to get a drink.

     

    4. The pool area was dead almost the entire cruise. granted the first few days the weather was awful, but after that there was only a couple of activities on the pool deck.

     

    5. The staff had a different answer for the same question depending on who you asked. One night, I wanted to order tepenyaki and take it to go, the first person I asked said I could, then the second when I came back later said I could not.

     

    6. The hotel director told me he was going to invite me to a special event and never did. After we talked for over a half hour during the lat. party.

     

    Overall, it was a fine cruise. Those were just some of the things I thought could have really been better.
