I'm taking NCL Escape Sept 16. It's my first time on NCL. I'm staying in one of the studios. Have any of you stayed in them? What's it like? Are the showers equipped with shampoo and soap? What do you do for alarm clock? Do you recommend getting an internet package? Can you buy soda ala carte? I don't think I'd drink enough to make a package worthwhile. All my excursions I booked are through NCL. I'm nervous about the one in Halifax concluding half hour before the ship is to leave. Will this be okay? Do you have to reserve times for dining or can you go anywhere? Is there any place to get a slice of pizza? Have any of you taken a transfer from the airport to pier via NCL? I'm nervous about not finding where to go. Is it easy to figure out?
I’ve sailed the epic studios but due to go on escape in a couple of weeks.
Most of your questions have already been answered.
I never get internet package as I use this as time to cut off from the world. I can access emails in port and most of the time there are only a couple of sea days. I find the packages expensive. It really depends what you need them for.
I’ve never made reservations for restaurants. As a solo I’ve nearly always been able to walk up and dine but I like dining early. I always book the shows I want.
Pizza is in the buffet all day until about 11.30...
I’ve used ncl transfers before. They are fine but I did it as part of fly cruise. I do like making my own way too, but for ease a ncl transfer works. There will be someone with an ncl sign at arrivals showing you where to go. You will be fine.

Barcelona is very easy. You can even catch a bus from bottom of la ramblas to port if needed!!

The sports bar may have them if they have a similar menu to o Sheehan’s?

Yes you can go onto the deck (deck 7 I believe) it just doesn’t go all the way round the aft. One side is jogging track the other side you can play deck games.

I would go to buffet for your morning cuppa... Norwegian doesn’t really understand hot tea! this is why I book studio on the newer ships... the lounge has hot tea whenever it is needed. [emoji846]

Our cruise says arrives 8am on the ncl site but others say disembark 8am so I’m going for the 6am!!

If connecting rooms are essential and you want the upgrade maybe rebook??

To be honest I think that’s all I need.. I just need the ability to check email periodically on 1 seaday mainly...

You get kettles on some p and o ships i believe... a Brit loves a kettle. I aim to go in studios on ncl so I’m not far from tea and coffee in the lounge. They have coffee makers on the star.. but I think that’s only balcony and above?? I would just grab a tea from osheehans or the buffet... or get breakfast room service.

Can you buy internet per day or do you have to buy the whole week for unlimited? I’m thinking I only need it for 3 days... trying to weigh up a mini package over a full package...

Does anyone recommend lanyards/wrist badge holders? If so, do the key cards already have holes in them?
No hole but guest services can punch a hole if desired. I’ve never needed a lanyard but everyone has their own preference.

Let’s hope children (and adults) listen to them... all children should be attended by any means.

I guess if your cruise is no longer on sale it’s full and if it’s selling with high discounts e.g some of the Caribbean ones at present given hurricane season it’s not so full!

As you can see the typical response is that we all have differing opinions. Look at the features of both and make your mind up on what you want to get out of your cruise.

From friends who have cruised over the summer quite a few sailings this summer in the end have been full...

In terms of luggage I can’t remember there been a set time just to leave it outside as you go to bed. They patrol the corridors all night. There are usually disabled seats in the theatre if you need those? Ask once onboard.

I prefer doing a shared van on the way into the city (after a long transatlantic flight!) but don’t mind public transit on way back. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

There will be more shows with reservations when you board e.g comedy or magicians, Music acts etc. Howl at the moon is non-reservable.

Flowers and room bar set up I think are done pre cruise. Flowers cannot be done onboard.
