TonyFred Posted October 12, 2017 #32 Share Posted October 12, 2017 See ya onboard! Folks this has to have been one of the most active roll calls ever. Never a day that we werent all counting down to October 14! Yeeha! Bugsy, I am glad you picked the Escape for your first NCL review. She is a marvelous vessel! I have been so looking forward to walking back across that gangway! It will feel like home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFred Posted October 12, 2017 #33 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It will also be interesting to get your take on comparing the Escape to the Harmony. I got off of her 6 weeks ago. I give the edge foodwise to the Escape but no complaints on the Harmony either. For me, Cagneys wins over Chops but Izumi beats Teppenyaki. Food Republic and District Brew House give the edge to the Escape overall. We were very surprised at the quality of food and drink in both venues. The entertainment was better on the Harmony though. I like the Harmony casino much better. The Thermal spa on the Escape is my favorite cruise ship amenity on any ship I have been on....but we wont open that can of worms again! Ha. In other words they are both fantastic ships. See you Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugsyCruiser Posted October 12, 2017 Author #40 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Good morning friends! It's day 2 of the pre cruise adventure! Hopefully the rain will fizzle out later this morning and I can hit the pool....not literally of course. In the meantime enjoy some photos before I got absolutely drenched!

In other words they are both fantastic ships. See you Saturday! I hope you have the best cruise. We will be boarding her as you are disembarking. Please, please, please post on the Thermal Spa issue. I am really hoping that they, at a minimum, let you use "open areas". Id love to hear what you were able to use, if anything. Or I am hoping they only have closed for a few days. If you hear anything about it being closed the following week as well would you kindly let me know so I can get my brain to understand that I will not be able to soak up heaven the week of 10-21. They are saying that it will be open for our cruise but if that is not going to happen I need a couple of days to mourn the Thermal Spa before I board. Id love to hear about your favorite food venues and what you had at each. Enjoy your cruise everyone!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
