Royal Regular Retreats to NCL - Feb. 20, 2016 "Live" ESCAPE Review

[MommaBear55]

I have been wondering about cheating on my relationship with RCI, will follow along!

[TheDougOut]

Doug, did you get a chance to check this place out when you were onboard?

 

 

Looks familiar, but I'm having a tough time placing it.

 

Cheers!

Is this the same drink you get @ paradise point in St. Thomas ! is this available at any bar on the ship?

 

 

Yes it is. So far we have only ordered it at Spice H20.

 

Someone earlier asked for the recipe. I'm not sure but I'm sure you can find it online somewhere.

Hopefully it picks up. I was thinking my phone might whistle at me for a scope, unless wifi was sluggish. Your mom and SD having fun?

 

 

 

I can't wait to see how her intro to Del Rio goes. :)

 

 

My mother didn't fall for the rat prank (unlike Courtney). I guess my mom knows me too well :)

Did you have to provide them with the recipe at spice? We are sailing March 5th on escape would be great to kick things off with one of these ! If you folks decide to eat at margaritavile I would be interested in know it their famous burgers are indeed famous on board or if they are the same burgers offered in other Venus around the ship.

[Yorkvillain]

2nd place finish at Name That Tune Trivia at Dougtrict Brewhouse. The team name at the bottom was for Clarea. Sorry Bob.

They knew what a bushwacker was when I ordered it. If we make it to Margaritaville this week I'll let you know about the burgers!

Wow. How did nobody think of that earlier? Well done. Might be too late though for another name change.

I wish I knew these were in the bathrooms on the Escape.

 

 

 

 

Then I wouldn't have to buy this like I normally do:

Main dining room tonight for dinner (I forget the name of the place). Some dumplings for an appetizer and then the beef tenderloin as an entree. Both pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week for dinner we are also hitting Le Bistro, Cagney's Steakhouse and Teppanyaki.

I've walked through the casino a few times today so far and the cigarette smell is pretty much nonexistent. I haven't smelled anything so far. And I'm a non-smoker. Never smoked a cigarette or cigar ever.

You're torturing me Tim.:D

[Yorkvillain]

Bar service has been fantastic so far as well. It was a little slow at O'Sheehan's after we boarded (as expected) but after that it has been very fast.

I just finished binge reading all 57 pages of TheDougOut's live review. It was GREAT! You and he are so funny! Now I need to read CamaCama's review... Thanks so much!

Late night festivities have begun. Just made new friends from Boston & Ontario.

The guy from Boston is pushing 65 and hitting on young girl from Ontario. I need to watch this play out.

Old Boston guy asked me if I think he has "a shot". Lol. Um, sure.

Old Boston guy just left O'Sheehans with young Ontario girl. W-T-F? I officially give up on life.

This thread is great! Thank you for posting! We'll be on the Escape in a couple months and can't wait :D

 

Keep um coming!

[NatalieAnne]

We just got off the Escape today and loved it. But we did smell the cigarette smoke all week. We must have had a lot of smokers on board.

Enjoy! Make sure to catch Beau's performances. Awesome dude!
