1bets1 #1 Posted July 18 Does anyone have a list of included eateries in Escape? The website was pretty general, listing the dining rooms and buffet. Is there pizza, ice cream, coffee cafes? Any info is appreciated! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tap_out #3 Posted July 18 unfortunately its pretty limited, which is why I love carnival. However we still plan on having a great cruise on the escape. Off the top of my head. The main dining room, taste, savor "which are essentially still just main dining rooms", The pub, room service, buffet and I believe that is it for free venues. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1bets1 #5 Posted July 18 I could have sworn that someone posted the pizza is good! Maybe the buffet has it? Are any of the Waterfront places included? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LrgPizza #6 Posted July 18 I'm confused about the comment about the website. It specifically lists what dining options are on this ship, and which are included. https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/escape/whats-on-board - Click the filter links to the left to see what is complimentary and what is specialty (for a fee). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're from NY, definitely stay away from the pizza. It's mediocre, at best. But if you must have it, I remember it being at the buffet. The restaurants by the Waterfront are all Specialty restaurants and have a fee. If you have the 3 meal perk, it's really nice to try the various places and if the weather allows, it's great to actually sit outside on the Waterfront and eat. My group of 6 sailed Escape last July and we didn't have the dining perk and chose to only eat what was included. It was fine and there was plenty to choose from. For breakfast we mixed it up between buffet, mdr and small buffet by Margaritaville. O'Sheehans breakfast is supposedly good too. Lunch we split between buffet and mdr. Dinner was split among the 3 mdr's, although we chose the Manhattan room the most to hear the music, which was hit or miss. Overall, a good but not great dining experience, but we know this going in and have long ago decided our cruises will focus on fun and casual. The Escape gives you that in spades. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1bets1 #8 Posted July 18 Truthfully, I always like the food at the buffets better than the MDRs. So when I'm up at 5:30-6AM, besides room service, where can I go for coffee? On RC, they always had the Promenade Cafe. Anything similar? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PTC DAWG #9 Posted July 18 I'm pretty sure the Atrium will have coffee at that hour...Maybe on the pool deck somewhere too, or maybe in the buffet... The Escape is a great ship..enjoy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yearsofcruising #10 Posted July 18 Buffets normally open at 7. But O'Sheehans for breakfast is made fresh not from heated bins. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is usually a coffee set up outside on waterfront near one of the bars. Coffee tea juice and generic pastries 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As another said, coffee ☕ on the Waterfront at 6am and outside at Margaritaville. I went to either every morning around 6:30. On the waterfront there's a few stations. I always went to one at 5 O'clock somewhere bar. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping there are places if I just want to grab a cookie, without having to go to the buffet. I think I'm programmed by RC. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
