Having cruised with NCL 21 times, we LOVE the Freestyle. We did the Escape back to back, as we had some on board credit money, plus the unlimited beverage package. Plus, they offered a $50. credit per shore excursion, if you wished to use that option. And, we thought it would take a while to learn this new Huge ship!

We thought the service was impeccable. Eating at O'Sheehan's, they have prime rib about 3 or 4 times on our 7 day cruise. (Open 24 hrs.!) Love Manhattan and the atmosphere with the dance band. Savor and Taste usually have the same menu, as, on the other ships. But, our food and service was fantastic. Decor is beautiful. Also, went to Le Bistro & Lucina, plus, Moderno. OH my, so much fantastic food and don't forget to get the "Baked Pineapple!" Spent a lot of time in H2O Spice, the Adult only area (Until 8 p.m.) That is when the parties start! This area has a great water fall to cool off. (On the Epic they have a pool in the middle!) The five bartenders here were Fantastic and each had their only specialty. Don't miss the "Sugar cane" bar where Jonathan will make you a suburb Mojito! & put on a "SHOW"! Or, the "Cowboy" out on the boardwalk deck of Tobacco RD.

We are Very Spoiled by NCL, as, when you are Platinum you get a bottle of champagne in your room, with chocolate covered strawberries & Godiva chocolates. Plus, dinner for two at a specialty restaurant, which we get two each & a bottle of wine! as, we are both Platinum. Read more
