I pre-ordered the cheese tray, and it was well worth the price for a great
The Haven hot tub!
What a view.
Anna and I got to meet the Captain and some of the crew during the cocktail
It was Halloween during the cruise, so we brought our costumes, and so did
Room service one of the mornings.
Yep, Anna and Ben (me lol) got all dressed up Nov 2, to celebrate our 20th
Pool area of the Escape. Waterslide is a must!
Glow Party at H2O.
Nassau. We booked the half day to Atlantis beach through NCL but not worth

We got to bid for an upgraded room and we got switch over to The Haven section and got a fabulous Aft Facing Forward Penthouse Suite # 9706. The room was fantastic. As you walk in you have a dining table with 3 chairs and then a couch and chair lounging area. Next to that was a balcony, a bit ackward with a steel bin on the left-but that just gave us more privacy. We had a real king size bed in another room with a porthole window. But we were on the 9th deck so the view from the bedroom window wasn't great at all...but we didn't care because it's not as if you can sit in your bedroom and look out the window, especially when you have a balcony. The bathroom was a 5 star. Huge jet tub, separate shower with a sit down area, separate toilet to do your business and 2 sinks with a large counter.

This room well worth the upgraded price. And The Haven section was exactly like you see in the pictures. We had our own private lounge/bar area. Own pool with 2 hot tubs and lots of loungers. Top floor was the restaurant (very tasty), more lounge chairs and an outdoor deck, lounging area with a hot tub and smoking section.

The Haven was heaven!

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

St Thomas was a nice area to walk around, have lunch and just enjoy the day.

Tortola

Not much to do there...well, maybe that's our fault-we didn't want to get off the ship. Went for a quick walk about, got spices at Spice Caribbean (and they were really good).
