Here's the bottle selection at the brewpub.  Nice!
Check out the Florida Beers!
Nice IPA selection (if you like IPSs).
The Escape docked in Manhattan.   A terrible place to board any ship.  Dirt

Chose this cruise for the "Cigar Lounge"....what a joke! No decent Cigar Aficionado would spend more then 2 1/2 minutes in this "Cigarette Lounge". Smokey from day 1 and got continually worse for 14 more days. There's nothing better than to sit back, have a drink and enjoy a good cigar away from those who do not imbibe but this lounge is a joke. They should be sued for calling it a "Cigar Lounge". Every 2 1/2 minutes, a cigarette smoker would hop in, puff like hell, and leave! That's what got me on this ship and that's what will keep me away from another NCL trip!

Great food! Probably some of the best food we've had on our last 34 cruises! Nice staff and great room attendants. Entertainment was just OK in the Theater except for the Choir of Man and the Dueling Pianos. That was out best enjoyment on board. I am a beer lover but when we arrived, four of the twenty-four beer taps were out and by the end of the cruise, there were eleven out of twenty-four taps closed! What the hell?

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BX

A little smaller than RCL or Celebrity but very clean and well kept. Carpet shows age. Great sliding door to balcony. Closet too close to edge of bed. Great Shower!

Port Reviews

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Took a local tour on the dock. $25.00 per person and it was great! Same tour on ship was $65.00. hmmmmmmm!

Harvest Caye

Had to buy $8.00 beers and a $40 lunch. Should have stayed on board!

Costa Maya

This is a shopping stop! What else do you want?

Cozumel

Still one of our favorite stops for souvenirs It's just like a Mall at home when you get off but a nice place to walk during the rain. Save yourself some money and walk the shopping area one block West of the main street. Many shops, great good and drink prices. A great place to spend a few hours..

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

No much here to do! We rented a car and made the most of it. Do enjoy the Sunsets at the Sunset Bar and Grille on the Banana River! We go there every Port Canaveral Stop.
