I have sailed on the Escape two times and I'm about to go on for my 3rd time this video is very helpful for first time cruisers as well as experienced cruisers who need a refresher!
Great tips. We found it very helpful. We are cruising with NCL for the first time this summer. Watching your video has made us even more excited.
Hope you have a great time on your cruise!
I am so excited about going on this ship....thank you!
Hope you have a great time on your cruise!
Great tips. Thanks!
Great tips! We are going on for a 3rd time and I learned a few new ones I didn't know about. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy (another!) cruise on the Escape!
This was an absolutely AWESOME video of tips! i wish I could take it with me on the ship! lol. Great job, thank you for putting this together
So glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you enjoy your cruise!
We just came back from this ship. The staff was absolutely amazing. I hated the pools, as they’re too small, but it was a really good first experience. The elevators were beyond annoying and I work in an office building with bad elevators.
Thanks for doing this video. Great tips which I expect to be really helpful when goint on the cruise later this year.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy your cruise!
Thank you!
Thanks for posting
On the Escape soon, this is really good. Thanks for the tips. I am sure they are still relevant.
Hope you enjoy your cruise!
Thanks for posting! I’m on her in December’22 Woo Hoo
Hope you enjoy your cruise!
me too dec 3-10
Well done
First of all, I need to say your narrations are impeccable! You have such an amazing voice and I cannot express my gratitude towards you for your tips! Hopefully one day y’all can head to Kralendijk, Bonaire! Would love some tips from there! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your kind words! Bonaire is certainly on our to-do list. We've already done Aruba and Curacao, so we just need to get to Bonaire to complete the ABC Islands!
I agree, very well done. Headed to Bonaire as well....some time soon
We took the ship to Bermuda in June. We have always been cruising with Royal Caribbean before. We took the ship because the itinerary worked best for us. We loved Bermuda very much. This ship is OK. Appeared to be smaller than I thought it was. All the activities on the top deck seems to be crammed onto one side so it was always crowded. The entertainment was so so. Only one show at the main theater pretty much every night so you run out of things to do quickly. Maybe we were so spoiled by RC. We took Harmony of the Seas before this one. Had a different show every night - water theater, Ma Ma Mia, Figure Skating etc. I mean major shows in the theater, not the singing by the piano kind of show. There is a big screen, piano, bingo right by the customer service/shore excursion table so you can barely hear anything when you need to talk to someone. The food was good. Staff was nice.
I went on the cruise on June 30 and came back today
Hope you had a great cruise!
One more tip RE: restrooms. they are always in the elevator/stair area on every level. I was thinking of the public decks only, and that may not be 100%, just seems like from my experiences.
That is *mostly* true, but there are some key exceptions. There are no restrooms close to the elevators/stairs on Deck 5 Forward, Deck 6 Forward (they're near the Art Gallery and Comedy Club), Deck 16 Aft, Deck 17 Forward and Aft, and the stateroom decks. Some of these can be problematic if you're participating in an activity nearby and suddenly can't find a restroom where you expect them to be. :)
Have cruise set for 2022
Aww! I just posted a tour of the Escape too. I miss it! 😢I wish this quarantine would end.

any NCL getaway tips/secrets?
Unfortunately, we sailed on the Breakaway (sister ship of the Getaway) prior to launching our website and channel. That said, the Escape is a Breakaway-Plus class ship, so many of these tips should work for your cruise aboard the Getaway, even if they're not exactly the same. Hope you enjoy your cruise aboard the Getaway!
ive been on the brakeaway this ship looks like the brakeaway
We've also been on the Breakaway and you're right: the ships are quite similar.
Not sure what you mean by "shortcuts" in the title of your video since you don't discuss that directly.
For us, shortcuts are things that save time without significantly decreasing our enjoyment. In that way, things like Less-Crowded Lunch (#3) and Margaritaville Breakfast (#5) were great shortcuts for us to avoid long lines and still enjoy a similar experience. Hope that helps!
@@TheJellyBeans I would call those tips, not shortcuts, but thanks for clarifying. Also just a heads up that Margaritaville is no longer on the Escape; they must have taken it out when they started their own cruise line 🤷🏻♀
I stayed on bored in may to june 2nd too bermuda
