There is no denying that one
of the best perks of my job is the opportunity it gives me to cruise,
particularly the chance to experience many of the new ships! Somebody once asked me if
because of that, do they tend to all blur together and lose their uniqueness?
Absolutely not! I was recently aboard
the new Norwegian Escape and I can’t stop talking about all her! Here are some things I love about her.
What I love about all the
newer Norwegian Cruise Line ships, including the Escape is the Waterfront.
The idea behind the Waterfront is to connect the
inside area of the ship to the outside by adding open air entry ways and
seating areas for bars and restaurants.
What’s more romantic than dining under the stars with the sound of the
ocean lapping softly against the side of the ship? Just thinking about how
lovely it was to dine al fresco makes me want to immediately book another
cruise!
When I cruise I’m all about eating where and when its right
for me, and freestyle dining lets me do just that! I love the fact that the
Escape had so many choices…all my favorites and some new places that were
incredible. I can’t say enough about
Jose Garces’ places. The Iron Chef is one of the leading chefs and
restaurateurs in the country and his onboard restaurant, Bayamo, which showcases seafood with a Latin twist did not disappoint.
However, Pincho
Tapas Bar was the best! I
absolutely loved the yummy small plate dishes that brought back wonderful
memories of eating my way through Spain!
I remember when the show “Million
Dollar Quartet” was on Broadway, and I passed on seeing it because I didn’t
think I’d enjoy the story or the music. I went to see it on the Escape because
my husband wanted to see it. The show is about an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash on December 4, 1956, at the Sun
Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
All I can say is WOW! The talented performers captivated the
audience from the opening scene to the ending standing ovation. Don’t miss this show!
The Norwegian Escape is the
perfect family ship because there is just so much for kids of all ages to
do. There’s a wild and crazy Aqua Park, the largest aqua park at
sea, which features four water slides, two pools, four hot tubs, and a section
for kids only! The three-story Ropes
Course includes a plank that extends over the side of the ship and zip line
tracks that allow guests to glide out over the side of the ship, offering a
bird’s eye view of the vessel! Now
don’t worry: not all is created for adrenaline junkies! There is age-appropriate youth programming,
mini golf, a sports court, and a video arcade!
This next item I’m almost
afraid to mention, as I fear if it is discovered by the masses everyone will
flock there and I’ll then have to share it!
I’m talking about Spice H2O,
the adult-only sun deck. This isn’t a new concept for Norwegian Cruise Line
ships, but on the Escape the design includes a huge waterfall grotto - a
cave-like water feature where guests can cool down in shallow water as it
trickles along the rock. The area has
many lounge chairs, hot tubs and a bar. I’d spend every day of my cruise out
here! By night, it’s a whole different vibe where you can dance beneath the
stars as images display on the huge video screen.
What else can I say other
than the Norwegian Escape is an amazing ship!
This was just a small list of what really stood out to me, but there is
so much more which you should experience for yourself!
