Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a lot of cruises mostly on Carnival but actually the most spectacular of them all was a cruise that I did last year on the Norwegian Getaway it was fantastic

the Haven is an exclusive area only accessible to about a couple hundred VIP guests and during our cruise on Norwegian Getaway last year we were fortunate enough to have a cabin within the Haven and it was spectacular

I'm so pleased to see that they will continue that on Norwegian Escape in addition to the Brazilian steakhouse there's also a traditional Steakhouse Kagney

a cruise on the Norwegian Escape is really more about the ship experience than it is about the places that you'll visit although it certainly visits three very nice places torola St Thomas and Nassau

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider booking a Haven Spa Suite for a luxurious cabin with a private jacuzzi and direct access to the spa's thermal suite.
βœ“Use the iPad ordering system at the Food Republic for a unique dining experience.
