Norwegian Escape&#8217;s Margaritaville restaurant and bar will embody that essence of escapism with a laid back atmosphere inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett. Nostalgic island moments will come to life with a menu that invites guests to take a bite out of paradise with signature items like the Cheeseburger in Paradise and Who&#8217;s to Blame Margarita. This venue will be one of Norwegian Escape&#8217;s many complimentary dining outlets. In addition to the restaurant, Norwegian Escape will feature the 5 O&#8217;Clock Somewhere Bar, a music venue and outdoor bar on The Waterfront. The 5 O&#8217;Clock Somewhere Bar will feature live nightly performances so guests can enjoy the sounds of the tropics while sipping a signature margarita or &#8220;boat drink&#8221; and gazing out to the beautiful Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This partnership is a perfect match between two brands that celebrate escapism, relaxing and having fun,&#8221; said John Cohlan, chief executive officer of Margaritaville. &#8220;Opening our first Margaritaville at Sea on Norwegian Escape will be a huge milestone for our company. We can&#8217;t wait to bring the Margaritaville experience to Norwegian guests and let the floating &#8216;fin&#8217; begin!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Along with the venues on Norwegian Escape, the partnership also includes Margaritaville branded food and beverage locations on Norwegian&#8217;s new island destination in Harvest Caye, Belize, set to open in fall 2015 and a 5 O&#8217;Clock Somewhere Bar on Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, planned to also debut in 2015. In the future, the partnership will extend to other ships in the fleet.<\/p>\n<p>Norwegian Escape will begin weekly seven-day cruises from her year-round homeport of Miami to the Eastern Caribbean beginning on November 14, 2015.
