This was my third Cruise and my girlfriends first cruise, we were in the haven. I love the haven amenities, the courtyard was beautiful and the spa suite was awesome. We attended the Brat Pack show and the Million Dollar Quartet show, both were great we have no complaints but definitely prefer the Brat Pack show. It was a unique experience because everybody got along well on the ship, you could say hi and talk to a random stranger and have a great conversation. There was a lot of drinking but that added to the fun lol. Every night there was a party at h2o definitely more of an adult type thing. I didn't do a lot of free venues but I love the Italian and steak house places. No complaints about the food whatsoever, the drinks were great and the staff as always is top notch. I read the negative reviews before the cruise, but you gotta read between the lines when you read those. Most are nitpicky type reviews. If you're open minded and willing to have a great time then you will love the Norwegian escape.
The cabin was absolutely huge, the balcony was nice and the hot tub was amazing. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in.
Embarking was very painless and easy, its the waiting part that kind of sucks.
