Norwegian Escape Review
Great New Years Eve Cruise with Some Major Disappointment
Rating by category
Additional details
We were on this cruise, with my husband, sibling and his spouse, and their child, and despite some major disappointments, there were a lot of positives.
The Positives:
The embarkation was one of the easiest embarkations I've ever experienced. While it may have been helpful for some of the sales - drink packages, dining packages, corkage fee payment, etc., to be available while you wait, there was NO wait, which is a first.
Cabin Review
Inside Stateroom
Very tight, no drawers, and clothings stored on shelves. A lot of hangers. Nice design, and bed was ok. Bathroom pleasant surprise, very room by cruise ship standard.
Port Reviews
St. Thomas
Took a taxi to Magens Bay, it was beautiful. Taxi is $8 per person. Much better than taking a tour, as very relaxing. Taxi to town, for lunch and shopping. Ship Shore excursion staff could not provide a map, nor tell us the cost to ferry to St. John, nor any taxi information. Essentially, if you opt not to take a tour, they were not helpful.
Tortola
Overbooked. Caves over 1 hour, which meant you were stuck in a cave. Shore excursion did not prepare sufficiently preparation. Tips: wear water shoes, preferably hiking/water shoe combo, travel light
Nassau
Walked around town. Shopping prices better than ship.
