For all the people that give NCL Escape a bad review, you must have been on another ship. My wife and I have been on over 30 cruises. By far this cruise ranked as one of the best. Got to the dock at noon and were on the ship within a half an hour. Greeted by the staff as soon as we got on and the party started. Balcony stateroom was ready when we got on.

We had the dinning package and only booked the cruise three weeks before the departure so most of the dinner times available were very late when booked online or not available at all. But no problem, we went down to the Punchliner club where they had staff members there that were able to book and rebook dinner times that we wanted.

All the specialty restaurants were outstanding. Great food and super service.The Garden Buffet had a very large selection of very good food. The stage shows were very good. The dance parties at H2O keep this ship a rocking. I was told we had over 4000 guest onboard this sailing but the only time it felt a little crowded was on sea days around the pool, but the main reason is for all the chair hogs that put a towel on a chair but never show up. Do a little research and you will find plenty of chairs on the 18th and 19th deck. Read more
