The Norwegian Escape is a beautiful ship but the cruise itself could do this A LOT of improvements.

The worst experience of this cruise is Tyler - the Cruise Director. He is the frat boy who never grew up. He is everywhere throughout the day but not in a good way. I think a good cruise director could make or break the entertainment and he certainly has room for improvement. If I ever heard him shout "MAKE SOME NOISE" again for no reason I might explode.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

We stayed in a balcony cabin on deck 14 aft and starboard (14892). The room was great and there was plenty of room for my husband and I. The bathroom had plenty of storage (no need to bring an over door shoe holder). The wardrobe was a bit lacking for the room size - enough for two people comfortably but not four. The bed was somewhat comfortable and there are plenty of power outlets in the cabin (three on a desk, one USB port on either night stand and one in the bathroom). The balcony although facing the dock mostly has a great view of Nassau when porting in the Bahamas. I wouldn't choose a port side cabin over this if it were any more expensive because I think the starboard views were great at each port.
