Wonderful time with my husband and adult children. We loved the specialty dining and had a wonderful time at the art auctions. The ship and its crew was extremely friendly and the drink package is so worth it. Norwegian definitely is not stingy with their pour or brands. I am in the spirit industry and this is important to me as far as quality and good brands. The Escape definitely exceeded our expectations in this field. We do think that the main dining rooms are nice but could have had a better selection of complimentary items and not charged the same amount for a steak as the specialty restaurants charged. While we understood that a nominal charge keeps guests from ordering too much of one item, a smaller fee would have been easier to digest.

We loved that the main pool area was for adults and that security kept the children from hanging at the pool as they had their own large area with a pool and fun water park area.
