Just got off the Escape yesterday - this review will not be pages & pages, just a short info review. First let me say that I enjoyed the cruise & ship very much. It was my 8th NCL cruise -but the biggest ship we have been on -prior to this it was Gem class, Sky, Pride etc. -but to be honest this is not my favorite ship-too big for me!
Embarking was quick & efficient - we were on the ship by noon. Headed to lunch at Garden Cafe -unlike the other ships there was no "outside" eating on the back of the boat -there were some outside tables along poolside. Food was good & plentiful-gourmet? no but good none the less! you can always find something there to eat. We did eat in 2 of the specialty restaurants -the Japanese & sushi -didn't need reservations for sushi -yes for the Japanese. Both were excellent and well worth the extra expense.
Getting around is a bit more complex due to the size -there are numerous bars all long the 2 main area levels -the atrium in the middle is the main game show spot -seating always at a premium.
Champagne catamaran -great crew -gave good info about area -snorkel spot was good -
Just walked around the town -having been there before -many vendors trying to sell you excursions & goods -the usual port shops you see at any Caribbean port.
