This was the very forst cruise my husband and I had ever taken and boy am I glad we did. We did not want for anything on this cruise, everything you could want was right there at your fingertips. It was a great time from the minute we got on the ship to the time we got off the ship. The Nowegian Escape staff were great, all the way from the dining staff up to the captain. Tyler the cruise director was a hoot! he was always showing up when you least expected it including in the musical The Brat Pack. I can not say enough how genuine all these people really are. Our cabin stewart Depender always made sure we had everything we needed and made sure our room was clean. I have recommended the Nowegian Escape to all our family and friends. We are already planning another cruise and it can not be any other cruise line but Norwegian!
