I had been on the Escape in 2015 on just the 3rd or 4th week of cruising. It was very new. I thought it was great then. Now the Escape has truly come into its own. The staff is above amazing. I think the staff onboard this ship is what makes this ship outstanding. I had a spa minisuite on deck 15. The only thing I could say about it was a few times I could hear them moving chairs above me ...
NCL booked all of our flights and transfers. They booked us a non-stop from Boston to Orlando, but our return flight stopped at JFK on the way back. There were dozens of non-stop flights from Orlando to Boston that day at a similar price - not sure why NCL picked the flight thru JFK that got us home hours 2-3 later.
We flew into Orlando the day before our cruise and stayed at a Hampton Inn ...
We took a eastern Caribbean cruise which went to Tortolla, St Thomas and Great Stirrup Cay. As, always, we choose to stay in The Haven. It is well worth the extra money and takes all the hassles out of cruising. Embarkation is a breeze and once we made it trough security, our check in took less than ten minutes. We were escorted directly to the Haven area. We met our butler and then went to the ...
We did not choose the cruise as friends of ours picked it, but we did not think it could be as terrible as it was. Literally from the second we booked we had problems. I booked online and when I tried calling them to make changes they told me they couldn’t help because we booked through the South African website...meanwhile we are in PA. We were recommended to call the international line (which we ...
My best friend and I have been friends for 25 years and to celebrate her and I decided to take this cruise. This became an extremely stressful vacation and we weren’t able to enjoy our time. I have cruised before but it was her first time. The ship was not beautiful, the night club DJ played bad wedding music such as the hussle and the food was disappointing. The staff caused us enormous amounts ...
We decided to cruise on the Escape since we have been on NCL a few times and thought it was pretty good. Just some background..we are seniors and have cruised 40 times..mosly on Princess...but also on Royal Carib, Celebrity, MSC, and Carnival..as well as NCL about 4 times.
The ship is beautiful and well maintained...The theatre is dark and drab and the Atrium is not attractive or large enough ...
I'd like to thank NCL for directing me to Cruise Critic (probably unknowingly) by only allowing me one little space in the survey for my comments. I have a story to tell and that little "block" wasn't going to cut it…
We boarded our cruise ship on Nov. 30 (Day 1) and apparently there were a lot of new people who didn't have answers to some of our questions. We were going thru the line and as my ...
I initially was going on this cruise for our 40th anniversary, but as the time got closer, my husband decided he really did not want to go as it is tooooo much walking for him. So I chose to take my sister instead. I had gone to the expense of the Haven so that we would not have to walk and stand in lines for the bar & restaurants and a smaller pool & spa area too.
The Haven and our suite ...
This was my 6th cruise with NCL and there was definitely something amiss with this trip.
Food - HORRIBLE (taste, selection, temperature) at all restaurants we visited (Taste, Savor, Manhattan Room, O'Sheehan's). The only decent meal was at the Buffet for breakfast where you could get a hot made to order omelet. It is evident that they want you to pay for Specialty Dining if you want a ...
We wanted a winter getaway. Got a last minute bargain cruise. It was terrible. Very skeleton staff our steward was useless. half of the buffet was closed for every meal and the food was disgusting Long delays to get on and Off boat at ports.
Norwegian offers free cruises for kids and the boat was full of them. I want a cruise line that caters to adults otherwise I’d go Disney. There were not ...
