We chose this cruise because we sailed other ships in NCL's fleet previously and had an awesome experience each time. While the Breakaway is relatively new and modern, the staterooms were smaller than I was expecting, especially when compared to similar class of staterooms on other Norwegian ships we've taken
The food in the Garden Buffet was good but as the week wore on, seemed became ...
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 ...
This was my first cruise experience and, it will be my last. I booked as part of a group celebrating a couple's 10 year wedding anniversary. While checking in at the port, all the staff were so friendly, happy and welcoming. Unfortunately, this was not a reflection of what I would find on the ship. While some of the servers were great, a vast many were downright rude.
On the first day at ...
The escape is a nice ship, but lacking in nightclub entertainment compared to other ships that have the "Bliss lounge" we missed the band and or DJ that played good dance music every night! Food was not very good. Variety was good, but steaks were tough, chicken seemed a little under done and the omelet stations were way to busy.
On a good note, most of the staff was amazing in every area, ...
