Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews

If you want to go on vacation to be annoyed and wait in line, then this is the ship for you! We choose this particular cruise due to itinerary (only repeat for was St. Thomas), and that it happened to work out with when we could take vacation time together. Granted, I haven't sailed NCL since the Norway (we have sailed others), but we also never, ever sail them again. Starting with ...

The cruise rocked the entire time and the tender to great stirrup cay also sucked because it rocked as well the food on the boat was okay nothing special though the only good thing that I ate was at osheehans and that was the wrangler burger and the wings but even then that kind of sucked everything closed super early and the adult only zone only allowed kids in and if the kids didn't go in then ...

This ship was chosen as part of a Casinos at Sea offer - All previous cruises have been on Royal Caribbean. Biggest disappointment was only one pool available for the majority of guests. Pool decks were extremely crowded. No personal space on pool decks. Loungers were side by side. Only other options were hot/lukewarm tubs - which in temperatures > 80 degrees - not enticing and also ...

I really wanted to enjoy a trip to 4 different places, 3 of which I had never been to before: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands, and British Virgin Islands. I thought the cruise would be the perfect getaway, allowing me to visit new lands and enjoy pristine beach time, relax and enjoy the sun. Well.... The cruise was extremely boring. Yes, it should be relaxing, but if you have an ...

We chose this cruise after having sailed Royal Caribbean and Carnival for many years, expecting a “higher end” cruise considering the price. We paid almost triple once it was all said and done, and received half the service as other cruise lines. The good: the cabins were a tad bit nicer than some, but it was minimal. They did offer specialty dining and the steakhouse was great. The port of call ...

I want to start by saying that before this cruise, we last cruised in November 2022, so right about 6 months between cruises. This cruise was definitely at full capacity. The Escape is a larger ship and you can immediately tell that every stateroom was sold out. As you walk along through the different venues it doesn’t seem very crowded but as soon as you go to the outdoor decks and pool area you ...

Took an Anniversary cruise with Norwegian and never again. Neighbors were smoking on there balcony and cruise staff did nothing. The smell of marijuana was all over the place. People were vaping in the hallways and on the pool deck. Food was terrible at the Buffett and dining rooms. They save the good food for Specialty dining. Had pictures of neighbors smoking and staff said we didn't have ...

This was our first time cruising Norwegian. We chose Norwegian because our previous experience with Carnival was so bad. The positives were that the Escape had solid cuisine, good balcony rooms with an obstructed view, and decent entertainment options. However, the walking track was incredibly small and located in a high traffic area. You'll find it challenging to exercise on this cruise ship. ...

We wanted an escape and we didn’t get that. Instead we received poor service on a overcrowded ship with too many petty and rude crew members offering sub par a la carte services. Some of the highlights my husband and I observed: - only two banks of elevators on this massive ship caused for many traffic jams and delays - no signage on the ship indicating where you are on the ship. Signs ...

I choose this cruise to see the Virgin Islands & DR. First, the ship was too crowded. Very, very small pool for the number of guests, I couldn't even get in and no chairs to be found. Besides the buffet, they have 3 complimentary restaurants with the same menu in all three. Food was terrible. My steak was so tough I could not cut it. The veal parm was soggy, french onion soup is a bowl with ...
