Just returned from excellent cruise with NCL Escape, having been many times on the Epic. NCL have got it right with one exception they just have not got enough staff on this ship. This is a big ship and at times it seemed very crowded. Difficult but not impossible to find places to relax during sea days Lines and lines of people waiting to be served at the bars, they must be losing money on this!

The pool area was very dangerous, many warning signs of slippery area but nobody mopping up! I saw two people slip over. Children jumping in and out the Adults only pool, parents seem to be ignoring the small stuck on sign" Adults only" and not enough staff to discipline this. I think this is an accident waiting to happen.

Bars closing early, I have never been told on any ship before "sorry this bar is not open or sorry this bar is closing". I ended up only spending money on buying a glass of wine with dinner as I just couldn't be bothered to fight my way to the bar for drinks. This is my only criticism of the ship and I really hope they can get in right by employing more staff.
