I just got off the NCL Escape 2 hours ago and I could not wait to start my review of this cruise. Just to begin, I was cruising with my wife and two teenage kids 13 & 15. We have cruised before with Carnival, Royal and NCL in the past.
The ship was absolutely AMAZING! The food, service, cabins and activities were all great also. There is only one thing that I need to complain about and that was the APP and the charges which I will get into later because I want to talk about all the Great things first. I hope this review helps you out with all your questions and concerns. Please feel free to contact me with specific questions if needed. Enjoy!
We got to the port at 11:15 am, checked in and received group 4 boarding pass which was not that bad considering all the people that were there ahead of me. We live in Miami so we didn't want to get there so early. I have a friend who got me into group one when they were called so we got in very quickly. The first thing I will keep saying throughout this review is the lack of lines. I have never been on any other cruise ship where the lines run so smooth.
Cabin Review
Inside Stateroom
Cabin ID
Cabin: We had purchased two inside cabins on the 12th floor (12407, 12403). All I can say is that this is the biggest inside cabin I have ever been in. The layout is amazing. The bathroom is huge for an inside cabin. There is plenty of space inside the closet. I have some great tips for the cabin you will like.
Cabin Tips & Tricks:
1.The cabin has 3 electrical outlets and one USB port on the back of the TV. I brought a power strip but did not need it. In order to access the USB on the TV, grab the tv from the bottom and ouch up. It will come off the bracket and then you can plug in the usb. The tv must be on to charge your device. (I will attach photos)
2. There is plenty of room to store your clothes in the closet but if you want to hang wet clothes or hats, purchase magnet hooks and place them on the bathroom door which is metal. Contrary to what I had read about the walls being metal, they are not metal. There is also a metal strip on the shower stall that you add magnet hooks also.( I will add photos).
3. If you remove one of the nightstands and place in closet, you can move bed to one side and it will give you more room to walk around.
4. Bring an old credit card that doesn't work so you can place in slot so your lights can power up your room all day. We never left the lights on but it kept the power on so I could charge my phone or cameras while I was away.
5. Place luggage under bed.
