Norwegian Escape Review
Rating by category
Additional details
The Escape was our 6th cruise with NCL and our 9th cruise overall. Like with most vacations, we had some good and bad moments, here is a list of our experience.
MENTIONABLE PROS:
- Nice large kids splash pad with a kiddie water slide
Cabin Review
Family Inside Stateroom
We had two rooms, one balcony and one inside.
- Balcony suites are a typical of NCL
- Balcony suite washroom is BIG with two sinks and almost normal size bath tub
- Beware of mid-ship inside cabins on the 9th floor as the live music will resonate into the
cabins until 11:30pm on certain nights. So loud that you can hear the words and feel the
vibration
- Room had very limited storage - normally there are storage all over the cabins, but not
this ship. No hooks in room.
- Mattress is horrible - ask for double mattress topper!
- Bunk bed mattress is even worse
- Family inside is small, very very very small. No seating area just beds. If you are four
average sized people, you will not enjoy this space
- When you push the single bottem beds together you will not be able to see the tv or sit up
in bed due to the bunk beds
Port Reviews
St. Thomas
$8 per person taxi to Meghan's Bay. $5 entrance fee fot adults, kids 12 and under are free. Chair rental $7 each. Very crowded.
Nassau
Walked to Junkaroo Beach - about 10-15 min walk. Good snorkelling. Free chairs in certain areas if you buy from vendor or two lounge chairs, paddle boat and kayak for $25
Tortola
Small shopping area. Locals are pretty chill not demanding.
Miami
Ride from FLL to port of Miami about 45-50 min. FLL airport has no shopping and is very busy.
