We chose this Norwegian Escape cruise because it fit our time frame Dec17-24th and it was a new ship. Let's just say I was totally unimpressed. This was my first time cruising with Norwegian as I've always done Royal Carribbean and Carnival with the family. Our annual trip always includes Me, My two kids, brother and parents. When we walked on the ship the first thing I asked is where's the promenade. Well there's no promenade. There's no fancy atrium with glass elevators. It's just rather plain and boring. I was very surprised as this is a new ship. I've been on older ships that have been very glamourous. Here are some pros and cons of cruise below.

PROS:

-Loved Tortola and the island Virgin Gorda. Definitely take a small boat right to Virgin gorda to see the "Baths" as this was the highlight of our trip.

Cabin was great despite the rest of the ship. I love the bathroom layout and shower. Very spacious.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

It was just like every other Caribbean island. Nothing special.

Miami

We live close to Miami. It's Miami. What more can I say?
