I laugh when I read some of these reviews from various experiences had by passengers. As in life, you can't please everyone. I am not moking anyone, just making a point that a cruise full of people will have various experiences.
About myself, I cruised several times on 3 other NCL ships and Princess before including the beautiful Escape last summer to Bermuda. I am a male, 52 and travel with my Lady. I should also mention I was on a casino at sea cruise meaning it was comped by my affiliation with a casino so isaved some money and caught some nice promo's including reduced air. I did my research prior to booking knowing it was still summer weather in early September so everyday was as anticipated. Simply gorgeous! Most kids were be back at school so it was an older crowd. The destinations were spectacular for a 7 day cruise and we took advantage at every port.
A quick rundown of everything related...
Our cabin was located midship nearer the front. Our stewart was very friendly, helpful and usually around when we needed him. The cabin was always attended to daily with turn down service nightly. Smaller than most balcony rooms of this category but functional. The bathrooms as you heard of from others is what it is but it worked for us.
