Con: Cruising on the Escape I was left disappointed. One pool for over 4,500K cruisers and on sea days way too crowded as people were stepping over people. In most bar areas the bartenders were so busy with all the drink package cruisers it was hard to get a drink without waiting in line. The customer service was unfriendly and reflected a lack of communication skills. The dining room staff were so busy they were not able to offer personal connections with each guest. The meals were not that great with almost the same options every night. The gift shopps offered more jewerly and high ticket items rather than NCL apparrel and small items most cruisers might actually want.

Pro: The embarkment and dissembarkment was wonderful almost walked on and off with little wait. Two thumbs up! Ship was clean with plenty of activities going on for both adult and children. The Garden Cafe was pretty good for breakfast and lunch with plenty of food selections and ample seating.
