We went on the Escape on it's first return to service sent Covid. The experience was amazing and even thought the ship was only at 50/60% occupancy. We were on the Carnival Mardi Gras in September of 2021 and had an okay experience so we were expecting the same here due to them just putting the ship back in service. This was the furthest from the truth and NCL did a fantastic job. They had sail away parties, deck parties at night, you didn't have to wear a mask anywhere and it was great.

The Italian restaurant and the Brazilian Buffet were as awesome as we remembered. The Manhattan Room is our favorite dining room, and we love to eat in there. The ports were great, even though we missed going to Gran Turk. We had a great excursion at Coral World Ocean Park, we had a great time there. The Irish Pub is great and open 24 hours for food, the buffets were amazing at all meals, and we had a great time. It was our 4th time on this ship and we really like it, we will go again.
