first time cruising from Bayonne, so everything was a little new for us. arrived the afternoon before the cruise and stayed at the Best Western Plus by Newark airport, who provided parking and shuttle service included in the room, so that was a bonus.
embarkation went very smoothly, disembarkation was somewhat delayed, but was as expected for a ship with this capacity.
the cabin (see ...
The ship is very nice the crew are all friendly smiles make you feel welcome there is a good variety of food my only concern was that a few items have high Fructose corn syrup The yogurt ketchup. I didn’t see any other options for those. The shows were good we saw after midnight the brat pack but that was for PG 16 which had some questionable content or you can bring younger children also our ...
I was with a group that booked this cruise. It was my first cruise. I booked a studio since I was traveling solo. The cabin was immaculate and my steward Chang was very attentive. The studio lounge was nice for a quick drink or snack and always clean.
Embarkation went smoothly and didn't take too long.
All in all I found that all of the food was delicious. I enjoyed the food at all of the ...
This was my seventh cruise with NCL since 2004 and my fifth as a solo cruiser. Having previously cruised on the Dream, Dawn, Gem, and Breakaway I was aware of NCL's freestyle cruising, culture, and had my own set of expectations.
Getting to the port: For those of us who take public transportation arriving at the port is not difficult. Metro-North and LIRR deliver you to Grand Central or Penn ...
Ship:
Big ship and beautiful. Inaugurated in 2016 so has all the new technology. They have tried to cramp too many people making some spaces smaller than other ships.
Cabin
Smaller than some of the other ships I have been on but it was still good size. We were 4 in our cabin and we had no issue with space. The bathroom is good size.
Dinning
We just used the complimentary dining ...
The cruise was very nice. It was my first time on the Escape and I like the ship a lot. It's a better version of the Breakaway. It never felt as crowded as the Breakaway does though the same problem with too loud atrium activities interfering with conversations with guest services and cruise consultants persists. I really like all the outdoor seating on The Waterfront, especially as I had an ...
We have been to Bermuda on Celebrity before, and we noticed that the first cruise of the season was a "Moveable Feast" cruise. Chefs Richard Blais and Bryan Voltaggio were both on board offering cooking demos and private cooking classes. Normally we wouldn't go to Bermuda this early in the season, but we really wanted to be on this specialty cruise, so we decided to go earlier in the ...
We are frequent cruisers but haven't been on Norwegian for about 20 years. Gave it another chance because of the promotion (free drink packages and free 3 Dining upgrade package). We chose the mini-suite to get a full size shower and it was definitely worth it!
We are not big drinkers but was nice to get the frou-frou drinks (frozen pina colada's, frozen strawberry daiquiris, bahama mama, etc). ...
My friends and I chose this cruise to Bermuda upon the advice of my TA. Embarkation was a breeze. The Concierge Embarkation lunch was very nice. We then toured the Persian Garden, but chose not to pay the $99 for a full week's access. We did take advantage of the spa special that day and enjoyed the BEST massages ever at the Canyon Ranch Spa. We enjoyed them so much that we cancelled our ...
Been to Bermuda several times it was all about the food....my wife and I both enjoyed bayamo, pinchos, food republic at the days at sea and really like Cagneys as always they never let us down.....the French, Italian and tappanyuki is always great dinners.....also like the Chinese but it was not on the ship....we had already seen the brat pack but the choir of man was the best!!!! Howling at the ...
