Miami to the Eastern Caribbean Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews

Embarking on a recent voyage aboard the Norwegian Escape, I was eager to explore the luxurious amenities and exceptional service promised by this renowned cruise line. While the overall experience offered a blend of positive and negative aspects, I would like to provide a comprehensive review that highlights both the remarkable features and areas for improvement on this particular journey. Pool ...

As someone who worked in travel and the cruise industry, Norwegian always stuck out as the best and the innovator in cruising. Years ago, I sailed on the Norway (best ship ever) and the Sunward. This was our first Norwegian cruise in 22 years. We have sailed Royal and Princess several times in the past few years. We chose to book our own flights and transfers which saved a lot of money but ...

We wanted an escape and we didn’t get that. Instead we received poor service on a overcrowded ship with too many petty and rude crew members offering sub par a la carte services. Some of the highlights my husband and I observed: - only two banks of elevators on this massive ship caused for many traffic jams and delays - no signage on the ship indicating where you are on the ship. Signs ...

I choose this cruise to see the Virgin Islands & DR. First, the ship was too crowded. Very, very small pool for the number of guests, I couldn't even get in and no chairs to be found. Besides the buffet, they have 3 complimentary restaurants with the same menu in all three. Food was terrible. My steak was so tough I could not cut it. The veal parm was soggy, french onion soup is a bowl with ...

To set the stage- travelling with my husband (52 yrs old), myself (51 years old) and our two daughters (20 & 22 year olds). First time on a cruise ( but we are a family who will travel 1-2 times per year). Our cruise package included the unlimited beverage, 1 specialty dining, $50 excursion credit & 150 minutes per passenger for wifi). On-boarding - going through x-ray screening fairly ...

Started out with a quick boarding process, dropped bags and was on ship having lunch at O'sheehans in about 35 minutes. From the Spice H2O parties, getting away at the Vibe beach club to all the great restaurants it was a very fun cruise. Did 4 dinners in The Manhattan Room, ate at Moderno's and 1 night at the buffet. Can't leave put the great lunches at O'sheehans, excellent service and ...

I booked Escape purely on the sail dates and port of calls. Getting on and off ship was overwhelming. Long waits 2 hours plus. No consideration for disabled. Changed entire itinerary the day of cruise. Had to refund one of my excursions because of time conflict with new schedule. Going to guest services was always nightmare. Long lines, having people behind you receive help, when your ...

- Never received an email that e-docs were ready. But received plenty of promotional emails. - No communication about special dress/event nights. My party had no idea there was a glow party and other parties until we were on the ship and talked with other guests. I read everything and none of this info was in any communication we received. - No communication before and once boarded that the ...

This was the worst cruise line I’ve ever dealt with. From the time that I stepped onto the boat till the time that I got off, it was nothing but issues. The first issue I had was as soon as we got on they told me that my kids didn’t have a soda package which I clearly purchased and verified before I even went on the cruise. I had to turn around and purchase free beverage packages for my kids while ...

Only my 4th. trip with NCL and first (and last) on the Escape. It was rare to find soap in the restrooms in the common areas and at the entrance to the buffet and usually no towels. Food was a dissappointment...Prime Rib could not be cut with a knife, cold scrambled eggs, cold sausage and barely warm sausage gravy....big problem with keeping food at proper temperatures. Coffee in the morning was ...
