Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews for Romantic to the Bahamas from Miami

First time aboard an NCL cruise and it did not disappoint. Traveled as a couple this time and enjoyed their 'freestyle' approach which is laidback and gives people plenty of reason to enjoy their cruise their way. Depending on what you want to do, you could love NCL or perhaps be a little disappointed. Our thoughts: Cons: We only did the dining package for two nights but it turned out ...

I have a few things I would like to bring to attention. Only 1 adult pool for about 3000 adults so crowded while swimming. You have to pay a service charge fee PER PERSON in each room 20$ a day. Hopefully that will be split with every crew member because the housekeeper made our beds and gave us clean towels, don’t think it should be that much of a service charge everyday for only a few things to ...

We are avid and experienced cruisers. We tried NCL years ago so we thought we would try them again. Big mistake. We have never experienced so much nickel and diming in our lives. Your cruise includes a few restaurants but there is constant encouragement to eat at one of the many speciality restaurants at a considerable a la carte cost. The quality of food that one expects from a cruise is only ...

We booked this cruise as it was two days after our wedding and had a nice itinerary and the ship seemed like it had the features we wanted. It was my wife's first cruise so we went ahead and booked! Reading the reviews leading up to the trip I was concerned if I made the right decision. I'm glad to say that I didn't! Reviews mentioned overcrowding, poor service, uncleanly conditions, bad ...

The GOOD: The cruise ship was fine and the staff/crew were extraordinarily friendly/helpful. My 7 yr old son loved the big slides on board. The Garden Cafe on deck 16 was scrumptious. The NOT SO GOOD: Our balcony room was fine ‘til we realized the seal around the doors was messed up and caused a constant whistling noise. We were told that we had to be in port before they could fix it so we had ...

We went on this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. My son is 15 and my daughter is 13. We thought this was going to be the cruise of a lifetime. Boy were we wrong! There was nothing for them to do besides the Waterpark which was closed half the time because it rained 3 out of the seven days on the cruise. We spent around $500 between the arcade and bingo just to keep them entertained. The ...

Had high hopes for NCL, but I was really underwhelmed. The food was not very good, with the exception being the buffet lunch in the Garden Cafe. Breakfast there was fair. Service was just okay. Egg dishes and bread and rolls were dry and flavorless. Fruit was very good. The food area was clean and well maintained. Lunch offered a lot of very tasty dishes as well as healthy options. Dinner ...

We were looking forward to this cruise with great enthusiasm and we didn't like it at all. The cabins are very small not for 4 people. The food in the 3 complementary restaurants are the same and the the manhattans restaurant, the taste and the savor. Restaurant reservations must be made before boarding the cruise because it is impossible on the cruise. Small place to do the glow party to many ...

First time with Norwegian, following recommendations for this cruise line online and YouTube . To start , the app, service , and debarkation were excellent. I went with no expectations, the experience was flat, nothing special, and more of the same. The food was ok, we had a dining package and tried the French Bistro that was disappointing, menu was limited, the only real French flavor was the ...

This was our 6th cruise with NCL (last in 2019). The not so good: Selected the 11:30-12 check in slot in Miami. The check in process was smooth took 20 minutes. However, not sure why NCL requests you to select a check in time and still give out boarding group numbers. We then had to wait in the lounge over 30 minutes to actually board. Unlike our cruise earlier this year on RCL out of PR, ...
