We have cruised with different cruise lines over the last 15 years. Being a daughter of a Disney fanatic I had to try a Disney cruise for our grandkids.
Let’s start with the positives. Our favorite bar to visit was Soul Cat Lounge. Isasias the Lead bartender is excellent and all of the hosts that work with him are the nicest and most friendly people ever! They really made our trip happy even ...
We are in our mid 40s. We chose this cruise because of the size of the ship and dates available. This was our 7th cruise...4 prior Carnival and 2 prior Royal Caribbean. I would always tell friends and family how much I loved Carnival's food and environment.
This is by far the worst cruise we have been on so far.
Positives:
Embarkation was a smooth process.
Staff were exceptional in ...
My family went on this cruise for my birthday, I received a card from the Captain and crew in my cabin and singing and cake at dinner from the waiters . We had a fantastic time the staff on this ship were awesome . The restaurant waiters on table 314 @ 7.30pm were amazing they remembered what we liked to dink without asking and knew we liked balsamic vinegar and oil with our bread and it was on ...
SHIP/CABIN: The ship was one of the most beautiful, modern, clean ships we've ever been on. It really is a work of art. Our balcony stateroom was spacious and we loved the shower--strong and correct temperature--which also had one glass door and a foot bar (for shaving). In addition to the spacious closet, there were two roomy drawers and three shelves. Our stateroom attendant, Marino, in ...
I want to start by saying that before this cruise, we last cruised in November 2022, so right about 6 months between cruises. This cruise was definitely at full capacity. The Escape is a larger ship and you can immediately tell that every stateroom was sold out. As you walk along through the different venues it doesn’t seem very crowded but as soon as you go to the outdoor decks and pool area you ...
Took an Anniversary cruise with Norwegian and never again. Neighbors were smoking on there balcony and cruise staff did nothing. The smell of marijuana was all over the place. People were vaping in the hallways and on the pool deck. Food was terrible at the Buffett and dining rooms. They save the good food for Specialty dining. Had pictures of neighbors smoking and staff said we didn't have ...
This was our first time cruising Norwegian. We chose Norwegian because our previous experience with Carnival was so bad. The positives were that the Escape had solid cuisine, good balcony rooms with an obstructed view, and decent entertainment options. However, the walking track was incredibly small and located in a high traffic area. You'll find it challenging to exercise on this cruise ship. ...
Opinions. YMMV.
Tl;dr
Had a good time. Was only disappointed once: the “hold-em” dealer was a grump. Miami to Key West to Cozumel to Miami. Balcony room. Entertainment was fantastic. Food was very good except pizza and Guy’s Burgers. Lots of ship board activities all day. Great for people watching too. The Tulum shore excursion had a LOT of travel by ferry and bus. Husband/Wife very senior ...
We were VERY skeptical when it came to booking a cruise with MSC. We had heard all about the shows being short and lacking depth, the food being substandard, and the service or lack there of being a major issue. Quite honestly our lowest expectations were for the theater shows, which really soared above the rest of the ships entertainment. The theater team has shied away from interpretive dance ...
What an amazing ship! Plenty of activities to chose from. The shows each night were super fun and you could see the talent. You could chose from trivia to karaoke and anything in between. The staff were super friendly and treated us like royalty and some of the places we went to the staff would call you by first name. The excursions were fun. The places where we stopped had so much to do and we ...
