We have always sailed NCL and loved it but it had been a couple of years because of personal issues and it is not the cruise line I remembered.
From embarkation forward it was a series of disorganization, poor service, poor food, unpleasant atmosphere, and irritations.
Arrival/Embarkation:
• arrival transfer drop off at pier was at the far end away from where you drop baggage, people ...
Because it was huge boat and I had been on 6 cruises in my entire life and never on such a huge boat as the escape. So I was eager to have a great experience and it was exactly what I needed and wanted and I recommend this boat to anyone that is having their first cruise experience to choose Norwegian the staff are friendly and very kind and sweet to us. The food was the best and no Complains at ...
we were looking for a short cruise to a warm weather location from nyc. we sailed on the escape before so some crew remembered my wife and I and treated us very nicely. all crew at guest service were very helpful and polite.we dined at la cucina,la bistro and teppanyaki, all were fantastic.Bermuda was a beautiful island and we really enjoyed the beaches. thanks to Mr Roy Steadman for making our ...
This was our first cruise and not our last. We were interested in this cruise because the timing was just right for our schedules. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. It was stormy and the ship was tossing a lot through most of the cruise. Especially towards the end. That didn’t keep people out of the hot tub’s however. And I was able to swim three of the days on the boat. I just had to ...
My husband and I booked this cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversary, our first vacation without children in many many years. We had previously sailed with Norwegian and the timing on this trip worked out perfectly, plus we like the option to sail from New York.
Embarkation was a little disorganized, only because of the gangways that had been damaged in a storm the week previous. That being ...
Poor communication with passengers. The daily schedule tells you no reservations are needed for shows, the TV tell you the same but when you click on the venue it says it is sold out! Never got to see any shows. Also the specialty dining was completely booked by the first day! We had a mini-suite that was way smaller than our regular suite on RCL in January! The chairs on the minuscule balcony we ...
I heard Escape is a good ship so went on it. Very bad don't go on Escape take some other ship or cruise line. Food is bad I am not picky, still had trouble to find what to eat. Ate cause had to eat s.t. tasteless food, over cooked. Basically every day same menu omelet, chicken, pork, pastries mostly terrible. Tried other dining options same thing over cooked, salty and I am not picky one but ...
I really liked this vacation. We sailed right out of New York harbor, right past the Statue of Liberty at sunset. The food in the specialty dining venues was really great and Le Bistro was spectacular. We also enjoyed Savor and Taste and thought the food was just amazing. The menu changed every night and there was always a high-quality and interesting fish option. The room was quiet and the ...
Last minute cruise booked for my husband and I to relax and get away from it all for a while. We chose this cruise to go with friends. The friends were already booked, we booked 3 weeks before the cruise and reserved a Guarantee Balcony room. We chose it because there was no airfare involved and the ease of the planning/getting to and from the ship. The dining was good, we truly enjoyed ...
This was the worst cruise experience ever!!! The service was terrible from room cleaning to bar service. The attitude on board was horrible. We were sent through lightning storms and rough seas for 6 out of seven days. Arrived to Bermuda a day late with no explanation. Rained and stormed all but one day where we were told to be back on ship by 2:30. Why this ship was not redirected to another port ...
