Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

My wife and I just returned from the Norwegian Escape after taking a trip over New Years and her birthday. We really love to cruise. This was our first experience with Norwegian and for the record we have been on cruises with Holland America, Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We are comparing to everyone but MSC as we haven't been on their line yet. I perceived Norwegian as an upper ...

If you haven't confirmed, choose another cruise line besides Norwegian!

I cruised on the Norwegian Escape on December 16, 2023. Although this was not my first cruise on Norwegian, it will be my last! I was disappointed with so many aspects of the service provided, that I'm sure I'll forget to mention something. 1. The guest to crew ratio was not conducive to great service. I had a party of 7 and meals in the main dining room were at least 2 hours for each ...

While we haven't been on a cruise for about five years, my husband and I have been avid cruisers for many years. We have cruised on most of the major lines and a couple of the smaller ones. Norwegian has been our line of choice for our last several cruises. We had just found them to be outstanding on food, service, comfort and entertainment. With that being said, now all I can say is "what the ...

We sailed on the Norwegian Escape for the second time (the first one was 4 years ago) and I was very disappointed with the service and the low quality this ship provided. Im usually nit good at complaining and see for the positive side , but this ship did not have . Lets start with the drinking package , since everyone is on it , the drinks are horrible made , of course the bartenders don't care , ...

Worst experience ever for Norwegian. I've traveled 2x before on Norwegian getaway and I must say they need to escape back to Europe or wherever else with this ship

I chose this cruise because it was my vacation and I thought since I did the getaway why not try the Escape. I hated the fact that there was no night club on this ship. The cruise director and his side kick were invisible or at best very mediocre. They had no clue about how to keep so many guests entertained. The DJ on the pool deck and at the bar area at night was horrible. His choice of music ...

Poor Cruise Line

We picked this cruise because of their special amenity package they were offering: unlimited beverages, 2nd cruiser cruises free, $50 credit on shore excursion, 2 specialty dining tickets per guest, and airfare. I've previously cruised with Carnival and Royal Caribbean and I was excited to see what Norwegian had to offer. I'm giving a two-star rating because the staff was friendly and I really ...

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. ...

I did not expect this cruise to be cheap but I didn’t not anticipate it to be THIS expensive. I would have booked with a different cruise line if I had known that the “free” stuff is not actually free at all. I used my credit card points to book this which covered about $1,400 of it. Me and my boyfriend had to pay roughly $1,000 additional each to cover all the taxes, gratuities, and hidden fees ...

Plain and simple - disappointing. To say the least we were very mislead. This was not a cheap vacation and we didn’t expect it to be, but we also expected it to be at least worth what we paid. We chose this cruise because it matched our travel dates, budgets, and it had a great itinerary. We loved the idea of freestyle dining. No set times, no dress codes, and we didn’t have to eat at tables with ...

After waiting 4 hours just to get on the ship, my expectations were pretty low. Finally got on about 4pm and rushed to get food. Staff was trying to rush us to leave for the muster stations but people were still getting onboard. Finally announced that muster was delayed until 5:30pm. Odd that staff was oblivious to the lengthy embarkation. They were so disorganized that they couldn’t even get all ...
