First time cruiser. The Escape is a huge ship but not crowded by any means. There was soo much to do and the staff was very courteous to everyone. First stop was Falmouth, the city outside the gate is in bad shape, the people are poor but we did a food tour and our guides were awsome ( Steve and Sherilee ) We liked it very much, they gave us a tase of Jamaica with a big bite of history. The rest ...
Very crowded compared to our only other cruise experience - hence crowded & noisy. We found open chaises in the sun only ONE out of the 5 cruise days - unacceptable. Pool water was cold so we didn't go in at all - BIG disappointment - future deal-breaker. Adult pool was so crowded we never got in once. The kid pool wasn't so crowded, but cold. Drinks were hard to get from the bars - very crowded, ...
We chose this cruise because last year we were on the Carnival Glory docked in St Thomas next to the Escape and I told my Wife we need to get on that ship. The size kind of scared me when you read the reviews but honestly the only real problem is people saving chairs with beach towels for hours but no problem for me I have no problem taking the chairs when no one is truly using them. The service ...
Embarkation/debarkation were both terrible. This cruise was designed to extract every possible dollar from you. $235.00 just to use the spa, $7.95 for room service, in room movies $10.00. 10 dining venues with extra charges for dining. The casino was 25 times larger than the main pool. Main pool was so jammed with people that they placed chairs on the jogging track. Elevators always totally ...
`this cruise was complimentary from Akwasasne Casino in our area.
`We usually go with Royal Caribbean however NCL is very up to par.
`The pool was a bit small but I believe this was to accomodate the seating. What i really appreciated was the staff would see a chair with 'saved' towels on them, they would sticker them with a time and in 1 hour remove the items on that chair if the person ...
We chose this cruise because we had a limited amount of time and wanted to take our (young adult) kids on a cruise. I was a little concerned because of a number of the negative reviews and the fact that the weather can be chancy in February, but decided to go for it.
I booked an OV room for myself and my husband, and one for our son and his girl friend. I got the offer to bid up, and we bid ...
This is my 7th cruise and my first on Norwegian and this is my fav so far. You can't beat free open bar. How amazing! I went with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday with a weekend getaway. We found the ship one of the easiest to navigate. The BEST part of this cruise was the entertainment! We did about 4 activities every night from dodgeball, to bingo, to the audience participation shows, ...
This was our sixth cruise and first with the Norwegian line. The Open Bar was fantastic and there were so many bars we really never waited for drinks. The staff walked around and served drinks poolside and in the evenings during the shows. With that said, the food was not the quality I have had on other lines. We felt the food was below average in the buffet and main dining rooms. We did not ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the open bar. The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. Getting on the ship took only about 30-40 minutes wahich was not too bad. Getting off the ship was quick. They even served a full breakfast with beverages on the disembark day. It was nice to feel pampered on the last day. This has never happened on the 6 cruises I have been on :) ...
We love being at sea and this cruise offered several at sea days. We wanted to see the Panama Canal again and like the smaller ships. Wonderful promenade to power walk or stroll at night. Ships personnel were very pleasant and polite. Food was excellent with many different dishes to choose from as well as the specialty restaurants. With our suite we had a concierge who took care of all our needs ...
