Had a fantastic time on this cruise! Myself and husband in our 40's. Two teenage daughters 16,17.
Rooms- We had a balcony cabin which was perfect. A little smaller than RC or carnival but still great! We only slept here and got ready.
Our kids had an inside cabin across the hall (ish). It was nice but of course they hated not having a window or door especially because they never knew what ...
This was my first Norwegian cruise an I enjoyed every minute. The cruise staff was excellent and so accommodating and friendly . I’ve been on over 12 cruises and I have to say, it’s the best so far. The food was excellent with so many delicious choices.
I looked forward to hopping up to the bar at Spice H20. Jerry and Vitas were the most fun and friendly bartenders I ever met. They were so ...
Since I used this site to read reviews prior to our cruise I wanted to be sure to leave a review of my own. We were a group of 13. Everything went very well. There is not one thing I would complain about. Reading some of the previous reviews it seems that some people like to complain about petty things. During our cruise we witnessed some of those people. One guest returned to his table with a ...
I highly recommend the escape for your next or very first cruise. I had my very first cruise on this ship and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jack the cruise director and his staff were super engaged with passengers which made going to different events very enjoyable. I recommend booking the Mexican cuisine workshop and tasting at Playa Mia in Cozumel it was my favorite excursion that I ...
This was our first cruise and NCL has made us return customers. I had read some of the reviews on this site prior to sailing and was a little concerned! After our 7 days, there was absolutely nothing bad enough that would keep us from coming back.
The highs: the staff, the activities for kids (ours are 2 & 4), the rooms, the cleanliness, the constant cleaning, the food, the itinerary, ship ...
This ship surpassed all of our expectations. Ports were awesome, St. Thomas was beautiful and so was Great Stirrup Cay. DR port had a great pool and lazy river. Not too many food options that were not American faves at ports, so we just ate back on the ship! Tortola was nice for shopping, did not do excursion or beach there. Pool could be bigger.
The Food and service was the best we have ...
This was cruise #9 for me, #6 with Norwegian and my first time on the Escape. This was a full-occupancy+ cruise, with ~4800 passengers and 1600 crew. The Breakaway class is really the perfect balance of everything you need in cruising and the ship’s public spaces are big enough that you never feel crowded.
Check-in at the port was a breeze. I basically did not stop moving, with staff helpfully ...
I usually cruise Virgin (2x) , and i needed a getaway on something different. NCL Escape was so much fun,as soon as you find where you're going. Food was good,too . I only ate at The Garden Cafe. There was plenty for everyone there . Entertainment was top notch. The 2 comedians i saw,and especially the Fleetwood Mac band and The quartet ' Blue Travelers' They were amazingly good. I loved the vibe ...
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 ...
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 ...
