We went on the NCL Escape April 7-14 2018. We were disappointed that our itinerary was changed due to the hurricanes of 2017, especially because other ships were able to go that week. The ship is stunning and we had no bad experiences, it was just our first time on one of the larger ships and we felt it was very crowded. The ropes course was an unexpected highlight of the trip. I was also able to get on the slides one day after coming back to the ship early and those were pretty fun as well. The shows (especially Brat Pack, as I’m a huge fan of the breakfast club) were the best I’ve ever seen on a cruise ship. The service in the restaurants was not the best, but we had a group of 8 people so we mostly understood. We ate in the main dining room for breakfast once and did not do it again, as it took over an hour to get our food. Overall, a fun experience and we feel the pros outweighed the cons, although we may stick to the smaller ships in the future.
