In 2015 my best friend and I cruised on the Norwegian Breakaway. Till this day, it is one of my best vacations ever. Due to my great time on that ship, I expected the same fun across all ships. I did some research on Cruise Critic and found mixed reviews. I had a feeling that this may be more relaxing than fun. I was almost correct.

Prior to embarkation day, I had the misfortune of seeing the many videos of the Escape tilting and the reactions.

Speaking of...I do not appreciate the aggressive product "recommendations" after the service. I almost cursed the lady out and I'm not even about that life. Anyway, it would have been proper for the captain to make an announcement so that people like me could actually sleep through the night without panic attacks. One lady I met in a bathroom said she was literally screaming. Another said that this is her 30th cruise and it was the first time she's gotten sick. With a heads up precautions could have been taken.

He trash mixes could bring about world peace the way we all complained together in unity. The overall staff was okay but not amazing. Our room steward was literally the best. Daytime activities were great if you're 60 and up. Actually I take that back because we met a couple in that age range and they were PISSED. I will say that the weather was to blame for cancelled poolside entertainment but backup indoor options should have been created. I did a yoga class and I've done yoga enough times to know this man had no idea what he was doing. Read more
