This is our 8th cruise overall and our 7th since the newer class of ships have been coming out about the last 10 years. We are also new to the Norwegian cruise company as we took our first cruise just about 5 months before this one which was in July on the NCL Escape. The two ships are almost identical with just a few features and options, but both ships are beautiful and amazing and are mega size ...

First time on this cruise. The first show of the cruise had a charge of 45$ per person, food not very tasty, beds, are not very comfortable. Gym is free but for the rest you have to pay. 245$ for using the Spa (steam/salt/sauna) Complementary restaurants are ok, but only 5, VERY STRONG SMELL of cigarette on deck 6 to 8 (nasty) Chairs on sun deck were always locked, boat rocked a lot, they ...

Good Food, Weak Entertainment

We decided to try the NCL line after many years of absence. We are a mature couple more aligned to celebrity and Oceania, having cruised since 1980 and we were looking forward to the Escape because of its association with Frank Del Rio from Oceania, and the food showed it. We opted for 6 nights of specialty restaurants and the UDP, both great ideas. The room on 12 was ok and fit our needs, no ...

Good cruise. Very small balcony - but good enough. Very narrow hallways - but good enough. Food was great. Second night at sea was seafood at the buffet - don't miss it, the shrimp was great and plentiful. The Tropicana dining room had a dance floor and some enjoyable entertainment. The shows were terrific. We went back a second time to enjoy them again... "Burn the Floor" and ...

Super Comfortable Bed, but Mold in the Bathroom

Positives: Staff was very cordial, until the last day when some seemed to be in a bad mood. Maybe they were going to miss us? Drink plan was a good value. Internet, while expensive, worked. Cereal in individuals serving size boxes was a big plus. Bed was super-comfortable Embarking and disembarking was smooth. Negatives: This ship should be retired, seriously. The majority ...

I have cruised approximately 50 times. On small ships and very big ships such as the Oasis...In fact I have cruised frequently on NCL and we are "Platinum" members as of this last cruise...Frankly, that is what I want it to be...my last cruise on NCL... They called us several days before the cruise telling us to get there early because there was going to be heavy traffic...there wasn't and when ...

We sailed on the Escape with our family who ranged from five years old to 82 years old. Embarkment was a breeze. We had check in from 10 to 1030 and I think we waited until about 1130 to board. We walked around the ship until sailaway. When we sailed on get away they had the party on the back of the ship which was great because there was quite a bit of room for this Sail away we were in ...

I had been through the canal six times on the USS Boston (three tours of duty in VN) and wanted my wife to see the canal. We watched from the lounge and it proved to be a wonder for all the folks that were in with us. We ate most of our meals in the buffet and the food was outstanding. We did not go into Colon because there just wasn't anything that tickled our fancy. The timing was ...

Very confused in peoples reviews of the Norwegian escape. Many things can go wrong with a trip but you have to go with it and enjoy. My biggest joy about this ship was the staff. Many of the reviews I've read make comments on how horrible the staff was and that they seemed very unhappy. All I have to say about that is " treat people how you expect to be treated ". Every staff member I experienced ...

Jamaica/Cayman Islands/Cozumel 6 day cruise

Normally this is a 7 day cruise that goes to Bahamas. We opted for the 6 day so we could take a couple days pre-departure and check out Key West. If I had to rate the cruise I would give it a B- We hired a private tour for Jamaica which was not bad - $100 for 2 plus tip and we got a great overview of the island, plus lunch. Cayman Islands we did a public tour - when you get off the ship there ...
