We have had a great vacation but ship is 3* at best
"The food has been plentiful (it's a cruise ship) and good (a little bland sometimes), we have eaten in the buffet, all 3 main dining rooms, Tepanyaki (twice), Cagney's and La Cucina.Bar staff appear untrained in anything not on the menu (I asked in 2 bars at different times for a French Martini......."Read More

It was okay...

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

This was my seventh cruise and my fifth NCL cruise. We had a balcony room near the back of the boat on the 11th floor. The room was quiet and the room and balcony are exactly what I had expected of a newer large NCL or RCI ship, I've always discounted reviews of others when they posted negative reviews of food. I'm not a particularly 'foodie' type person. I will clarify my thoughts by saying ...

Great job Norwegian Escape!

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Escape

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 ...

First cruise ever

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

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 ...

NCL ESCAPE CRUISE REVIEW

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Escape

VillageAuthor
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My husband and I cruise often with NCL. This was our second time on the Escape. It was my sister and brother-in-law's first cruise on NCL. They were impressed with the ship, staff, and overall activities. My sister and I have Celiac disease and must be on a gluten-free diet. As always, I requested a gluten-free diet. I never had a problem until this cruise. At the Cruise Critic Meet and Greet, ...

Lovely Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Escape

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This is our 4th Norwegian cruise and my husband and I have cruised 30+ times. We decided to take another Norwegian cruise, after the past two years of not so great of an experience on Carnival. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and had a lovely time. *Food was delicious and expertly prepared; including on the buffet. Food on our past two cruises with Carnival was truly terrible / some inedible ...

Disregard the negative reviews

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

HRFMe
First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

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 ...

Escape is not the ship for us...but still fun

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

djpk2003
2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

This was our first time on one of NCL's larger ships - and may be our last. The layout of the Escape leaves something to be desired, because when ship is at full capacity it's hard to even walk properly on some decks. We spent over an hour trying to find just two chairs together on any deck on the sea days - and I'm not exaggerating. The atrium area gets so crowded for shows that you cannot even ...

Beautiful Ship but much too overcrowded

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Escape

Unclejoe1
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

After sailing on RCL Odyssey of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas we noticed a definite decline in the quality of the food, the cabin service and certain alcohol selections. While RCL has diminished it's food quality in exchange for a "Quick Meal Menu" NCL"s food selections and actual preparation with attention to taste is far superior. RCL's cabin service has been cut down from daily to once a ...

Dissapointing Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Escape

Tripper57
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because we were able to make it work for all six of us in our group. The entertainment offerings were sorely lacking. The only show that we enjoyed was The Choir of Man, and that show was only available a couple evenings. We ate in the dining room “Savor” three times, at “Teppanyaki” once, “Moderno” twice and “The supper Club” once. The food was good everywhere except at ...
