Review summary

Very disappointing being on the ship, the ports of call were the best part, the gym was also a bright spot. Need more more wait staff for food and drinks.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Couldn't get a drink, Wait staff ignores you. No Pizza bar, food was OK at buffet. La Cucina was very good and great service by Gary. Cagneys OK.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not bad, but some people need more romantic activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Not enough dancing areas with good dance music. Need better entertainers in the band category. NO COMEDY ACTS!

Service and Staff

@mec9emb. I’ve been on 2 NCL cruises. Escape and Epic. I just love it. Love the freestyle cruising. I booked a cruise on the Escape in 2018 and one on the Epic in 2019. Don’t worry. You’ll have a great time. Unfortunately, there’s always some people that can never be happy and can’t enjoy what’s being offered to them. So. Let them be. Don’t let them ruin your cruise. Go with a smile. Relax. Enjoy. You’ll have a great cruise. 🛳🍹☀️🎉⚓️

Disappointed being on the ship? Please be more specific because it doesn’t make sense. You booked the cruise, you chose the ship.
