Review summary

Perfect for kids. Enjoyed the aqua park. In port everyday so pool area not busy. Did not like having to book dining and entertainment. Always liked Ncl as freestyle cruising. This was not.

Booking before you cruise works great on NCL. I love their freestyle approach to cruising! 4th NCL cruise set for January. Can’t wait!

Did you book once you were on the ship or before boarding??

We booked a couple dining places on NCL Escape. I assume there would be long lines/wait without a booking system. 🍹⛵🌴

I get what you are saying and can relate 2nd NCL's freestyle cruising is what draws me to them. But in NCL defense, this booking ahead for shows and dining helps cut down on your wait time. Remember this is a ship that holds over 4000 passengers. Can you imagine the lines to get into a show or dinner if they did have this in place? I think it was an ingenious idea and it works smoothly. If once your on board and see you can't make your scheduled time, you can always check or another time or day right from interactive tv or show up and hope to be seated in the stand-by line.
