Review summary

This trip was so amazing. It was our very first cruise. No more driving on land for us to get rid of the stress. This is the way to unwind from life!! From the moment we booked, till the day we got home, it was fantastic. We can't wait to go on a another adventure. We met so many great people. Everything was top notch. Definitely recommend the unlimited drink package because you're gonna need it. Our favorite place on the cruise was Tortola and going to Cane Garden Bay Beach. Our favorite excursion was the Sea Trek in St. Thomas. Definitely want to stay within the Norwegian family for our adventures. We absolutely felt like king and queen of the ship. By the end we were all like family with the crew. I miss the people already. Memories that will last a lifetime for sure. Especially want to say "Thank You!" to Kevin Davis for all of his help in booking our trip. I highly recommend him when booking your vacation.

So much room. We were so happy with our accommodations. Always fresh towels, the beds were always made, restroom was clean, and as a nice little surprise, animal shaped gifts on the bed made from the towels and wash cloths. Reina was amazing. Sunset and sunrises are amazing from this room.

Ship tip

Just have fun. Get to know others because you will make new lifelong friends. The crew love Please and Thank You's. Don't be in a hurry to do everything in 1 day. Go to at least 1 party. Do dress up at dinner. Definitely check out the Art Gallery. Get to the port early before sailing.

Go to Coral World Ocean Park and definitely do the Sea Trek. It's Amazing. Coki Beach is overcrowded so avoid it.

Cane Bay Beach was FANTASTIC!!!! Worth the trip to go this far out away from the city. If you see a lady named Tamara, be sure to say Hello. She makes a great drink.

Stay away from Cabbage Beach. Always someone in your face trying to sell you something. if Going to the Straw Market, bring lots of cash and don't forget to bargain with them.

Cruising isn't for everyone, but it is soooooo for us!!!! Got hooked on my honeymoon 15 years ago....We've been on 40+ cruises since then, now we cruise for free all the time, lol!!! The Escape is a very beautiful ship, we were on her in May of this year :)

Cruising is definitely addictive. My favorite type of vacation. I am glad to hear the Escape is a great ship. I will be sailing on it in November. It will also be my first NCL cruise.

Yes, Bong was on there back in February. He was at the Mojito Bar for most of our trip. I did see him at the pool bar a few times as well.
