Review summary

The Norwegian Escape is a beautiful ship with much to offer just about anyone who boards. The food is amazing and overall I enjoyed being out and about in the sun during the week before Christmas. What I hadn't anticipated were the crowds - I understand this is a big ship but there were simply too many people everywhere. I also felt this put a strain on the staff that worked their butts off catering to the hoards gorging themselves at the buffet while their children ran wild. I cruised on the Norwegian Epic last year and felt that while the ships are fairly equal in size, the overall service, staff attentiveness, and general demeanor of the guests was far better on the Epic. I will definitely cruisebwith Norwegian again but on a smaller ship next time.

The porter was less than attentive and while he did his job of cleaning the room, the attention to detail and follow up was lacking.
