7 Night Western Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 13, 2017

Ship: Norwegian Escape

Cabin type: Oceanview

Cabin number: 13702

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 7 years ago

Review summary

The ship has very limited elevators, and water is not included in the beverage package, and several people had given different information, and don't like the fact that 3/4 of the restaurants on the ship you had to pay additional fees. We did like our excursions, and plenty to do on the ship, and food was good.

I was pleasantly surprised of the good size of the room, and storage.

Ship tip

water is not included in the drink package, and on this ship, most the amenities were at the back of the ship.

It was weird that the wines in the buffet were not included in the beverage package. I could've gone out to get a full $14 glass from any bar and walked it into the buffet, but I was charged $4 for a 1/2 glass in the buffet.

Who has room for water after throwing back drinks all week? I barely got down two cups of coffee in the morning.

3 nights of speciality dining is free if you choose it.

NCL, along with almost all other cruise lines, have every thing listed or on their web site for what is included and what is extra. You should do your research ahead of time so you know what to expect.
