Review summary

I've been on 3 cruises; My first was Carnival, my second was Royal, and my third was this one, the Norwegian Escape. This was definitely the nicest ship I've been on. All of the eating areas are beautiful (bar the buffet, but it was still very nice for what it was trying to be). The bars/lounges were very nice as well. The pool area was great, but it would have been nice if they followed their own rule of "Adults only until 5:00pm". The number of kids in the pool/hot tub during the day could sometimes get out of hand. However, this is the first cruise ship that I actually enjoyed the waterslides on. As for the entertainment, there was always something to do. Between great musicians, comedians, broadway style plays, and random events going on, you'd be hard pressed to find yourself bored. The random events (Battle of the sexes, Mr. Sexy Legs Contest, etc.) were a lot of fun, in part due to how great Tyler, the cruise director was. All of the other staff helping him were also a ton of fun. The night life on the ship was pretty good. Typically a large party going up in the adult lounge at night, with an after party in one of the clubs in the ship. If you're looking for a good time at night, you'll always find one. Overall, a great experience. If I had one other complaint, I would say that I liked the more personal relationships I developed with the staff on Royal. While the staff on this ship was really great, they still don't compare to Royals. Everything else was better though, in my opinion.

Great review. We are sailing out of Miami on September 9th on the Escape. Did you do any excursions? Our ports are Nassau st Thomas and Tortola island. We've been to Nassau and will probably stay on the ship that day. Are the beaches close to the ship in Tortola island or st. Thomas? This will only be our second cruise. Any helpful hints or tips you could pass along would be great! Sounds like you had a great time. We are ecstatic about going.
