Review summary

This was a wonderful cruise from start to finish even though it was shortened due to the hurricane. It is our second time on the Escape. We did a eastern Caribbean last October loved every minute of it as well. I can't say enough about how professionally NCL handled the whole situation. The safety of the passengers and crew was always first and foremost. We look forward to doing another western Caribbean at some point and finishing the itinerary.

We went to Big French Key (booked through NCL) and it was just stunning. I highly recommend this excursion, Our tour guide gave us the history of his beautiful island to and from the beach. They had lunch for us and two drink tickets.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We opted to disembark when the ship returned to port. With the hurricane looming NCL and customs streamlined disembarkation for those of us that arranged transportation. They had coach busses lined up to take us to the airport. The whole process was extremely well handled for such a crazy situation.
