Review summary

Everything was very nice, and clean. Food was Excellent. Only drawback was the guy in the teen club. He needs to be placed elsewhere on the ship, and the bus service charging us to take us to George town! Cruise director way to LOUD. Could have had more things going on around the pool. Ship store's were very high priced.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was very good, and hot. Main dinningroom was very, very slow. My fav. special restaurant was Le Bistro. The Escargo was Excellent. Did not care for Food Republic. Thought F/R was under our special dinning package. Waiter said no, so we got up and left. Did not like the fact, having to order on computer.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We have traveled many cruiselines. I found the the Escape did NOT keep things going around the pool. I know weather was not up to par, but your cruise director could have done a better job at keeping things going. Band was suppose to start at 11:45 on one day and it was over an hour late. Cruise director was way too loud and annoying. Royal caribbean keeps things going around the pool. Never a dull moment with Royal.

There was one guy in your teen club, that kept giving my daughter a hard time. He had said something not very nice to her, so she said it back to him thinking they were jokeing around, and he was not nice back to her. You should not have someone working with teens, that can't handle a little fun, and takes his athority over the top. Give this guy a different job on the ship! Maybe down in the Laundry. He shouldn't work with the public.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone in this area was very nice, all except the one guy in the Entourage Teen Lounge, and your cruise director screaming and being too loud. Need more activities around pool.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean. Did not like how chopped up the ship was.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Did not like that the extra large Balcony was sticking out where everyone else with balcony's above us could look down and see your every move. Loved the large bathroom. Otherwise room was nice. Expected a liitle more for being a Mini-Suite.

Ship tip

It was a very nice ship. Did not like how chopped up it was. Could have had more fun around the pool area. Ship store's very $$$$.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Everything went very smooth. Very nice port. Beautiful leaving port and coming back in, in the early morning darkness was very Beautiful with the city lit up! This Miami port is way better than Houston/Galvaston TX port.

Falmouth, Jamaica Did not visit port

Port would not let us in, as winds were 75 mph.

George Town, Grand Cayman

2 out of 5
We did NOT like that we were let off away from Gerogetown, had to take a bus. Thought bus was NCL, but when we got off the buss the man charged us for the trip into town and back. We were not told of this before hand.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Loved Cozumel. Always have. Great shopping, good food and fun times there.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
All of us LOVED great Stirrup Cay. It would be nice to have NCL offer a cruise to GSC, then have a couple of days to spend on the beach there. Maybe condo's would be nice in the future. Loved that they had food and drink for us. Loved having different bands playing. My only complaint is that your venders did not deal on their goods, and the water was too COLD. Other than that, it was perfect!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It went very fast. Loved how quick everything went.
