Review summary

Totally fun, awesome, we didn't know what to expect because it was our first cruise. NCL didn't disappoint. From beginning to end it was wonderful! We're planning our next cruise right now! Thanksgiving this will be our tradition! We're trying to cruise at least twice a year minimum now!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Lights, Camera, Action! Alvin and Rashida were the life of the party! I will never forget this cruise!! Washy Washy! I love when we were re boarding from Nassau and the music was playing for us to get back on the ship! They had a soul train line and of course you know I had to pull out all my moves!! I love the Battle of the Sexes and the Live band and Music!!! Ever where I turned fun, entertainment for days, morning, noon and night!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The housekeeping manager for the 9th floor was AWESOME! I feel horrible because I know her name started with R and she was from Nicaragua. I have never felt so at home and ease! Every single crew member was professional, detailed oriented and kind!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I have never seen such detail to making sure ones guests health is their NUMBER 1 priority! Washy Washy, Hand sanitizer is every where, fresh rags before re boarding the ship, refreshment drinks, etc.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect for our family. We had to stateroom with balcony. Also, 9168 as well. I heard live music in the afternoon and the evening as well.

We do the same, cruise every Thanksgiving and now New Years too. And Norwegian seems to have best entertainment (been on all major lines multiple times) but Epic (Norwegian) is not a good ship it almost stopped us from ever doing Norwegian again. Thanks to New years cruise 2017 escape that all changed.

Great review! I agree, I thought Alvin did a great job and made for a really fun week. Escape is probably my favorite ship
