Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food at dining rooms and buffet were very good, although NCL really needs to provide better quality coffee. The "free" coffee tasted awful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Overall good, but some staff members showed unhappy face and some looked overworked.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship is relatively new and that is the good part. We don't like where the casino was located. It was at the center of everything with a lot of smoke. That is the a great idea. Also the "public" quiet area for adults seemed to be limited comparing to RC's Anthem. There are too many bars and smoking areas on Escape.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The room and bed were OK, although the mattress smelled a little. The next door individuals smoked all the time on their balcony so we had to close our balcony door a lot of times.
