Review summary

Imagine winning the $500.00 Park West Gallery Art Auction Grand Raffle but get nothing for it? That's what happened to us. The $500.00 grand raffle was drawn after the last auction. Park West Gallery Art Director Boris on the Escape tells us there is nothing we can put our winning $500.00 to unless we want to spend $400.00-$500.00 out of our own money. There were many items auctioned off for $500.00 and less. Park West Gallery is a scam, STAY AWAY!

1 out of 5

Cabins were not ready until we left NYC.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food not prepared properly. All fish and meat over cooked. Vegetables under cooked. Beans in soups were raw hard beans thrown in.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

What kind of cruise ship that leaves NYC has no canopy for pool? The NCL Escape.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Most shows were just OK. Some we couldn't get in because you needed to make reservations.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most were friendly and helpful. Some were just plain rude.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The design of NCL Escape is horrible. Not enough public space. Only 2 small pools for ALL the cruisers. The casino and dance areas are open to everyone including children.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The beds and sheets need to be replaced.

Ship tip

Stay away from NCL and Park West Gallery.

Park west is the worst. However it seems that is the real reason for this review. Sorry they put a sour taste on your mouth for NCL. Fun fact they are on most major cruise ships not just NCL, and screw everyone over.

All art on any cruise is a scam. If you buy any just have it valued at home and see how much you get ripped off
