Review summary

The cruise was great. We had awesome weather and 2 other couples joined us. We are planning another cruise to Bermuda next year but we want to get on the new ship " The Encore " first.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

1st cruise out of NY. Expected it to be a nightmare. People were everywhere. It was very busy but things kept moving and we were checked in and walking on the ship in 1hr I was impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We dined at 3 of the specialty restaurants, the food was great. I really think our first time at Cagney's would have been better with a better waiter. Ours was very forgetful. Had to remind him about orders several times, got to be really annoying. Food was great, atmosphere was great, guest was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff works very hard and tries to please cruisers as best as possible. They seem to be under a lot of pressure to get things done right. I think they do a great job.!! Some people come on the ship ready to complain at a moments notice. Unless it's something that's really really bad and just unacceptable............ I just keep it moving I've come to enjoy myself. :)

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

This was our 3rd cruise on The Escape. We love this ship and the New Bliss. This cruise was our 6th NCL cruise and was to Bermuda, absolutely awesome!! I did notice that you could smell some of the bathrooms more in the corridor than usual on this cruise. I'm assuming because we were docked for 3days and they were not dumped as frequently as being at sea.(Just a guess)

Cabin / Stateroom

I'm 6'5" - The room was workable for 7 days. Our steward did a great job with keeping things tidy.
