Review summary

What a great ship to cruise on, I believe the best and most friendliest staff are on this ship. There is always some kind of entertainment activity going on so if your are board it's because you did not consult your daily activities schedule. The ship is always being cleaned and when you disembark at a port the outside of the ship looks like new. They really work hard to earn your business. So if your want a great cruise look for a week on the Escape.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Terrible, just terrible (Port of Miami's fault)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main Dinning room is always great even though it is bust in the Manhattan room the staff and the hosts make you feel special and keep up with the personal service. I only used the Manhattan room for dinner service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We opted for the spa, buy it on line before the cruse and save big. There was music and some kind of show everywhere, just fine the band/show you like.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The ships musicians were excellent just fine the band(s)/musician(s) you like and follow them. They were all EXCELLENT.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I can't say enough about the staff. From the those that keep the place clean and the officers that greet you along the way, all were friendly happy and had a big smile. We bumped into GM Depak everywhere and he always had a smile and a handshake ready, The same can be said for Kivanc Ucar the Food and Beverage director, and Emilio Rodrigo the Head of House keeping. All excellent people who help to make our trip so special.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I wish the public areas were a bit larger like Royal Caribbean ie: the pool deck. There must be something NCL can do about the smoke drifting off the deck 7 area where the open Casino is, it stinks all the way down to deck 5.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin is comparable to Royal or Princess.

Ship tip

Any troubles you run into please put in writing to the GM, that's what the box is for at the service desk, don't try to talk to someone, write it out and believe me they will do all they can to get you back on track to having fun.

Every cruise is as good as you make it. There is no reason on Earth for anyone to be board providing they can read and tell time. When you get to the terminal, just decide that your going to have the time of your life ...and you will!! Just dance dance dance!! But be careful not to drink TOO much alcohol either. If you get dehydrated you will be all kinds of sorry. Somehow when your on a cruise, muscle cramps can be common if you don't drink enough water. Stay hydrated...with WATER!
