NCL Escape was ready for it's return to service. Yes, there are always complaints about something from some looking for freebies. I had no issues.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
COVID testing at port fast testing, clumsy reporting results for clearance. After an hour wait (CVS states processes 20 minutes), asked about results and was given clearance. NCL port operations 5 star, CVS 2 star.

NCL staffing to provide return cruisers an outstanding cruise. Staff genuinely was happy to see this return, felt valued.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Plenty of activities, ropes lines was also fun to do. Cruise director and staff were also engaged and a good time by all.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Choir of Man, fun show that had me rolling. But, if you're not a British humor fan (Monty Python, Graham Chapman) you may not get it.

Ship tip
I like to take some magnets to hold papers and notes to walls. Makes it easier to post event sheets next to door for scheduled events.
Port great. Excursion was advertised snorkeling on wreck site, no wreck site. I am a certified diver, was planning on snorkeling a wreck, definitely a false narrative.
