Review summary

this was a spectacular, beautiful cruise that exceeded expectations. This cruise was wonderful enough that we will convert to NCL over Royal Caribbean, (with whom we have cruised 6 times)!! Will recommend to others.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
food was exquisite, ship was pristine and well decorated, clean, but singing staff at Garden Cafe was annoying after day 2, from then on we all get "washy, washy "so just indicate or SAY it. On the whole, staff was excellent

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Sydney Norman at Pour House should be headliners or given larger venue, Malevo was excellent.(venues need patrolled for cell phone people recording shows and generally being obnoxious during shows ruining for others)

5 out of 5

Ship tip

be prepared to wait in confusion for your shore excursions, management needs to instigate better more orderly demarcation for them and insist on people not block aisles, etc. for timely departures.

Thanks for your review, agree the Escape is an excellent ship. Would have loved to have seen Malevo but unfortunately it wasn’t on during our cruise. Glad you had a great time.
