Review summary

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM NCL ITSELF IS TERRIBLE AS THEY ROUTINELY MIS INFORM REGARDING THE SHIP, ONBOARD SERVICES. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. WE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE COMPANY AND THEY JUST BLEW THEM OFF.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
THE SIZE WAS CLEARLY FALSELY ADVERTISED BY NCL AS 331 SQ FT FOR THE ROOM ITSELF, WITH A BALCONY OF 124 SQ FT, WHEN IN FACT THE ROOM WAS ONLY 207 SQ FT. INFORMATION FROM NCL INDICATES THAT ROOMS IN THE CLUB SUITE CLASS ARE BETWEEN 251-513 SQ FT, WITH BALCONIES IN A RANGE AS WELL. THIS FROM NCL'S WEBSITE REGARDING CRUISES ON THE ESCAPE FOR 2023, AND WHAT WE RELIED ON FOR OUR CRUISE.

Ship tip

BE WARY OF ANYTHING CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS, THEY ARE PAID TO EXTRACT MONEY, NOT PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL TRY AND CHARGE YOU FOR PRIORITY DISEMBARKATION, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY FOR THIS AS YOU ARE REQUIRED TO VACATE YOUR ROOM BY 8:30 AM, AND THERE IS NO BAR TO LEAVING THE SHIP AS EARLY AS YOU WANT.
