Review summary
This was our 2 nd cruise on NCL Escape and first transatlantic. We were not disappointed with the food except for Prime Rib night at O'Sheenan's. The meat was very tough. Menus have been slightly changed for the better since our last cruise. We found that we needed to be precise with especially breakfasts. Like ask for specific number if toasts and request jam, etc. This is quite ok as we have seen many people wasting so much in the past as well as stuffing purses with tea packets, sugar, jams, little cereal boxes.. All shore excursions were well coordinated. All in all, excellent trip!Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Manhattan Room
Bigger than Taste and Savor so expect more activity around you. The food and service were excellent. Taste, Savor and The Manhattan all have the same menu
Taste
Same as Savor
Le Bistro
Wat better than expected. Didn't want to go because our experiences at Le Bistro on 2 other NCL cruises was disappointing. We tried this one with low expectations but we're incredibly surprised. Had the lamb which was fantastic
Teppanyaki
Fun and good. Did this the first night and were seated with a few people that had too much to drink. The chef handled it well and all ended well.
Bayamo by Ocean Blue
Excellent food and service
The Cellars - A Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar
On our first visit, we were warmly greeted and served well. We attended a wine and cheese pairing which was amazing
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
We did the mojito tasting which was a delight
Savor
Excellent. Would be better if late diners were placed in proximity of each other to avoid the hustle and bustle of re-setting tables and cleaning
O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill
Excellent for a good and quick breakfast, lunch or snacks.
La Cucina
Sooooo good! Great service
Food Republic
Sushi was excellent as well as service
Cagney's Steakhouse
Excellent food and service
Onboard Activities
Mandara Spa & Salon
Good massage with somewhat of a face treatment. Not a full facial. A bit pricey, I found.
Entertainment
Spice H20
Nice and quiet. I wish there were more signs indicating that this area is designated as a quiet zone at certain times
