Review summary

Very pleased with this experience. I do recommend this ship and this itinerary. Take advantage of the specialty restaurants and Norwegian's excursions.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth & efficient. I like that we were met at the drop-off point by the ship's porters who tagged out bags at that point and delivered them to our stateroom.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were first class. Very pleased with the main dining room.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
All activity centers were crowded, but always managed to get a spot.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The quality of the entertainment was fantastic and there was a variety. All performers very talented. The only criticism is that they seemed to schedule the major entertainment performances at the same times. Also, they needed to promote Syd Norman's Pour House band much more - they gave us fantastic performances.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All so good - attentive, personable, responsive, friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
With the casino in the middle of everything, you do smell cigarette smoke fairly often. The ship was vey clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Thumbs up on all three counts.

Ship tip

It was a wonderful cruise. I highly recommend cruising on the Escape. The ship is large, a lot of passengers. Be prepared. It wasn't a problem for us. We met a lot of friendly cruisers and really enjoyed our onboard and excursion experiences in that regard.

Beach day. Lounges fill up quickly. The buffet was a bit far from where we sat. A little confusing getting settled in. Beach area was very pretty,

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
A little delayed and confusing. Lots of people and long lines, moved through quickly though.
