Review summary

Both times I've been on the Escape it's been great. The crew is awesome. If they offer day spa passes it is worth the money.

The cabin needs an update. We had issues with the bathroom.

Ship tip

Don't go on the ship believing every part of the ship is packed. Wander around the 1st or day you will find quiet spots.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Our ship was stuck outside the port for 5hrs because of an accident at the port. NCL let us stay in our cabins for most of the day. They also opened areas around the ship to make this unprecedented situation better.
