Review summary

This was a last minute booked cruise and we enjoyed it immensely. We cannot comment on the ports because we never got off the ship. It was fully booked but it did not feel super crowded. The staff was great and overall the trip was awesome. The only issues we had were that we are platinum with NCL and noticed that interior rooms do not receive the same attentive service that we normally receive when we are in a balcony or suite and that the buffet was not as varied as it use to be serving the same dishes daily for breakfast and lunch which consisted of a lot of pork which we do not eat. This by no means will stop us from continuing to cruise with NCL as we are booked for 4 cruises next year.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

For the most part the food was good. My only problem is that my husband and I do not eat pork and usually this is not an issue but this time there was not a lot of pork free options in the buffet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We always get the spa package and it was money well spent. We went every day for hours.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was an interior cabin which we normally do not do. It was a little small but it was clean and served its purpose.

Ship tip

Explore the ship and take part in as many activities as possible.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Wish last minute cruising was an option for us. If the cruise fares are low the air fares seem to be high. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Thanks for sharing. Why do I find the irony mildly amusing that you never got off a ship named "Escape"?

I was on the same cruise and really enjoyed it too. The thermal suite is worth every dime!
