Review summary

Interstate room areas seem dark hallways were very narrow, not really handicap friendly. Overall was a good cruise. The only exceptions would be the food could be better and the coffee definitely needs to be improved. The staff was excellent.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Breakfast at the buffet was good, buffet food was average at dinner and supper. Dinners in the dining room was not very good, Japanese restaurant was not good. One thing that was obviously consistently bad was the coffee, it was strong and taste burnt.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Light the amenities on top of the ship

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were exceptional! All the shows, comedians, choir of men and in Howell the dueling pianos. All were exceptional.

Children's Programs

No children With us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room Stewart’s were very good. All the staff on board was very nice and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean, and when you went into the buffet area, they had someone at the door to squirt hand sanitizer in your hands, washy-washy

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was very clean did work for us. However, past ships I’ve sailed on the interstate rooms seem to be a little bit larger. Bad slap great.

Ship tip

They prepared for average food and very bad coffee

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
This port is easy to navigate, will utilize the parking across from the ship, and our Porter carried our luggage to our car after we got off the ship. We did not do an excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the nachi-cocom all inclusive beach day. Very nice place to relax.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Did not do an excursion from the ship, however, we got on a tour bus and it was a nice clean island and had a good time

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We did the best of Ocho Rio excursion. Very very good excursion, they took us to Don’s Falls, rainforest, shopping, and it was very pretty area

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Due to wind and choppy waters, they canceled the tender to this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We say would’ve gave me more information on how to depart, however, it was very easy and fast, and as I said earlier, our Porter carried our luggage to our car, which was very nice

Hey Jerry. I think the coffee on NCL is purposely terrible in an attempt to get people to buy the ridiculously overpriced Starbucks coffee (which is just as horrible in my opinion). Remember pre-covid cruises when NCL had single brew coffee makers in the rooms? Those days when cruises cost 1/2 as much as they do today? Yeah, I miss those days too. 😐

We loved the Escape, but agree that the free coffee on NCL is truly disgusting! Thanks for your review, glad you enjoyed your cruise
