NCL Escape is a beautiful ship with many amenities. Overall, we enjoyed every aspect of our voyage (itinerary, service, food, cleanliness, ship layout, and entertainment). We were blessed to experience such an awesome adventure on this bucket-list cruise!
Embarkation

We walked 2 blocks from our hotel to the pier. Handed our luggage to the porter at the entrance to the terminal. The embarkation process was very organized and moved quickly thru each step of the process.

Ship tip
We especially enjoyed H2O (an adults-only aft area that offers serenity, peace, & tranquility). The top deck also has a quiet area with hot tubs & offers great views.
Beautiful island! Walked the lively town and enjoyed all the sights, restaurants, & shops. Looks like the highlight of Ibiza is the nightlife, which we did not experience due to ship's time in port.
Freixenet Cellars excursion was interesting & informative. The tasting at the end of the tour was delicious & relaxing. Bus ride thru Barcelona on a quiet Sunday morning was very nice to capture the essence of the city.
We did the Tuscan Countryside & Wine Tasting at Vialto (family farmhouse). This tour was exceptional & exceeded our expectations. The luncheon was awesome (cheese plate w/truffle honey, homemade bread, homemade pasta with red sauce & a Bolognese sauce, lemon olive oil cake, and pitchers of red & white wine). Afterwards we stopped at their shop to sample more goodies (truffle honey, limoncello, etc.). They offer shipping to the U.S.
No excursion. We took a quick ride on the shuttle bus to the Civitavecchia train station enroute to Termini Station. We extended our trip with a 6-night stay to explore the Eternal City of Rome.
