Review summary

First cruise on a large ship. Too many people. Elevators were always crowded. Long walks from one end to the other of the ship. Get a room midship would have been less walking. Buffet was crowded and selection not up to smaller NCL ships

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I've cruised on the Escape twice and had a great time with great food. I personally always book cabins all the way forward or after cause elevators are usually less crowded. I don't have mobility issues, so i have no problem with doing the extra walking to and from and its also good exercise from all the over indulgence.
