Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall an excellent cruise. We really enjoyed it and met some nice people from all over the world. Food was good, drinks flowed often and we slept well.

Overall it was great Montenegro was terrible rest was solid.

Booked the trip b/c of the itinerary & it was changed multiple times with nothing given in return...just days at sea. If I knew I would be going to 2 of the 4 stops in Greece then I would have selected another cruise. NCL has definitely cut food costs as the beef was inedible across the boat - from buffets to specialty dining. Food freshness also was an issue as we were served moldy cake for a celebration dinner!

We were very disappointed that Corfu and the Corinth excursion was cancelled. We might not have taken the cruise if we would have know ahead of time. The food and service was good. They had umbrellas in the sunny areas, so people would put up an umbrella and block the sun. We suggest no umbrellas in the Sunny Areas around the pool. There were plenty of shady areas for people to sit and relax close to the pool. GET RID OF UMBRELLAS. Getting on and off the ship was excellent.

Everything about the cruise was amazing except the unexpected cancellation of Corfu and the lack of communication regarding the cancellation. It will definitely make me think twice about booking with Norwegian again because we booked this trip based on 4 stops in Greece and we only got 3 stops. So disappointing since everything else was so great.

Overall, the Escape is a great ship and the staff is amazing. I couldn't speak highly enough of the staff or how well they are organized. They made the difference with my cruise. I hope they are well paid and not receiving good pay just because the gratuity charges make up their wages. They deserve every dime. On the other hand, June was exceptionally hot, I noticed that some of the cruise participants were not prepared for just how hot it was nor the physicality several of these ports required, such as Santorini. In one instance, in Pisa, there was a 15 minute walk from where the bus parked and to the sights of interest such at the Leaning Tower. Two of the tour participants cut their time short and took a taxi back to the ship. Certainly, this is no fault of the Cruise Line nor the Tour operator, I only mention it so that whomever is planning their trip to be mindful of the time of the year and your personal physical capabilities.

In spite of a rough start, we enjoyed the trip. Would recommend this ship and itinerary.

A port intensive itinerary with lots of history involved on the tours. We enjoyed all of the ports. Looking to book another cruise to the same ports. We like how NCL runs the excursion meeting place in the Theater or aft dining area. Very organized doing it this way.

We had a fabulous time and loved the ship. Not everything was amazing, but certainly our experience was well worth our time and money.

I think this trip spoiled us forever. The ship was spacious and only 40 percent occupied. The ports were the best. The weather was great, and the seas always flat. Can't wait to do this again.

My wife and I found this to be a great experience. The major disappointment was the cancellation of Santornini. The staff was extremely accomadating and friendly. The ship is big and full of options.

With the cruise to asia being post poned for 2 years, we decided on Italy and greece. Glad we did, the ship, service, islands, ports, were all magnificent. Perfect weather. We upgraded to a haven spa suite. It's worth it!

We absolutely loved this cruise. The boat was at half capacity and the service was amazing.

This transatlantic cruise was enjoyable although it was very late in getting started.

We were disappointed to not visit Tortola because we had not been there before. Also, disappointed in the tour at the Dominican Republic.

I should have booked thru ncl, got NO, freebies ie dinners, wifi etc, when I booked was supposed to free stuff. Not happy at all.should have cancelled my booking within 24hours .getting off the ship was a nightmare, walked around slot machines, Disney line ride at its best. Only 2 imagination officers.. The staff was great, food was awesome. Live and Learn.

Ran aground in the Dominican Republic. Stuck there for 4 days before being flown home back to Orlando airport by charter planes airport. The disembarkation was disorganized took hours of waiting in hallways and staircases. The bus to airport was dirty. The airport was so small it didn't even have a restaurant. Charter plane was old and cramped and attendants were very sullen.

The communication regarding the unscheduled debarkation of the vessel was poor at best. The officers were totally unprepared to disembark passengers on Wednesday and should have delayed one more day to get a positive plan in place. The whole process was shoot from the hip mentality on the first day. That is when we got off with very little notice to pack and report for a Covid test that no one even asked for when we got to the airport or when we landed in Orlando. I know that the plan was put together by personnel in Miami but the communications to the passengers was lacking.

Definitely not handicap friendly! Handicap bathrooms were all on a ramp so you needed help to get in them, most of the time they were locked. The doors from outside had you put your hand on them to open, not convenient for someone in a wheelchair or scooter. Elevators we're big, which was great!

was horrible ran aground nd could not get an information out of any one had to spend 1K out of pocket to get home. This was my honeymoon and it ruined it
