Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Cruise was wonderful. However, the Escape could use an adults only dining room out of the 3 offered for free. Kids sleeping, screaming, etc. in the dining room at dinner is really annoying! Kids in the adult hot tub and pools. No discipline or staff addressing this situation. Food was amazing and staff were pleasant given some of their gruesome tasks.

One of the coolest cruise I have ever made Special mention for all the live performences

We enjoyed the ship, itinerary, staff, food and drinks, activities, entertainment and port of call.

The pluses on Escape, for us were the quality of the food and the many food and bar options. We loved the brewery, Brazilian steak house, mojito bar, Margaritaville, the waterfront area, the outdoor dining seating areas. We also loved the bump-out balcony which gave us a lot of extra viewing area. Bermuda is beautiful, but expensive, so it was nice to have our floating hotel to go back to for rest and food. The minuses on Escape, for us, were largely aspects that we compared to RC Anthem, the only other mega-ship we have sailed on. Unlike the Anthem, Escape felt very crowded all the time. There were too many bars/music and game venues plopped in the middle of the traffic areas and the pools were way too small. The Solarium on RC Anthem simply blows Escape away. If you want a real adult area with pool, hot tubs, bar and restaurant and no kids, the Anthem cannot be beat. On Escape, smoking is permitted in the casino, which takes up almost the entire core of the ship. Because the casino is open to the other floors, the second-hand smoke was a huge problem for someone like me who has asthma. For this reason alone I would probably not go on this ship again.

I just feel like cruises are not what they used to be - they want to fill up the mega ships with as many rooms and people as possible so the overall quality of cruise experience has been going down it seems. We enjoyed our experiences at the Haven but I am not sure if it was worth the price we paid for. For similar price, you could go to all-inclusive luxury resort that comes with personal butler, chef and nanny, as well as more personal touch and attention.

The cruise was very good I enjoyed the food and the specialty restaurants, the port of Bermuda is a beautiful Island. The people are all friendly the history is amazing, things that are not taught in American history classes about the Island and it's connection to the U.S.

This ship is not family friendly. Too many drunk people and not enough family oriented activities despite the photo gallery of the pool , aqua park and mini golf area. The kids pool is extremely small and crowded.

The ship, the staff, the food are excellent. Top notch. But the ship is so large with so many people that it seemed like there were crowds everywhere.

Bermuda is breathtaking. This was our first cruise, and we thought it was pretty close to perfect. The pools and hot tub's could have been managed better. It was hard to find one open. We found that people get in and stay in, regardless if someone has been waiting for a turn. The hot tub's that are marked adults only need to be enforced that way. Way to many kids in them. Staff should insist that children under a certain age not be permitted to run the ship alone. We had a few kids using the tables, chairs dishes, rails...you name it, for drums. Parents just left them alone to eat( they were probably around (4 or 5 years old) The ultimate snorkel excursion with captain Kirk was truly an adventure and a must do for anyone going to Bermuda. He was a very nice guy and knowledgeable about the island. The sunset catamaran swizzle tour on the Aristocrat ,gave us unforgettable views of the sunset. The unlimited swizzles were amazing. This is another must do excursion! The personal taxis on St. George island gave us so much history on Bermuda, on our ride to Glass beach. Our overall experience was truly amazing and we will be cruising again! A thank you to the ships crew!

Enjoyed Bermuda ! Cruise ship was clean and well maintained. Rooms had odor some days which was poor. Buffet food was better than carnival but the main sit down dining food was not as good as carnival. Took hours for sit down dinner and not many options s

Excellent cruise. Bermuda is a wonderful place to visit. If you can get a 2 day pass and explore on your own. It's a safe place and so much cheaper to take public ferry's and buses to places.

Island was beautiful, Can't wait to visit again. Wish we had more time there. Ship is amazing, however can be quite crowded in certain areas considering 4500 people.

As I said for the most part enjoyable but preferred the Gem better due to the availability to see the shows. Not being able to get in was very disappointing.

Took too long to get there, food wasn't that good, everything was super expensive. Loved Bermuda though!

Was not enjoyable guest services was no help for the issues we were having room key had to be reissued every night no lounge chairs to sit on it was packed couldn't use the pool or hot tub over crowded the hot tub was not hot luke warm water same with the food not hot.

Very nice ship,I did not like the food very much ,getting on and off ship was very good,staff was very nice and friendly ,loved New York and Bermuda

Good cruise for people who don't mind crowds, families, and who just love cruising on Large ships with lots to experience..Not as good for people who have mobility issues... Loved cruising our to New York..worth the whole trip for the views going out...

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. We love The scape! I had a little inconvenience with my neighbors (playing loud music late at night disturbing my sleep but customers service took care of it as soon as I called them. Other than that we had the most relaxing vacation ever!!!

The Norwegian Escape is a great ship. Enjoyed all dining rooms, buffet and the Beverage Package!

Overall the cruise experience was pleasant. I feel the pool area was overcrowded and had limitations.
