Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a good week but very over crowded. The staff was very excellent would go to extremes to help or solve any problems. Excellent entertainment on board. All shore excursions and extras on Great Stirrup Cay were very expensive and not worth the price.

If ship was not over crowed it would have been more enjoyable

I expected more from the food buffet and was displeased with service around the pool area. The crew was friendly and helpful.

It started off bad from the start when the staff was rude to us and just kept getting bad from there. Our room was cramped and set up for a couple instead of two singles. Nobody seemed in a good mood. Servers were over worked and tired. Same servers all the time. Then they wouldn’t let us off thhe ship cause I owed a 8,000 bill from medical when I had an asthma attack from something triggered by an allergen on the ship. I had already paid them 3,000 but they wanted more. They even asked if my friend would use her credit care and pay my bill. The nerve of these people. I was outraged. I told them my bank was closed today cause it’s a Saturday and I can’t do anything about getting them anymore money. They were threatening to not let me off the ship if I didn’t come up with more Money. So I finally signed a promissory note and they let me off the boat. And not to mention the boat was so over booked. It had 4500 people and there and you could tell it. We will never go on Norwegian again

My wife and I were very disappointed in the cruise. Food was uninspired and bland. The Buffett reminded me of my college cafeteria days. Shows were amazing. Pool area was small and very over crowded. We will not be repeating with Norwegian

We got home and had Covid. My husband has never had it before

Great cruise, only minor things I would change, overall my favorite cruise,

We had an amazing time! Beautiful weather...........though I would have preferred warmer temps than 80, and only 65 in Florida!

I would do this cruise again but 7A-1P in port is not a great timeframe (Tortola). Great Stirrup Cay is fantastic! This is a great itinerary to just relax and enjoy the scenery

Overall, the cruise was very enjoyable, activities fun (both on & off ship), food & drink were plenty, performances nice, staff pleasant, rooms relaxing, and views spectacular.

We love NCL and they are our favorite cruise line. However, I can understand where some people feel as if they are not getting their money's worth or they feel as if they are being nickle and dime'd while on the cruise - but if you decide to cruise on NCL, don't feel that you need to do anything or everything if you don't want to partake in things that cost you money. Enjoy your time on the ship. Have fun and enjoy your vacation! Check us out at www.VacationAnticipation.com for great cruise trips, cruise bookings and other related vacation ideas.

First time cruising with NCL. I was not impressed the food was very lacking, the staff was clearly overworked and understaffed. The entertainment venues are way too small for the size of the ship. The entertainment performers and staff we did encounter were all pleasant. Overall i would not sail again with NCL based on my experience.

This was our 7th cruise. The other six were all on Carnival. Each cruise line has its pro's and con's, but we like Carnival better overall. But consider that we are elderly, so didn't participate in nearly all excursions - or gamble. One big negative about NCL was the internet service was poor. We had to go the the internet desk to get back online - twice.

We all had a good time, but have had better times on other ships!! Way too many people on this one, never got in the hot tub but once!!

Overall the cruise was just ok at best. Unremarkable ports, food, entertainment, ship experiences. I'm going to stay with the smaller ships where possible.

Great family vacation. Lots to do for everyone. Crew super nice and fun. Ship is nicely laid out. Food and entertainment amazing!!

We had a fabulous time, met some really cool people, and enjoyed a beautiful ship and gorgeous locales.

They went back to old style muster drill which is very crowded and hated by everyone. Crew staff was great cruise ship was great especially the solo area.

Overall, the ship was much better than Carnival. If you are with a family or large group, advance planning is essential. Getting lounge chairs in the pool area is sucked up fast and furious early in the morning. Great kids area on the pool deck area. Plenty of food places to get decent or great food. Plenty of bars and get the Premium plus drink package to get whatever you want and however much you want. Great staff, servers, and always helpful. Plan early as soon as you get on the boat. Also, if there is no reservations available, I was able to get in every event I wanted by getting there early on standby.

This is our first cruise and we were pleased with our experience. It took a bit of exploring and time to figure out how things worked and we are so looking forward to another cruise in our future.
