Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I do have to say that the week we went was the Presidents birthday week and there were a lot of families with children. Although it was crowded, I heard the ship was at 100% capacity, the kids were all great. there were also a lot of teachers on the trip as well, because really they need a break too!

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.

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.

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!!

Bad News First: when making our reservation more that 6 months in advance, Cheap Cruises rep told us we could apply our CruiseNext credit later. NOT TRUE! If booking through a travel agent, you can only use a CruiseNext credit when reserving your Cruise. Cheap Cruises refused to own up to their mistake. So,, we paid $500 more for our Cruise than we should have. And then, while talking to a Cheap Cruises rep during this cruise about a future cruise (don't ask me why my wife called them), a different rep said the same thing! Do they really not know or is it a concerted effort to prevent people from using their CruiseNext deposit credits?! We are not going back to Cheap Cruises again.

Overcrowded ship (4600), but people were having a blast everywhere on the ship for the entire cruise. Never seen anything like this on 9 NCL cruises.
