Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Not sure if I would sail with Norwegian again. I felt like I was constantly waiting on lines and all the shows were already at capacity.

The Norwegian Escape was a wonderful experience. It was a bonus that it left from the port of NYC! The thermal spa suite pass was worth every dime and the specialty dining at Teppanyaki, Cagney’s and Le Bistro was a food lovers dream. Highly recommend all of the above. The casino was most generous at times. Last but not least met some wonderful people.

We had a very nice cruise, the Escape is a beautiful ship, everything went well in general, twice they disembarked people who were sick. The fact that there are a lot of people some things are more difficult, like the fact that we have to be booked for shows, if we want to sit in the Atrium it's hard to find good places there, fortunately There were several folding chairs. Looks like some people subscribe to the best seats 😉 But we really enjoyed our cruise, but personally we prefer smaller ships.

Had a great time. Roberto our cabin steward was amazing. He really should get some recognition.

The ship was beautiful it had some wear and tear to some of the popular areas the basketball court net was rapped miniature golf course piece of rubber missing whole one and two of the floor moved on your feet when you walked on it.

It was a nice and relaxing cruise on the beautiful Norwegian Escape. A 14 days cruise is the best.

It was s ok cruise to many geriatric people on the ship 60% of the ship was tham.

Over all a very enjoyable vacation aboard the Escape. As always we had an excellent crew, food, and shows. We did miss GSC because of winds/currents but that wasn't going to make our break our trip.

The Norwegian Escape is a great ship. The food was very good except for the dinner buffet. Service and crew are nice enough. Elevators are slow but can’t be helped because no mid ship elevators. I recommend this ship

Avoid NCL. Avoid the NCL Escape. Avoid NY harbor.

Overall fantastic time with great drinks, food, entertainment and staff!!!

due to N.Virus the ship was under staff,. I have taken 9 cruises with Norwegian this one was for the books very confusing!!!!

All Food from Terrace to specialist restaurants was 5 star-staff could not be better-just a wonderful 14 night cruise-best ever!

Dream vacation on the Escape last month. 14 days, southern Caribbean. Unbelievable experience. It was my 2nd time on the Escape and 3rd NCL Cruise. Honestly, the Escape is the PERFECT ship for all in my opinion. I cruised solo on deck 15 and had the time of my life. Ultimate peace and quiet, gorgeous outward balcony, amazing steward. Right below buffet, which was incredibly impressive in taste, variety, flavor, and sanitation. Also located right below spice h20, and next to the aft elevators, easy access to skyline bar (the spot for last call and nice party’s late at night). The aft elevators were always super especially when the buffet was shut down late. I highly recommend the escape. It’s an incredible warm weather ship with great smoking sections on deck 17 at waves and spice. Deck 16 poolside is smoke free and always has some amazing live entertainment each day. The bartenders at all deck 16 and 17 and deck 19 sundeck bars all get the drinks out fast and perfect. The indoor venues feature an incredible amount of bars along with the ship wide amazing service. The Mojito Bar was serious, district brew house was the spot to get that nice beer and have a pep talk waterside. Also I left this ship in January from nyc and although this ship is an incredible outdoor ship, it’s indoor capability’s were strong as well. Some of the best views can be had from the garden buffet at times.. Alvin the cruise director was awesome and always getting the party going with his incredible crew. I wish to one day go back on the Escape again for many many days. I just booked the bliss next year and hoping it’s even half as good as this incredible time on the Escape. Also on the Escape it’s great for active solo travelers as well. I had a deck 15 balcony to relax on for hours a day but I still logged 30k plus steps some days bar hopping, dancing, excursions, etc etc.. I played full court basketball a few days and overall felt extremely active on board in the best of ways while also extremely relaxed. I normally sleep 8 hours every night but for some reason only needed 5 hours of sleep on the escape each night to feel extremely fresh and rested. Perhaps massages from the Mandara Spa helped channel the best energy’s from within. I highly recommend the deep tissue and hot stone as well, book one after a long shore excursion for $50 off a 75 minute massage. I recommend “May” as a masseuse, was the best my body’s ever felt after spa treatment. This ship also boasts some incredible specialty dining. On the 14 day cruise I only ate at Moderno and Cagneys in terms of specialty dining but both of them were incredible, 5 stars for sure. OSheehans was just simply incredible for a super late late late night meal, so was room service. You can’t go wrong on this ship, weather your an early bird or a night owl, active or sedentary, you can’t go wrong on the Escape. You will have an amazing time. The shore excursions were also excellent and saw and did some really amazing things.

The entire cruise was mismanaged, it was not ready to sail and yet despite most passengers complaints, we were not even offered a cruise credit, in fact management did not even accept responsibility. Will never travel on NCL.

Loved the itinerary..not sure we will do NCL again.

I believe a cruise is what you make of it... if you go knowing your going to have a good time then chances are you will.... I love the unlimited drinking package that Norwegian offers

Great time will do it again the staff on the ship go above and beyond also the ship is very clean

The trip started rocky. Great Stirrup Cay was a bust again. Missed Jamaica and Grand Caymans due to being ill. The rest of the trip was fantastic

At first I thought 14 nights would be too long. Secret is to pace yourself, try to eat as you normally would, don't go crazy. A few days of non drinking also. The Escape is a beautiful ship, enjoy her!
