Norwegian Escape Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We wanted to relax and get out of the cold, and not only were able to do that, but we were entertained every evening and enjoyed the beautiful islands

Overcall the cruise was OK. NCL and BJ’s couldn’t care less about clients flights and we not helpful with the flights they booked. We had a party of 6 and none of the spouses were sitting together on the plane. BJ’S blamed NCL and walked away. I wouldn’t use them again as they were useless. We had to call airline and rearrange seats on our own. In addition 2 of the couples got a nonstop return flight and we were put on a red eye with a layover in DC arriving after midnight in Boston.

We were happy with the ship and the itinerary, but it was a little crowded (high season?). I think the service suffered a little bit because of the crowds. Heard a lot of coughing around the ship (and one of us tested positive after we got off).

will not cruise again soon. Four times this year was too much.

Not satisfied at all with this particular cruise. It was a little disappointing for the price that was paid.

Overall, a very good cruise food was good. Drinks were awesome. Very crowded coming after post Covid. My only disappointment was the fact that they did not change ship time after we left the Virgin Islands to current time at great stirrup cay the day we were got there and the disembarkation customs and luggage retrieval area

The boat was a nice and clean boat. The staff was friendly. Keep up with your activities. I loved taking part in the games. Lots of great music. The only thing was that I got board every day of the same food. Even in the special dinning there wasn’t much of a choice. Either you cut down on food, or other Norwegian boats have different and more choices of food. But the food was very good.

Compared to another cruise line that supposedly caters to kids, NCL is a dismal failure. In succession: Horrible embarkation experience. Extremely small stateroom with unprotected mattress and ill fitting sheets. Small shower. Food was lukewarm and ordinary. Wait staff was excellent, as were the bartenders and liquor. Except for The Choir of Man (excellent), the entertainment was terrible. Excursions were paid shopping experiences. Pool was a disaster. Other than the wait staff, ship staff seemed to be sullen and unhappy. Ship itself was poorly designed...choppy, poor transitioning, terrible elevators, poor air circulation. (Cigarette smoke from the open casino area permeated onto the rest of that deck as well as the deck below.) Many other impediments to a pleasant experience that are too numerous to mention.

Out of a dozen or more cruises this is the worst experience we have ever had.

Not the Best but not the Worst. Crew was very nice even with several giving us misinformation at times..... maybe new to ship and not trained well. Ship was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Didn't go to 2 of the promised ports! Still don't know why on one of them. Disembarkation was a nightmare. On a brighter note: stopped for an adult beverage every day before dinner at "Tobacco Road" where we were served by Ruth. Probably the BEST employee on the ship. What a joy that woman is. A very nice, friendly, out going person. She always put us in a good mood and put a smile on our faces. This woman should be the poster person for cruising. The other couple with us felt the same way. Thank you Ruth.

This was our first NCL and we will definitely cruise with them again. Thank you for serving us and giving us a very memorable time with our family of 10. :)

Staff and food is excellent on Norwegian Escape. The ship was clean and the most relaxing vacation I think I have ever taken.

We missed two of the main ports of call. It put a big black cloud over the trip. It was for my daughter’s birthday and she missed all her planned activities.

I wished we did a little bit more. They need to have more shows on the ship and less comedy. And the casino needs to be smoke free.

Determined we aren’t NCL fans. Went on this cruise bc our friends were booked on it. Nice to be with friends and family but a holiday week was overwhelming for the cruise ship staff.

This was the worst cruise I've ever been on as it relates to ports of call. I've been on 10-12 cruises.

I definitely would cruise again using Norwegian. We had a great family vacation from ages. 8 to 73. Everyone had plenty to do throughout the entire trip.

Overall a super cruise with a variety of interesting things to do or see- Food and Service were excellent and our accommodations were quite nice as well. The ship is beautiful and is well maintained.

Very pleased with this experience. I do recommend this ship and this itinerary. Take advantage of the specialty restaurants and Norwegian's excursions.

If you can not handle smoking than the ncl escape, breakaway, getaway are not the ships for you. I did ask what I can cruise on to maybe not be sick afterwards. The ship put smaller cabins so more people. For me that many people on one ship is not exciting. No seats outside. Lots of other things.
