Review summary

This was my 3rd cruise with Norwegian and first since Kevin Sheehan left as CEO and boy could we tell the difference. The specialty restaurants have gone way down hill (Cagney's reservation for 7:30 and we don't eat until 10pm, lobster is like scrap meat, all food is bland and over cooked) staff is not personable and friendly anymore.

Last month I finally convinced my parents to give Norwegian a try and they will not be back after their experience on the escape. Apparently there was a 600 person party on their cruise and everything was closed for those people (spice h2o, adult only area, Margaritaville). We have a cruise booked next year with NCL if things aren't better by then we will be forced to move on.
