Norwegian Escape - Caribbean Cruise
May
Pros: Ship is clean and updated, Friendly Staff, very organized, lots of fun activities, great excursions
Cons: not enough deck chairs
Recommended: Yes
Overall the cruise was a lot of fun. The only downside was the dock at Great Stirrup Cay was under construction so we had to take a tender to land. Great Stirrup Cay was the last excursion but was cancelled because of high winds which made the water too rough to take the tender to land. On the up side, NCL did immediately refunded any costs incurred.

Escape wasn't all that.
May
Pros: Solo lounge
Cons: Food & entertainment
Recommended: No
I didn't think the food was as good as other cruises I've been on. My excursion was cancelled and we weren't able to go to our last port at your private island in the Bahamas.

Mediterranean Cruise
October
Pros: Clean and well organized.
Cons: I prefer a smaller crowd. Loud music was always playing.
Recommended: Yes
Overall, it was good. The buffet area was overwhelming with people cutting in and out with food. The restaurants were decent with quality service with the exception of the Japanese Temppanyaki restaurant. Food wasn't good - over cooked and the presentation of preparing it was obnoxious. The shows we attended were entertaining and well done.

Norwegian Escape Review
October
Pros: Did big things right: safe, clean, no troubles with the ship
Cons: Business model of
Recommended: No
There are way too many things that are up-charges. In fact, a majority of mean venues are specialty venues. There is no ice cream stand on the swimming pool deck, there is no turndown service in the staterooms. The crew was competent but not overly friendly to guests--they did not look like they were having fun. The music was also not great for people our age (seniors). There was only one major show in the theatre, the rest of the time was just a comedian and one singer. Could be more.

Norweign Escape 10/03-10/10
October
Pros: Overall experience was very good.
Cons: Disappointed in the hotels that the ship offers in Rome and Venice. Did not realize that there were 2 hotel options in Venice and we were only offered one.
Recommended: Yes
The majority of the excursions were very good except for the trackless train in Split Croatia, It was a horrible tour. I do not believe it was explained properly. We get a bus sticker, then told we have to walk from the pier to town. After about 35 minutes, told the tour begins. Walked through "Palace", then walk to get the trolley, which drives us outside of the town to 2 parks. It was not even that scenic a drive. The trolley brings us back and the guide says you can walk to town or go back to the boat. Someone asks how to get to the ship and she says just follow the water's edge. This was one of the more expensive tours and definitely not worth the cost

Outstanding Crew
September
Pros: Crew
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
Norwegian Escape crew was outstanding, Lufthansa lost our luggage and the crew onboard Norwegian Escape did everything in their power to help us locate our luggage. We felt they kept us informed, tried to help with keeping the only clothes we had cleaned all while being extremely professional and compassionate. We want to personally thank each member but a sincere thank you to our steward Mark for checking on us daily and taking the time to make my birthday special!
