Norwegian Escape is an awesome ship. Our accommodations were excellent!!! Staff is very friendly and accommodating!! Food is outstanding!!! lots of activities on board if you wish to participate!!! Very relaxing I would definitely recommend this cruise!!! Only negative is would have been nice if the ship stayed in some of the ports for at least 12 hours, so you could have a chance to do a few more excursions or just enjoy the sight seeing. Overall wonderful experience and would recommend this cruise. Went Snorkeling in St Thomas on an excursion and was able to see some Sea Turtles which was amazing!!!!
Pros: Stateroom had a balcony that was so relaxing to sit on and enjoy the ocean... If your taking a cruise it is well worth the additional cost to get a room with the balcony!!! The Food was incredible!!!!!
Cons: Only negative that I can think of is that it would be nice to stay in port at some of the locations for a bit longer so you could enjoy them more.

We loved our "first" cruise so much that we signed up for "CruiseNext" and put down a deposit for future cruises. Can't wait to go again!
Pros: The staff was very friendly and the food was great! The onboard shows were also wonderful!
Cons: Smoking being allowed in the casino area was a disappointment. Did not go to the casino much, or stay long, because of that.

The Cruise Director Tyler was exceptional. We have traveled on 3 NCL ships as well as Princess, Royal and Carnival and he was far and away the best Cruise Director we have ever had. He was involved in everything, and was always high energy. The rest of the crew usually reflects the Cruise Director and they definitely did! Loved the comedians. They had us in stitches. The food in Cagney's Steakhouse was really good. Steak cooked perfectly, and the waiter was very attentive. This was followed closely by the Teppanyaki restaurant. Food was also quite good, and our hibachi chef was really entertaining. As for the shows, After Midnight was really good, but the Brat Pack show was not at all what we thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be 80's music I had heard of, but it wasn't, and the lights were too bright to the point of hurting my eyes. We left early. The only other knock on the ship was the cigarette smell from the 7th floor casino. it was in the carpeting, and you could smell it on both the 6th and 8th floor (which you could not avoid. They need to do a better job of ventilating the casino
Pros: The Cruise Director Tyler, our cabin steward Nadia, the food in the specialty restaurants, the comedians
Cons: The cigarette smell from the 7th floor Casino could be smelled on the 6th and 8th floor, The Brat Pack Show

My family of 4 (including 2 daughters ages 15 and 18 - both first time cruisers) had a wonderful experience on the Escape. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Main dining room and specialty restaurants were exceptional, even the buffet on the pool deck was good quality and variety. We had 2 staterooms, which made space nice for the 4 of us. Variety of activities and lounges/bars was great. As a craft beer enthusiast the "District" on Deck 8 had over 20 taps on hand. Don't miss "For the Record - the Brat Pack" if you are onboard. St. Thomas and Tortola were great ports, Nassau was just "so-so", another BVI would have been nice, since this itinerary had 3 full days at sea. The upgrades for both drink packages and specialty dining added a lot of value compared to other lines.
Pros: Specialty Restaurants, Friendliness of Staff, Activities
Cons: Wish there were more ports, activities hard to find for 18-20 age group

We enjoyed our time on the Escape very much. You could do as much as you wanted or as little. We can't say enough about the staff: friendly, kind, helpful, and always had a smile on their face.
Pros: Clean and friendly staff, Haven restaurant very good
Cons: Average food in most of the dinning spots

Norwegian Escape
I would highly recommend the escape to anyone who enjoys cruising. The ship is very modern and very much up to date . I would not recommend it for 1st time cruisers, as it may be to large to handle. This is my 4th NCL vacation and have good luck on all trips. I don't see changing cruise lines in the near future.
Pros: Ship seemed very roomy for the amount of people on board.Never felt crowded in lines at the buffet or when exiting shows.
Cons: Could have used a larger adult pool. This seemed like the only area were you fely overwhemed by bodies all over.
