Hate to say, just got off it last week, great crew but that's it. Food was horrible and 1 pool for 4000 people. NCL should be embarrassed about this ship. Kids everywhere too, we went the wrong time.

No. We didn’t have any issues. But, if you are concerned, you can check the deck plan to make sure the cabin you are considering doesn’t have a connecting door. Or, just ask your travel agent.

Can you tell me which destination and where you deported from? I’ve watched a lot of escape videos and the one con I seem to keep running across is that the ship is very crowded all of the time. But in your video, it doesn’t look crowded at all. I would like to take the carribean cruise out of Texas but am wondering if this is a very a busy time for this cruise or is it always to capacity? Any insight is appreciated!

We sailed out of Port Canaveral and it was an eastern Caribbean cruise. The ship was completely full, but that really is the case for all Caribbean cruises right now. I don't know when you are planning to sail but, unless you are going last minute and know there are a lot of empty cabins, you should probably assume it will be a full ship. Having said that, one of the things we really liked about the Escape is that there is so much to do around the ship. That gives you opportunities to get away from the crowds if you so choose. Good luck with your planning and have a great vacation!

You are correct that there is not a branded Starbucks location on the Escape. However, the Atrium Cafe creates all kinds of coffee drinks and serves Starbucks products. It was very good and didn't trouble us at all that it wasn't an "official" Starbucks location.

Hi, which bar would you recommend for a nice drink to watch the sail away from Mediterranean ports after a busy day sightseeing in port? These summer Mediterranean itineraries are a different vibe. We probably won’t get to enjoy all these beautiful amenities as much as a Caribbean cruise. TIA ❤
@iconic-adventures3 ай бұрын
There are a lot of good answers to this question since the Escape has so much to choose from. It kind of depends what sort vibe you are looking for. Certainly the pool deck area (Waves bar on the pool deck 16 and sun deck 17) will have the most energy. They will likely be crowded as well. You've got Spice H2O on the rear of the ship on Deck 17; that would certainly be nice for sail away. And the Deck 19 sun deck on the front of the ship has a bar that usually isn't too busy and the views up there are really good. Finally, if you are looking for something more laid back and relaxing with comfortable seating, then try the Waterfront on Deck 8. There's a bar on each side of the ship and we really enjoyed hanging out there when we didn't want to be in the sun. In conclusion, we liked the sun deck bar on Deck 19 on the front of the ship for sail away (if weather is good). It's not too busy and the views are great. And, for a bonus, you could watch sail away from one of the 2 big hot tubs cantilevered off the side of the ship on the Deck 19 sun deck. Have a wonderful trip!

I've read bad stories of people being left behind, and the captain still not allowing them on board, even though it was in his power to allow it, without causing any inconvenience. To me that is very bad hospitality.
@iconic-adventures4 ай бұрын
Well, you should think of it like a commercial airline with its departure time. The door closes to the airplane about 15 minutes prior to departure and they won’t let you on after that. The ship has a departure time and they have to close the gangway prior to that time. The all aboard times are well known and you need to ensure that that you are onboard before that time.

@@iconic-adventures This is taken from the stuff news website it reads: When they reached the port, Campbell said the ship was still anchored, and the island’s coast guard took them on a boat to a ship in order to get back onboard. The captain then allegedly refused to let them board. "The Harbor Master tried to call the ship. The captain refused the call," Jay Campbell told WRAL."We sent emails to Norwegian Cruise Line, the NCL customer service emergency number, and they said, well, the only way for us to get in touch with the ship is to send them e-mails, and they're not responding to our emails. “The captain could have made an easy decision to turn one of the tender boats back, pick us up, safely load us and then go on the way,” Campbell said.“They had no port to call for the next day, they were simply going to be at sea.” This just shows how cold the captains heart was to it's guests. Especially seeing the people could've easily boarded the ship as the harbour master delivered them to the ship. It wasn't a safety issue. He just didn't want to let them on board. Personally I would never take up a holiday with these people, because how assuring is it to know that the people who are looking after you, will go out of their way for you if the situation called for it. Yes these people were late because of the tour guide. so the fault is with them. But it still shows the cold heart of the people tasked to look after you. That alone is a red flag.
