NCL Escape

Norwegian Escape: Key Takeaways Bold hull art by Guy Harvey stretches more than 1,000 feet, making the ship visually distinctive before boarding. A glitzy three-level 678 Ocean Place concentrates much of the nightlife, with restaurants and bars drawing most evening activity. Broadway-quality theater and a large variety of onboard venues suit travelers who want entertainment and many dining choices. Top-deck features include a ropes course and four water slides, alongside an Aqua park, mini-golf, and an adults-only Spice H2O sun deck. Reservations are highly recommended to reduce waits, since crowds and lines build at dinner and show times, especially on a 5,218-passenger ship. Powered by AI There's nothing subtle about Norwegian Escape, which you'll notice before you even board the cruise ship. The hull art, designed by artist and conservationist Guy Harvey, is a bold yet beautiful, in-your-face marine wildlife scene that spans more than 1,000 feet from bow to stern. Once onboard, you'll be captivated by the glitzy three-level 678 Ocean Place; virtually all the action at night takes place at its various restaurants and bars. Even the top decks of the ship are bold, with a ropes course and four water slides that are sure to make your heart race. Escape is ideal for people looking for stellar theater entertainment and variety. Broadway-quality performances are pitch-perfect. The music and performers are flawless and among the best we've seen at sea. When it comes to variety of activities, Escape is a winner. With 28 bars and restaurants onboard, most people will have to sail twice to try out everything. Everyone will be able to find something that appeals. Latin food? Check. An incredible brew pub that feels so genuine, you'll forget you're on a ship? It's got that, too. An indoor-outdoor dining concept, called The Waterfront, which allows passengers to dine seaside. It's there. A first-at-sea Margaritaville? Yep. With so much going on, the ship can -- and does -- get loud. Loud music, loud people, loud venues. Crowds, too, are noticeable, especially at peak periods around dinner and at show times, when everyone is clamoring for the same things at the same time. At full capacity, the ship can hold 5,218 passengers, most of whom are from the United States. You'll find yourself sharing the ship primarily with couples and groups of friends, with families and little ones dominant during the holidays and summer breaks. While Escape preaches a "freestyle" cruise experience, reservations are highly recommended and help reduce wait times, though expect lines to be part of the Norwegian Escape experience no matter what. Pros Exceptional dining, entertainment, bar and club options abound Cons A la carte fees and cover charges add up quickly Bottom Line There's something for everyone on Escape, but you might pay extra for it About Passengers: 4,200 Crew: 1,742 Passenger to Crew: 2.41:1 Launched: 2015 Shore Excursions: 535 Sails To Eastern Caribbean, Western Caribbean, Bahamas Sails From Port Canaveral, Barcelona, Manhattan, Galveston
