Good and not so good

Great for families, and getting to know Europe from the Mediterranean. Food is more than great, buffet is enough but try the rest of the restaurants. There was variety and tastetiness, everybody loved it. Shops are great, attention was excellent, destinies were beautiful. Coffee at the buffett restaurants was absolutely delicious and fresh. In thw morning some one offered fresh baked pastry

The operations on board were smooth, and food was plentiful and of good quality in most dining areas.#### Areas for ImprovementHowever, my experience was

This is an older ship and looks every minute its age. It is screaming for renovation! Our room was never made before 3:00 pm or so and when asked the cabin Stewart she said she has 23 rooms to clean and that is the best she could do. I am very picky about the bed linens they did not look fresh. The food in complimentary dining rooms was not very good. You had had to pay for a specialty

I'm a frequent cruiser: usually on Royal, Celebrity, Carnival and sometimes Princess. This Norwegian cruise has been by far the worst cruising experience of my 100+ cruise career. At least the ones I've been on running from a hurricane the crew made the best of and was fun.To this cruise though: We chose it based on Itinerary. We had never been to any of the ports/cities before and that's

This cruise was ok until I relied on the app we were asked to download. We were told to follow all the information on the app. I had an excursion time of 8:45 on the app. But apparently I was supposed to check the paper ticket to make sure they didn't screw it up. On the ticket it said meeting time 8:15 and departure 8:45 I got to the meeting place around 8:35 but the tour left early. Why is there

I have only rated our experience very good based on the itinerary which was the important factor for us. Having been on smaller NCL ships I was keep to see comparison with a larger ship - unfortunately disappointed. A number of small issues.Embarkation at Barcelona - absolute chaos. Queued outside the terminal in high temp for an hour. No staff controlling the queue. Taxi's and coaches

Most disappointing cruise we’ve ever had. We based our booking on the itinerary which was stopping in France, twice in Portugal, Gibraltar & a few Spainish ports. On embarkation we were handed a sheet of paper advising us that we wouldn’t be docking at 3 out of our 4 favourite ports, we stopped once in Portugal but all the other ports were Spainish. Port stops were too short, we’re

Embarkation of the Escape was a breeze. We joined the cruise in Civitavecchia while most of the passengers embarked in Barcelona. It was a full ship of 4200 guests, although the ship never seemed that crowded. Cabin - Our cabin was on the 14th deck Forward. Our steward kept it clean. Once we called him for another towel, TP, and kleenex and he was there in about 3 minutes. This is the
