I purchased this cruise as an anniversary gift for my wife. This was our first cruise; we had talked about going but had never been. The cruise was amazing! It had surpassed all of my expectations! All staff from every department on the ship were kind, polite, approachable and took great pride in their jobs. We loved the activities and the activities staff were so much fun as they led, engaged and joined in the activities. The food in all the areas we visited was prepared well and delicious. The bar tenders were excellent, providing super service and even remembering our names along with the drinks we preferred. My experience was wonderful. The ship was beautiful. I enjoyed being on the ship and the ocean more than the excursions. I hope to go again in the near future, definitely with Norwegian and hopefully again on the Escape. Best experience I have ever had!
