A large ship, so lots of people about! Staff very good, food excellent, we had a great time.
Only issue was we couldn’t get into the pre booked shows as they got booked up quickly by more experienced passengers. 4 identical shows (problem was some people were going 3 or even 4 times) so a fairer system would be a good idea!

Very mixed feelings overall. Staff work very hard to provide a pleasurable experience, but the general layout meant entertainment areas were very crowded and extremely noisy. Stools around bar made it difficult to order a drink. I would advise dining in speciality rooms or main diners rather than buffet ( nothing wrong with it, just crowded!). Learn quickly how to use TV on board screens to book entertainment /dining as this will avoid long queues at guest services. Expect queues for everything. Shore excursions expensive, investigate other providers. Take travel adapters (shaver style and bayonet). Also ear defenders. Different, but overall enjoyable if you can adapt to a noisy environment.

The ship is a member of the Breakaway + class and I have previously cruised on Breakaway and Breakaway + ships and mainly like both classes. There is no nightclub on Escape instead the late night (well not that late) party venue is the casino bar which is called the Skyline and is open to the casino. The layout is not well designed IMHO. SPICE H2O hosts late evening parties weather permitting however whilst this is an adults only venue during the day there is no such restriction in the evening so kids may be present when adults are partying hard which is not ideal. Food in the MDR repeats a little too often but the always available selection helps ease the pain the steak being particularly good. On my cruise the bars were constantly running out of things there was a shortage of many items which I have never encountered on my previous six NCL cruises over the last year. Everything else was pretty much what I have come to expect and was of good standard.

Newport
DAY 6
13 Sep 2026
Time at Port: from 6 AM to 4 PM
Overflowing with New England charm, but not without its own unique quirks, Newport, Rhode Island, is an American destination defined by the ocean and one port of call you’ll remember visiting for a long time to come. Boasting some of the best coastline in the region and a city centre full of intriguing colonial architecture and grand mansion houses from the 19th century, such as the Vanderbilts’ Marble House and lavish Belcourt of Newport, the sightseeing opportunities here are second to none. This destination is also littered with charming boutique shopping experiences and sensational seafood restaurants – although, you will find plenty of other places to eat if you’re not a fan of fish! Whether you’re looking to enjoy the fresh air and a coastal walk in the sunshine, or some watersports off Bailey Beach, or Schuest Bay, off Second Beach, this destination is great for connecting with the outdoors.
Things to do in Newport:
The Breakers
Built as a summer home for Cornelius Vanderbilt II between 1893 and 1895, The Breakers is a Gilded Age mansion boasting 70 rooms across five floors and roughly one acre of surrounding grounds. A national historic landmark and an impressive example of Neo Italian Renaissance architecture in North America, this former residence is now open as a museum – and the elegant interiors really are something to marvel at.
The Elms
An impressive mansion house designed for Edward Julius Berwind and completed in 1901, The Elms and its stunning grounds are open to the public and self-guided tours can be taken to explore the life of servants during the Gilded Age – alongside the grandeur of life in the social and economic elite, of course. You’ll also enjoy fantastic views of Newport Harbor from the grounds of this particular manor.
Rough Point
A Gilded Age mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, this English Manorial-style building was built for Frederick William Vanderbilt in the late 1800s of red sandstone and granite. Bordering the famous Newport Cliff Walk, this impressive home is now open to the public as a museum; since 2003, a rotating exhibit has been in place within Rough Point, highlighting things like the clothing, jewellery, and furniture of the era.
Fort Adams State Park
First developed as a coastal fortification between 1798 and 1799, Fort Adams is a former United States Army post with a unique history. Expanded upon after the War of 1812 against the British, it was in active use throughout the American Civil War, World War One, and the Second World War. Beyond this, however, the site was transferred to the United States Navy and has since become a National Historic Landmark with important restoration work ongoing. While an interesting insight into the military fortifications of centuries prior, this fort boasts unique features unlike anything else existing from this era today – making it an even more interesting place to visit when in Newport.
