New to NCL and not sure what the Breakaway class is. Assume that it’s not the Epic which has an Eastern.

If that turns out to be the case I'll go solo. Got no qualms about that. Was just wondering if there were any options. This suckssss lol

What sucks more is marrying the wrong person. Maybe you dodged a bullet. Hope you can still enjoy your trip!

I've booked Epic also and have been researching on here for kids. Seems like Burn the Floor is kid appropriate, sort of a Dancing with the Stars type dancing. Priscilla is rated for adults. Cirque is extra $ but also good for kids. Then you will have smaller venues with Beatles, Dueling pianos etc that will be okay for all ages at certain times.

I am going to have to agree with this.. just got off the escape... i cruised last year, the same exact week. expecting the WORST (because of spring break), and it was not 1/4 as bad as this year. The whole week felt like an over priced 7 day carnival booze cruise. We love to have fun and all, and the profanities I can handle (let’s face it, my son has probably heard every word there is to hear)..but after 3-4 days of the banging on walls and doors at 2-3-4am, drunk college kids piling in elevators and spilling booze all over, yelling off of balconies all hours of the day and night , random items flying over board (thank god it wasn’t people). The bars were not what-so-ever “adult” like. Neither were the pools... it was a college dance party /“twerk off” (which would have been a blast in my 20’s. LONG lines at the bar for drinks. I know everyone deserves to have fun, my only question is WHY didn’t NCL keep their on one side - or at least put families with kids AWAY from them? One of them actually told me there were over 250 from her school alone. I felt the crew was not totally at their best - but how can they be? They all looked frustrated .. I would have been too. .

How many nights was your Escape cruise?

Agreed, some are stuck to traveling with school schedules. I too hope longer cruises avoid these crowds. Also, spring breaks tend to vary widely on dates.

Such a nice review and pics!
