Your floating resort

The spectacularly outstanding Norwegian Escape is the first ship in the Norwegian Cruise Line's Breakaway Plus Class. It starts from the first impression as the hull art, done by renowned artist Guy Harvey, is an impressive display of wildlife spanning more than 1000 feet. And that just gives you some clue of the flamboyant new delights that lay await onboard.

Escape is ideal for people looking for stellar entertainment, fantastic food and a brilliant variety of activities to suit guests of all ages. Escape also gives you the convenience of making reservations for almost anything from your cabin or via multiple interactive screens throughout the ship. Its fabulous destinations include: the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, New England and the Caribbean.

Restaurants

The Manhattan Room

This great main dining room is based on deck seven and is the largest of their three free offerings. It's a very spacious restaurant split over two levels and decorated with light wood, blues and creams. This is one of our favourite places for dinner as you often get to see a complimentary dancing show while enjoying your meal. It is a dinner only restaurant and opens between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM.

Taste and Savor Main Dining Rooms

These two restaurants can be found on deck six and is situated across from each other. Although they share the same menu, the decor and style are a bit different. They provide some great spaces to suit every need, whether you want to be among the crowds, have a semi-private area, or even book a private room. Food on board the Norwegian Escape gets very close to fine dining experiences and their service is outstanding.

O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grill

Norwegian Escape's Irish inspired pub is divided into two areas, a small dining section as well as a bigger bar area, both areas sharing the same menu. A great insider tip is to head here for breakfast, as its much quieter than the other crowded breakfast areas on board. They do some lovely breakfast including made to order omelettes, French toast and oatmeal. O'Sheehan's serves food and drink 24 hours a day.

Garden Cafe

The lovely Garden Cafe buffet is on deck sixteen. They serve daily breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as having some evening snacks available. While there's plenty of space available, the seats become much busier during their peak hours that range from 8 to 9:30 am on port days and noon to 1 pm for lunch on sea days.

The Haven restaurant

For cruisers staying in a suite in the Haven complex, this pretty restaurant has a more refined menu than the other main dining rooms. It opens daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and also caters for vegetarians as well as those with special diet requirements. The food here is top class and the service is impeccable.

Margaritaville at Sea

This lovely a la carte restaurant is located on deck 17. It was designed for Norwegian Cruises by Jimmy Buffet and is the first of its kind at sea. It's a sunny and cheery outdoor restaurant that open daily, providing the weather plays along. They have some sun cover for those seeking a bit of shade and offers good food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It includes a Chill bar, where you can try lots of mouth-watering cocktails such as a classic, watermelon or jalapeno margarita or simply grab a cold beer. Simply order your food and or drinks and wait for your buzzer to go off to go and collect it.

Teppanyaki

This intimate Japanese dining venue only serves a small number of guests at any one time, so reservations come highly recommended. This unique restaurant allows you to see Japanese hibachi meals cooked in front of you by chefs performing tricks with the food and their cooking utensils.

Le Bistro

This remarkable restaurant has classically French decor and stylish seating. It has some of the best French cuisine available ranging from appetisers, soups and salads to meats and seafood, and some classic desserts such as Apple Tatin and Creme Brulee.

Cagney's Steakhouse

Cagney's is an a la carte restaurant with a traditional thirties steak house feel. Some of the menu highlights include: several steak cuts along with lamb, veal and pork chops; surf and turf; grilled yellowfin tuna steak, grilled salmon, jumbo shrimp skewers and a fried fisherman's platter.

Moderno Churrascaria

This delightful South American restaurant has an a la carte menu and opens daily for dinner. It is located on deck eight and operates on a red and green card system. If you haven't seen this before it means that if you pick green, the waiters will keep offering you tasty skewers of barbecued meats which is carved at your table and once you are full, you simply indicate your red card to stop service. It is a real treat and comes highly recommended to meat lovers.

Bayamo

Iron Chef Jose Garces brings his Latin-inspired dishes to Escape, with signature plates such as lobster served with a spicy tomato sauce over rice and Wagyu sirloin with potatoes and beet sauce. Bayamo also includes alfresco seating on The Waterfront. Dinner is served from 5:30 pm to 10 pm.

This is a nod to the land-based bar that was once Miami's oldest bar but have sadly closed down since. The decor is lush, the leather couches are comfortable, and the bar has an air of sophistication. Be sure to try one of their exquisite speciality cocktails.
