Escape With Food Republic and Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Escape - Food Republic - Sign

When you get invited to go on a cruise ship, you go — no ifs, ands or buts. When we got invited to check out the Norwegian Escape, we dropped everything to tour this huge addition to the cruise line’s fleet.

The Escape, which went into service last November, is home to over 25 dining experiences and 21 bars and lounges that guests can enjoy on trips to the Caribbean.
