I have cruised on the escape 3 times, and each holiday as enjoyable as the first. Yes, I agree some areas of the ship are tired looking cabins basic but clean. friendly and helpful staff make sure you are well catered for, nothing is too much trouble, even my son's extensive list of food allergies. The waiters gave us the best service we have ever experienced. We have stayed in 5 star hotels before and have felt like the staff, could not be bothered. I consider this as one of the main reasons we have returned, as the Island escape staff, made so much effort, to cater for us, and value for money. Food was plentyful and varied. The scones served in the afternoon were the best I have tasted.
Ports were amazing, no pressure to book excursions, I was happy just exploring locally, but did enjoy a trip to Pisa and Barcelona's football club.
Weather was mainly sunny, which was a bonus in early April. We did experince some rough seas, but this didn't bother us.
Good space. Life boat obsuring veiw. some noise from other passengers from corridor. looked clean and freshly decorated.
