Absolutely fantastic, and was a nice change being on holiday and not listening to the usual moans and groans of other holiday makers. Everyone was full of praise of this fab ship, and basically really 'happy' holiday makers :-)

Everything was very well organised, from arriving at the port, cases arriving at our door effortlessly, daily bulletin under our door last thing at night with the next day activities - and something for everyone, take it or leave it. When disembarking there were maps at reception of the port marking clearly any points of interest. As the Island Escape is small in comparison to other ships we got prime berthing spots. We did the Rome in One Day, was ok but pretty expensive at around £76 I think per person, and Florence on your own, again pretty expensive, £36 I think per person for a 1hr 15 min bus ride and drop off. Other stops we did on our own.

Dining... something for everyone. Restaurants were very well organised, and sanitizing was the order of the day, every day, everywhere. I noticed in the restaurants the plates were upside down to help prevent germs, waiters putting out the cutlery on tables wore plastic gloves, and the team work in restaurants was second to none. We liked all restaurants at different times of the day, but our favourite was dining in the Oasis restaurant in the evening after a busy day sightseeing, or just for waiter service and being totally spoilt, and totally spoilt we were! They were doing a 'Happy Hour' deal whilst we were there, dining after 9pm for £10.95 per person, the wine flowed, and believe me worth EVERY PENNY!

Very quiet, and we were close to bars, casino, and heard nothing above or below.
