My boyfriend and I sailed in December 2015 on the nearly-built (and sailed) Escape. We had high hopes for the ship considering the last two years we voyaged on the Epic and Breakaway and loved each ... the Escape was no different; it had everything the other vessels had: great food, terrific service, waterslides and table tennis (my personal favorites), and plenty of activities and events that could be described as fun, relaxing, comical, and purposeful.
I know the staff works harder than the average 'on-land' employee. I saw the same wait crew multiple times of the day stretching from the buffet breakfast at 8am to a late dinner at Cagney's around 9pm. And they were still friendly and smiling!
Our excursions have always produced near perfect scores. We went kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. We're pretty active obviously and on vacation, still wish to shed a few calories. Our tours of St. Thomas and Tortola were outstanding as was the staff who orchestrated / facilitated such.
Loved it - perfect size for two people.
Consistently cleaned by the staff; plenty of room to keep belongings. Not one complaint!
We rented a condo - it was 10x better than a hotel and cheaper too!
Kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking to Cas Cay. Arguably the best excursion EVER.
Took a boat out to Norman Island for snorkeling followed by relaxation quiet beach area on the island. 5 out of 5!
Walked to Junkanoo Beach where I went paddleboarding. Spent $20 the whole day during our multi-hour visit. 5 out of 5!
