Our family of 4 chose the Escape for our 1st cruise. We were with 4 other families and it was a perfect boat for everyone to find something that appealed to them. Our kids spent hours on the slides and ropes course. Other reviews mentioned them being closed a lot, but during our week, I didn't find that to be a problem. They also loved bowling, playing putt-put, the basketball courts and the game room. The younger kids couldn't get enough of the kids camp and adored all of the energetic counselors. They even organized a show at the end of the week and all of the kids performed. They were always doing something, so I highly recommend this ship for families.

As adults, we loved all of the bars and nightlife available. There were many options for entertainment every night. The parties held on the Spice H2O were so much fun. We attended the 80's night and that was a blast! They always had some kind of party or fun activity happening. They had so many ways to keep us updated on what was going on-a special app, a daily newsletter, special tv channels advertising ship events and even touch screens around every corner to keep you informed.

Every day, I enjoyed a latte at the Atrium Cafe. The waiter even drew a "panda bear" in the froth of my coffee one morning. It was quite impressive!

St. Thomas

More time traveling to site than actual snorkeling. Felt very rushed and ripped off.

We took a taxi to the beach and it was gorgeous!

Not impressed with Nassau.
