For an older couple, mid 60's this was our first cruise ever. Not knowing what in the world I would do for 7 days I was extremely happy with the cruise, the ship, the services and the personnel. The food on the Escape was outstanding, as were the restaurants. Service was very good for us, but with lack of incentive with gratuities on beverages build in, I can see the lack of attentiveness of some servers in some of the venues we attended.
The shows we saw were first class. the Howl at the Moon dueling pianos was attended every night they played. Comedy was entertaining, and Julie the director was full of energy all of the time.
Staff was well suited for their jobs, all were friendly.
Clean, plenty of room, place to sit and balcony all fine
Bed comfortable, ship rocked a bit
Easy to understand, few too many on the bus, could not sit with wife, saw what I expected. Bus hit a water hauler
Inexpensive tour of the island, worth the money
