We recently sailed aboard the Escape January 23rd-30th, 2016. I will admit I was a bit apprehensive because it is a mega ship and there were some negative reviews about the Escape.
But, realizing this is a brand new ship and they would naturally have a few bugs to work out I went in with an open mind. Glad I did. This ship is wonderful.
First let me start with check in. As frequent cruisers we had priority check in. This went incredibly smooth. In fact we left our hotel, the Miami Hilton Downtown at 11:05 am by cab.
