This was our 8th cruise, and although we enjoyed them all this was the best! The Escape is beautiful and modern and although large, it is well laid out it does not feel crowded. The gym can become crowded early morning but there are plenty of ways to stay active on the ship, from the walking/running track, rope course, pools, slides, golf, shuffleboard, basketball and dance lessons. Never a dull moment! The balcony stateroom was nicely appointed and typical for the ships we've been on. The food was fabulous in all the restaurants, both complimentary and specialty. We tried most of them and they were all fantastic! There are plenty of options for bars and a great variety of beers and cocktails. Shows in the theatre are excellent, Broadway quality, amazing talent. We particularly enjoyed the comedy shows. The comedians were so funny we went to the shows every chance we got! The ports of the eastern Caribbean route of St. Thomas, Tortola and Nassau were great. Thoroughly enjoyed them all! Certainly the highlight of the trip was the service we experienced on the Escape. Absolutely first class! The crew go above and beyond to make their guests feel special and valued. We were particularly impressed when returning from our day in Nassau to find a party on the pier complete with DJ and dancing staff to welcome us back! On the day of disembarkation staff were again lined up at the pier to send us off and thank us for choosing them. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend the Escape!
