This was a beautiful and wonderful cruise ship with lively and varied entertainment, and excellent food, There was never a moment of wanting for things to do or to get entertained by. The staff and crew, including officers were friendly and helpful. Getting on and off the ship was easy and fast with no waiting or difficulty finding suitcases. It was really the best I have had yet in all my years of cruising. The entertainment was exceptional and went late into the night. A favorite was the dueling pianos and the theatre performers. The food was very good, even at the buffet, which we usually find to be average, but not on this ship. If you have kids they will love the pool area, which was just awesome for them. The Escape is really a beautiful ship with so many restaurants to dine at and the wait time is minimal. Also, this ship has no formal nights and the dress code is very relaxed, which is also different and nice. I strongly recomment this ship. You will not be disappointed.
