The Escape is a great ship. The crew is top notch and could not be better. My first time in the studio and it was an excellent experience. Soooo quiet! Fun lighting! And, all the food and drink you could want at any hour... that lounge is a convenient place. Everything is so well thought out that there was more than enough room for all your belongings. The dining was very good as well. I love the convenience of the free style cruising. I took out the spa package just in case I missed having a window in my stateroom. That was a good decision as I used all of the amenities, spa pool, saunas, salt room and steam room. I was not brave enough to use the "ice" room. I'll leave that for you to report on..... On the downside I personally felt that the entertainment could have been better with the exception of the Headliners Comedy Club.
