I wanted to give a review of the Escape, but don't have time to write out every single detail so I've narrowed it down to some pros and cons.

To give you some background, I have been on RC and HA before, though it has been over 10 years since my last cruise. My boyfriend also cruised with Princess almost 20 years ago.
