Sad that we missed Valleta due to high winds, I really wanted to see it. Otherwise all the stops we good to excellent. I would recommend the itinerary. We liked the ship and the service
Embarkation
5 out of 5
This was the fastest we've ever gotten on ship. Pretty much walked right up to Check-In, then waited maybe 20-30 minutes for our group call
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food quality was very good and so were the drinks - as well as the service staff. And unlike last cruise (on the Epic) there were hardly any waits for dining or bars
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The fitness center was sufficient - didn't really see much of a staff (didn't need them) and one thing that was missing was an area to do stretching, cool down and abs work (a small area with mats would've been nice)
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Major show - Choir of Man was excellent. The band in Syd Normans Pour House was outstanding! (wish they could've played in a bigger venue). Other bands and soloists were pretty good. The Magician was very good and the juggling show was OK
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Room steward was excellent and responsive. The restaurant and bar staff was excellent
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Escape is so much better than the Epic. We never had to wait in line at all (and it was a pretty full ship)
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was comfortable, bathroom was roomy. Could've used a few more USB power outlets
Ship tip
H2O Spice area is a very nice area for relaxing in the sun, it was never real crowded - I think most people stayed around the mid-pool areas
The luggage situation was confusing, our luggage showed up on 2 different carousel. Once we figured that out we ran into a taxi queue that was a mile long and took us 45 minutes to get a taxi into town
