Review summary
We cruised on the Escape Oct 8th. Loved the ship, for me the food was some of the best I've had on a cruise. We ate at only one pay restaurant the Food Republic - it was oh so good. Loved being able to pick several different smaller dishes to be able to try more. 3 of us ate and it was $70 not bad at all, we had tons of food.
The pool area as mentioned in some other reviews was smaller - but we didn't really have an issue finding chairs. People where nice and would move over to give us 2-3 close to each other.
Everyone on the ship was so nice, service was great for the most part. I will say in the Complimentary restaurants food service was quiet slow. At times we felt they where rushed and did not want to allow us time to look over the menu. So that would be my only complaint - I felt maybe the servers where new maybe - but could be wrong. Every complimentary dinner was like that.
Lots of fun activities - the Atrium always had something fun to do. The guys that did our Scavenger Hunt at Tobacco Road area did not know how or what a scavenger hunt was - so hopefully he will learn before he does the next one LOL
Wonderful sitting areas on the Waterfront side in loungers - didn't find those until last day almost.
Shopping on the ship isn't really that great - minimal places to shop and the last day sale went so fast I missed it
We had a wonderful time and would recommend this ship. It is a very large one so be prepared to walk

Bring comfortable shoes - it is a huge ship and you walk a lot.
