Ship Quality

3 out of 5

we did not care for the dark décor; dark colors used...public spaces were small and crowded, shops were crowded; could barely navigate through thru the lounges around the tiny pool...

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

the cabin person did just what he had to no more

Ship tip

have a price for the cruises that cover enough funds for the staff so you are not having to tip or an added service charge for a cup of coffee etc . yes I wish we had stayed home.

Just got off the ship yesterday we ate at all three restaurants the Manhattan room was a little noisy because of the band food was good The Taste Restaurant was smaller the only problem we found was the service from the bar was slow same with the savor if you're looking for a really good bar to go to while on board go to the 5 o'clock somewhere outside bar and see cowboy one of the best bartenders I've ever seen the shows were good especially the brat pack you'll want to definitely make reservations now in any of the restaurants or the shows you want to go to if you wait until you're on board they do fill up fast

Don't worry. We sailed Escape a few months ago and absolutely loved it! It is a bit too crowded but other than that no complaints about food, service or entertainment. Best vacation!!

I loved everything. I only ate at the complimentary dinning especially Manhattan Loved the live jazzy music. Large ships are not for everyone but can't wait fo go again

Hi just wondering where did you eat on the boat? I've heard some say great food some say otherwise. Did you eat only in the taste/savor/Manhatten rooms? Any specialty dining? Please let us know what dining venues you went to!
