Review summary

Overall an excellent ship's crew. Felt welcomed wherever we were, especially when we dined. Island experiences could have been improved. Far too hot at end of July and in early August to ride in open air buses for tours. Suggest better tour descriptions or ship needs to find other tour vendors

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy to board and easy to disembark. Staff on the Escape was phenomenal. Haven experience a pleasure

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All were great. Need to have all the same cocktails at every bar and restaurant. Could not have sangria at two restaurants and finally discovered where to get it. Same menu is fine, but specials in haven dining would be improvement

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool at the haven and sun deck were peaceful. Found many areas far too noisy and active. Spa was excellent

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the juggler,company men. Midnight review and brat pack had its moments when you could understand what cast members were singing

Children's Programs

No children on this cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding cabin staff: Andrian and Oliver. Concierge Nimfa and Leah superb. Haven dining Maria, Jefferson, Mily and Roemel did everything perfectly. Warmth exuded everywhere. Felt like family. Lactose intolerant. So, all were willing and able to adapt and offer suggestions. You could do nothing wrong!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Ok. Booked a key west tour. Not enough time

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Easy to visit; covered enough stores. Tour open air bus was uncomfortable on roads; but did see the island. Book an air conditioned tour

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

3 out of 5
Very small. Cancelled open air bus tour with heavy rain. Need enclosed buses with air conditioning!!!!!!!

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Ok port. Far too many things to see in so short a time. People helpful with directions. Discover Nassau tour spent only 25 minutes at Atlantis. We spent 35 at a fort and flea market! You could not walk through the building and see anything in that time at this resort. Disappointed ! Take a taxi to Atlantis yourself and skip the island tour

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Took a bit of time to locate luggage; Miami port doesn't have global entry, a bit slow leaving. Find a porter who can assist and it is much easier. Ship's crew great in getting us out
