Review summary

Overall the Escape was a good sail , like I said huge ship bring your track shoes, Would I sail her again NO once was enough.. Ship was clean throughout crew were very professional except room stewards seemed distant from passenger which I found to be unusual oh well can't be on your A Game all the time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Little disorganized but not bad at all...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR was decent, specialty restaurants hit or miss, buffet mad house, closed at unusual times

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool was pretty small for over 4000 people but it was nice as far as the rope course etc did not use but it appears all who use had a blast.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Caught a show Rat Pack it was ok the seats are tiny and I am a small guy, very loud maybe to loud, comedy was decent..

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward sucked but the rest of the crew were great no major complaints , Room Steward had a attitude issue so she was replaced, 2nd one was ok ..

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Wonderful Ship huge, Atrium was a little disappointing small more focus on specialty restaurants, Ship throughout was top notch.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice cabin with extended balcony , nice size bath, shower combo , but bed was uncomfortable, pillows sucked , but overall nice cabin, decent storage , mini bar, etc.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Port of Costa Maya is nice huge pool shops dolphin swim , but wife was a little disturb with size of dolphin enclosure, Excursion was paradise we chose to do a private excursion we went to a ECO Resort called ALMAPLENA it was the ultimate paradise had the entire beach to ourselves food was really good not fabulous but good , waiters were on point margaritas were delicious, highly recommend after being around over 4000 people did not want to leave. Hats off to them.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is Cozumel shopping Etc. Oh yeah Senor Frogs food sucked entertainment was good but food was thumbs down for us.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Once again totally disorganized but we got our bags jumped on a transfer to airport not bad considering no direction but Staff but not my first sail so dealt with it.
