Been on several cruises and a variety of different companies. Because of getting sick early on I was unable to fully enjoy everything this boat had to offer. I booked this cruise only a week in advance and was happy to be offered an upgrade to a better cabin for practically nothing but was disappointed to discover that the $25 credit that was promised to me when booking was not honored when I got on the boat. When I asked why Guest Services said I had to have booked more than a month prior when the website stated differently and was promised by .

Food and Dining

Ended up with food poisoning on the second day and was sick the rest of the cruise. Ended up eating mostly soup and salads as a result. Buffet really didn’t have much variety from day to day and frequently had the same food but prepared a little different. I have been on many cruises so expected a variety of choices such as Mexican, Spanish, Asian, American and such but found no such variety unless paying extra in the restaurant places or having to deal with a restaurant type where dinner took an hour. Drinks were expensive as well and you are no longer allowed to bring water on board.

Forced to attend this restaurant for food after Buffet closes and is where I got food poisoning after having the chicken fajitas. Most boats have a place near the buffets on top that offer pizza and burgers 24/7 but the Escape does not do this.
Entertainment

Shows were ok. Singers were decent but music selection didn't give their voices justice. At least the shows were geared more towards my generation this time instead of the more older generation which is what I have found on other cruises.

Ship tip
Watch what you eat and always wash your hands or apply hand sanitizer as much as possible to avoid sickness
Was still sick but was able to walk for an hour. Store prices within compound were good but walk outside the gate into more local shops and they tried to scam you on prices. Better to stay within the gates.
Sorry you got sick but food poisoning symptoms can occur up to ten days after ingestion. Are you sure it was from those fajitas? Also recovery is usually in a day or two. Are you sure it wasn't a virus?
