Escape was amazing! The only thing that I did not enjoy was the show The Cotton Club but other than that amazing!

Hmmmm🤔 You gave it four stars:.. but will be your last.... Your review sounds good except you didn’t want to participate in anything. And the pool was cold. Lol.. And it was your first cruise so debarkation and embarkation can be a little confusing at first.. but that’s no reason to not go again. It is what you make of it. If you want to be miserable. Your trip will be miserable. If you want to have a good time. You definitely will!!

Sorry you were not impressed with your cruise. Try a different cruise line and hopefully you will have a better experience.

Interesting. I've never had a cruise I said I wouldn't go on again. Now the Carnival Splendor there was nothing memorable on the ship however the views were amazing. Based on your profile this was your first cruise? So why did you book on a mega ship? Did you not do your research on crew ship members? Because the beautiful thing about cruise lines is they prefer to hire foreign nationalities usually the Phillipines to work on the ships. Thats why in my opinion most of the cruise directors are British,Australian, or English. Because it gives the cruisers a sense of culture immersion. I think you had a bad experience because you weren't ready for the mega ship cruise. I would always recommend anyone who has never cruised before to go on a smaller ship because it can be overwhelming. I'm just a little confused how you were not impressed? Over 20 restaurants, activities out the wazoo and one of the coolest water parks. Then again it may have been the time of year you went as well either way Im sorry you were not impressed.

If the service was wonderful the cabin comfortable and the food was wonderful why won’t you sail again? It was up to you to participate in activities, go to shows and get involved.

Looks like you didn't even try to enjoy it. You didn't go to any shows or participate in any onboard activities. Cruising is what you make it. But then again, cruising isn't for everyone either.
