I loved the Escape. I've loved every cruise, though. Thermal Spa package is awesome.

Was on the Escape in May loved it yes bars are crowded but never had to wait for a drink and always a place to sit there were many activities and we enjoyed our cruise. It is what you make of it 2 people on the same cruise doing the same things can have totally different experiences. Shame you didn’t enjoy

We have been on both and like the getaway better by a small margin. Liked grotto area better in Getaway.

I agree. We were on the escape last year and there was little to no entertainment in my opinion. The bars were so crowded you better get a vibe pass. The staff are rude and not overly friendly. We stayed in the Haven and I’m glad because our butler and concierge were great and we could escape the huge crowds everywhere else. Even the bar there was not good. Food was amazing.

The Bliss is totally greatness. We had 15 days Miami-Panama Canal-LA in May this year. So beautiful. You will love it.

Cruised on the Escape January 2018. LOVED IT. Been on the Getaway before that. Loved it, too, but not as much as the Escape. Now going to try the Bliss in January 2019. Hope it just keeps getting better and better.

We travelled east Caribbean in 2016 & had a fabulous time. Not one complaint. It’s a pretty ship. Loved it.

I was on the Escape last year. Not a single complaint. I'll be on the Breakaway in Nov. I expect it will be as good as the Escape. 🍹🌴🍹⛵
