Review summary

We had been on Escape last year when the cruise was cut short by Irma. Were eager to get back & "finish" the cruise. The ship is beautiful, although I admit I prefer a bit smaller ship. Food, service & crew were great. Would definitely cruise again on Escape & recommend it to others.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
A bit chaotic & disorganized at first, but NYC always seems to be that way. Embarkation staff was very friendly and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Bayamo by Ocean Blue

5 out of 5

Excellent food. Restaurant was quiet. Staff friendly & attentive.

Cagney's Steakhouse

4 out of 5

Traditionally we go to Cagney's the first & last night of the cruise. The food is always excellent. However, on this cruise, as well as our last cruise in June the service was very slow on the last night. Staff was running around like mad - I suspect there just aren't enough wait staff for the volume of diners. Finally some of the managers stepped in which seemed to help the flow.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Don't participate too much in these so not really fair to require a rating

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Saw Choir of Man. As previous reviewers have written, show was great, food so-so. Venue made it awkward to see everything that was going on from where we were seated, and we had gotten there early.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great staff & crew. Saw more of the senior officers on this cruise than any other (this was #21). Everyone very friendly, outgoing & helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the Waterfront

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Ketut our room steward was the best. The cabin was always clean & well stocked. Very comfortable bed, lots of storage room

Ship tip

If you're not into all the activity around the pool, especially on a sea day head to the Waterfront.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda
