Review summary

First time cruisers and younger cruisers will like the ship. We prefer a little smaller ship and some quite place onboard. A Maine to coastal Canada cruise with no lobster at dinner without paying for it, really? Just know you have to book everything, dining and entertainment as soon as you can on these mega-ships.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The one we saw was good, but not knowing how to handle a mega-ship we did not know you had to book most entertainment early or before you arrived, so only saw one major show.

Size is what the new ships provide. Comfort just ok, bed not real good. Room was clean.

Ship tip

4200+ passengers, noise (loud everywhere) no quite place to have a drink and relax.

We loved the Escape! That was our first cruise, but we went to all of the shows! Just read the paper every night and book your shows!

If it makes you feel better I know cruisers always complain about lobster Google it I personally don't eat lobster but when you read about that they used to use it for dog food and feed prisoners with it maybe to make you feel better for not eating it LOL

I agree went to Bermuda and stayed in the Haven found the lobster on the menu for the would rather cheesy paid $7,000 to two people also the ship was packed quad to move around on the elevator and the ship that was a waste of space

Stinks no lobster. All cruises used to have at least one lobster night and you'd think Maine to coastal Canada there'd be one?? Carnival even had lobster night going to Caribbean and we were shocked! We haven't been on mega ship yet and not sure we will with having to book shows etc..... Thank you for great review! 😎👍
