Review summary

Three things...... Jackie Tang is the BEST cruise director! Don't miss the mojito tasting! The Jose Cuervo tequila tasting excursion is so much fun!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It went smoothly, but there was nothing special about it. The guy we had at the entry desk wasn't very welcoming.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The buffet was always delicious. We loved Food Republic and Cagney's Steakhouse. Had so much fun at the mojito tasting at Sugarcane's and kept going back to that bar every night.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the games in the atrium, led by the cruise director and his staff. He made our evenings so much fun! We loved the spa, all of the live music, and the moments of downtime.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We so enjoyed all of the live music each evening and the games led by the cruise director and staff. Don't remember the name of our favorite band, but it was three guys from the islands, who sang motown.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Jackie Tang is SO MUCH FUN! He made the trip for us! We enjoyed the atrium events each night. We encountered the best of the best in service in the restaurants, our room steward and with every activity we participated in.

Ship Quality

We love the Escape! The spa is my very favorite place, and I could vacation there every year.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The spa cabin was the perfect size for us. Loved the spa shower and the balcony.

Ship tip

Upon embarkation, have lunch at Savor or Taste, if you want to get away from the crowds in the atrium.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the city tour upon disembarkation. The new port is going to be awesome when it's finished. Can't wait to see it on our next trip.

Harvest Caye, Belize

Such an awesome pool! Wish we could have spent two days there.
