We loved the Escape. How could you be bored, lots to do. Or just chill. Read a book. Talk about how great it is to be on a cruise.

No TV? Do you spend money to sit in your cabin and watch TV? Ever consider staying home?

Pre-paid gratuities are the daily service charge. You can pre-pay it or it gets charged to your onboard account and pay it at the end of the cruise.
