I think your expectations are way too high. To rate the beautiful cities of Palma and Valletta so low should tell everyone what they need to know.

I’ve been on this ship, if you can’t find a single thing to enjoy I’d say that’s more on you.

Like others have stated, I can't believe that it's the worst cruise and you have nothing hood to say. I've been on the Escape twice and had a great time on both, with great food, service and crew were great as well.

Ship not equipped for big crowds?? Did they book more people than they have capacity for our something? Unlikely.

I understand the letdowns here and there, but when everything is subpar, I chalk it up to the person. Always research ship, cruiseline AND itinerary to ensure it meets expectations. I suggest reaching out to a travel agent. To find nothing enjoyable is absurd- note: I’m going by the rating. I read this entirely in Livia Soprano’s voice.

Worthless review when someone says things are fine yet gives it 1 or 2 stars.

The casinos must be closed due to the gambling laws in countries and the same for the ships due to duty free and taxes.
