Our first cruise -loved it. Yes, the Island Escape is a bit tired but it is a proper ship which a lot of the more exclusive ships lack. The decks are not all taken over by balconies and there are lots of decks to walk round. Even better, lots of... read more

Starting with the flight everything went smoothly, I... read more

Having sailed on the Island Star and now the Island Escape, we cannot fault either of them.



Perhaps the Escape was a little bit tired and worn in places, but was nonetheless a most relaxing and wonderful experience.

This is the first time I have been on a cruise and we went following recommendation from friends. I found this cruise disappointing. This ship can only be compared to a floating holiday camp with sub-standard and dated entertainment. The quality... read more

We went on our honeymoon on the Island Escape and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are absolutely brilliant. I don't know how the management did it, but you get the impression the crew genuinely enjoy working on the Escape and are having a ball.
