Our first cruise which we really enjoyed and would go again.



First Choice were good but our cabins got mixed up somehow in the paper work, which meant we had to ask to move.

I am a teenager and can I say the ship is fantastic. I highly recommend it to all you first time cruisers out there.



The ship is perfect for families and middle aged people. It really is relaxed friendly and informal.

I want to keep this short and sweet. Don’t take any notice of the negative reviews.



There were 18 of us celebrating a 50th Birthday, and from the minute we boarded till the minute we left we just had a ball.

As this was our first experience of cruising we don’t have anything to compare our holiday with except our other land holidays and we had to say that overall, we really enjoyed our time aboard the informal Island Escape.

Just returned from a week's all inclusive on the Island Escape. The holiday was our honeymoon.

I would tend to agree with some previous posts on the state of the ship, it seemed to have been stuck in a bit of a time warp but then, it was always clean, and it always felt safe! (apart from leaving Palma when the boat felt like it was going to roll... read more
