Just got back yesterday from 7 night cruise on the Island Escape. We have never cruised before & actually haven't been abroad for 15 years so were very apprehensive to say the least, especially after reading some of the previous reviews.

Just back from a cruise/stay holiday on the Island Escape. I can't believe some of the bad comments. I've met people who have holidayed on this boat 7 years running and everyone I seemed to speak to had been on it before. Infact, there was a constant st... read more

We were virgin cruisers and had no idea what to expect! Our booking journey direct with Island Cruises was impeccable considering we booked only a few days before we cruised.
Airport transfers were fairly smooth although we arrived to baggage collec... read more

Well where do I start? Having read the reviews on this site and being cruise virgins we were a little concerned on what to find when we arrived on the docks in Palma.

All right the ship is not brand new and the cabins are not massive but who ... read more

My husband and myself went on the Med Discovery Cruise on 24th June for 7 days.
I went with much trepidation after reading some very critical reports on the Island Escape.

Well, we have just spent the last week (24th June – 2nd July) sailing around the Med and it was great fun! This was our very first experience of a cruise and it was also our honeymoon. We were both a little unsure as to what to expect, but we were far f... read more

Me my husband and 89 year old dad went on this our first cruise. We wanted something informal as at 89 my dad does not want to be trussed up in a dinner suit to eat. We booked a premier outside cabin with a restricted view so we could all share and aft... read more

It was our first time on a cruise and didn't want a formal cruise. We found this ideal as we felt we did not have to dress up if we did not want to. The crew were very friendly. The entertainment was great, with a good variety, for all age groups. The... read more

Got back last Tuesday(17/06/08) after a wonderfull 2 weeks on the Island Escape. Reading all the reviews so far on this ship, the main concern seems to be the state of the ship. It's not the Oceania, QM2, or the QE2, and it dosen't pretend to be. I would ... read more

Overall experience was good staff and people very friendly.

I am writing this review to warn people about the very bad exchange rate given if you pay your bill in EURO the rate given is .54 pence sterling to 1euro which is a complete rip off... read more
