Island Escape Cruise Ship reviews
This was our 1st Cruise and last with Thomsons The ship was full to capacity and 90% had the tummy bug. Cleanliness was paramount. Everyone had to use hand cleanser on entering the restaurants, which was good, but still people were falling down with the Norovirus bug that... more

We, like many others, were slightly worried after reading some of the reviews about this ship. However, we are still struggling now to work out what people have been complaining about. We had an outside cabin on deck 6 and it was more than adequate in size and comfort for... more

We cruised around the Canary Island on the Thomson Island Escape (March 2011) and had a lovely break. The food was good and there was plenty of it and both my husband and myself loved the freedom dining (eat what you want, when you want). The weather was a bit overcast for... more
