Awesome Escape 11/21/15 through 12/5/15

My review of Escape:

 

We sailed on Escape 11/21/15 through 12/5/15. The ship is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Stepping onto the ship is like being reunited by family with many of the crew who we have become personal friends with made the sailing extra special as always. Sean is the absolute hotelier and he and his team always go the extra mile to ensure our vacation is the vacation of a lifetime. He is Numero Uno HD. Rashida the HD secretary is awesome and she is just amazing. She is the best of the best. Asst HD Errol goes above and beyond as well as FB Director Martin and Bar Manager Jose. Ronney D'Souza the Executive Houskeeper made sure our cabin was filled with my favorite towel animals. Cabin looked awesome as always.

We were in cabin 14282 which was close to Aft elevator which was a great location. First week we had a fabulous room steward named Arvin. He was fabulous. Second week it was not Arvin and you could surely tell the difference.

We saw the show Million Dollar Quartet which was a fabulous show.

After Midnight was an okay show but I found it to be too long. Just so much tap dancing one can stand. Howl at the moon was lots of fun. We enjoyed it very much. Wine Lovers was nice show as well. We seen it twice on Getaway and loved it here as well. We also saw the Brenda Braxton live cabaret show which we loved. She was engaging and funny and has a fabulous voice. It was a dinner show and the food was very good as well and fabulous presentation of the dishes.

We also went to Brat Pack For the Record also a dinner show, show was fabulous however dinner menu needs lots of tweaking.

We dined in Le Bistro, Moderno, Taste, Savor, Manhattan Room, Pincho, Food Republic, La Cucina and Margaritaville . We ate in Margaritaville the first week when it was still a complimentary dining venue.

Food in all dining venues were top notch and well prepared. Service was a bit slow but I was on vacation so really didn't care. Wait staff seemed happy and smiling and engaging except in Margaritaville where not many smiled. Maybe because it was just too hot there for them.

 

We really enjoyed the atrium and would listen to the music after dinner there and chat with awesome Jr Bar Server named Loan from St Lucia. I never seen anyone takes orders and clean tables as fast as her.

The cupcakes on the Escape from the bake shop were 100 times better then the Carlo Bakery ones on Breakaway and Getaway in my opinion. Great change.

My only complaint was when walking under the beautiful chandelier by Le Bistro the smell of smoke from casino was very overpowering. Sometimes you could actually see a haze of smoke and it made my eyes and throat burn. That issue really needs to be addressed for sure. I really don't know how people could dine outside there in Le Bistro with the heavy smoke smell.

I liked the layout of Sugarcane Mojito Bar better on the Escape and really didn't get to enjoy it on the Escape so I really can't rate it.

I never ever in the two weeks onboard walked through Garden Cafe so cannot comment on that as well.

Mini Golf was fun as well. We didn't spend anytime on pool deck , just walked through it as we do on all ships.

I can say this was a fabulous two weeks onboard the Escape and I look forward to doing it again soon with my Norwegian Family.
