We are on the Escape July 15 for the first time. Your review is making us SO excited! Thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to allow us to live vicariously through you, Susan, and your parents!

Really enjoying your pictures. We will be on Escape in Sept for our anniversary. We've been on Getaway twice and love it so hoping we love the Escape just as much.

 

By the way, we, too, love sailing out of Vancouver and Miami.

 

Can't wait for the rest of your review. Thanks again for the great pictures.

My parents were still sleeping, so Susan and I went to Breakfast in Taste.

 

 

Coffee!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Melon Plate

 

 

I ordered peaches and blueberries. Do you see the peaches or blueberries?

 

 

I will say the yogurt parfait was very good, but just not what I was quite expecting!

 

Susan got an Omelette, with Bacon and English muffin.

 

 

Eggs Benedict. oh how I have missed you.

Mingling before the Meet & Greet started.

 

 

The Escape was awesome with flights of beer being passed about and all sorts of different appetizers.

 

 

Tgloersen - Trace and Maria - came and were close by me in this picture. On the bar counter you can see the beer flights. Also we had good turn out for our gift exchange and the gifts are up on the bar as well.

The Meet & Greet was awesome. we had excellent participation from our roll call, and had over 50 to 70 people attend. If you were on our sailing ,Thank you for coming.

 

At 1 pm, we headed down to the Casino and 27 of us did the Slot Pull. Thank you Cyndi_at_home for organizing. Cyndi pictured with Fran who was helping her!

 

 

We had a lot of fun and made lots of noise.

 

 

No big jackpots, but we all had a ton of fun!

 

Mom, Dad, Susan and I headed to O'Sheehans for a late lunch.

 

 

Mom was leary of going back because they did not have a great experience the night before on the Prime Rib night. Her's was tough and not very good in her opinion.

Mom's salad came out way before the rest of entrees. Finally, when she was done, our entrees came out.

 

Hot Dog

 

 

Bacon Burger

 

 

We complained about the slow pace of the food, and they offered Milkshakes for desert. We talked then into some of the Banana Splits, although Dad did get a milkshake.
