robbykapnj Posted October 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Which ship is better? I'm surprised Escape is newer (and will sail from New York) yet doesn't have Bliss / a nightclub. Does Escape also not have Fat Cats? Is there a different bar with a blues band instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askmelanie Posted October 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Escape is an updated version of the Breakaway and Getaway. Very similar, yet vastly better. The Escape has District Brew House, a beer bar, which has trivia nights, and the Skyview bar in the casino instead of Bliss lounge. Much better design and fun spot to hang out late night.

robbykapnj Posted October 5, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks! Is there a band/lounge that replaced fat cats blues bar (which on the Epic is the cavern club)? Do we still have the same amount of live music? Is there a dedicated lounge for this like on the other ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess@Sea Posted October 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2017 They are very similar but I have a slight preference for Escape. Many small subtle improvements making her more visually pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathermiller86nj Posted October 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Does Escape have the blues bar / cavern club? Or is there another dedicated bar to live music like on the Epic and Breakaway besides the Atrium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellyflopchamp Posted October 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I have not been on Escape but from reviews that I have read it does sound like they have live music in the District Brew House. I dont know if it is a band or just one guy but the reviews say that it is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMike Posted October 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Been on both ships, both are very similar with some things swapped out as mentioned in the posts above. It also doesn't have the Ice Bar. For live music you really only have the musical act that they have booked playing in the Atrium Bar, which is also good, although I preferred the "Fire and Ice" musical duo from Breakaway much better but these acts are also changing every 6 months.

AdGuyMG Posted October 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks! Is there a band/lounge that replaced fat cats blues bar (which on the Epic is the cavern club)? Do we still have the same amount of live music? Is there a dedicated lounge for this like on the other ships? It's the 5'Oclock Somewhere club located in the same place as Fat Cats. It's also used for karaoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbykapnj Posted October 6, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Is there no live music nightly bar like fat cats? Does the Escape have 1 less band (no Beatles band, no blues band)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksv Posted October 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Escape has larger (deeper) balconies than Breakaway and Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrandal Posted October 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Sailed on the Getaway and the Escape, and we loved both, with a slight edge on the Escape. As intended, they made slight improvements on the ships with the Escape, and in my opinion it worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
