Rare BirdTravels Posted May 18, 2023 Author #102 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The Spice H20 is the adult only sundeck. It is also used at night for theme parties. The water feature on the Escape, The Grotto, is the best water feature in the fleet. Unfortunately, it also has one of the two smoking areas on the ship. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 18, 2023 Author #103 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The Aqua Park features The Aqua Racer slide (that takes you out over the edge of the ship), a family slide, and two free fall slides where the floor drops from under your feet. The Aqua Park also includes the kids splash area and family pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re sailing this week with just shy of 4700 passengers. The ship’s capacity is 4266. So we’re at about 110% capacity. But,,, just under 200 young cruisers this week (mostly infants and small children,,, not as many teens). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 18, 2023 Author #107 Share Posted May 18, 2023 In the port of Costa Maya, performers preform the Dance of the Flyers (Danza de Los Voladores). Remember, they risk their lives climbing up the 30 meter poll and flying, just tied to a rope, for tips. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 19, 2023 Author #110 Share Posted May 19, 2023 For those of you who are “above the law” and ignore the admonishments in the Freestyle Daily and signs on the gangway, Mexican customs and boarder protection were doing inspections of all bags being brought ashore. They had several large bins of confiscated items. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted May 19, 2023 #111 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Thank you for the menu. I am on Encore and I thought about it maybe not being on Escape last night after I posted. Very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 19, 2023 Author #114 Share Posted May 19, 2023 If the Captain kindly asks you to disembark when you are far from land, follow your muster station instructions carefully. You want they reserved seat on a lifeboat. You don’t want to miss your boat and end up in a crew raft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 19, 2023 Author #117 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Today the Escape is calling in Cozumel. As yesterday, Mexican customs and border control were inspecting bags. Today, the inspectors and dogs seemed to be targeting food. Yesterday, in Costa Maya, they were confiscating various contraband items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted May 19, 2023 Author #120 Share Posted May 19, 2023 There were different things in the “bad bins”,,,, mostly food. The most unusual thing The Bird saw were sea shells. There were passengers being disembarked this morning. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
