This was my 2nd cruise

By Harris, Boston on 18th May 2012
This was a nightmare from
start to finish. The
reviews of the Island
Escape are mixed, but I
have to say I am not sure
why they are that
positive. To have your
holiday spoilt by
constant banging on...

You only need to read the
varying reviews on this
site to understand that
the Island Escape is a

our suitcases there was a

to our coach...

Have just returned today
