Cruise Line: Island Cruises Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Island Escape Sailed: March, 2009
Destination: Transatlantic Age: 65+
Cabin: Balcony Occasion: Birthday
Firstly, have to say that the ship was in desperate need of a refurbishment. We enjoyed eating in the 'Island Restaurant' (buffet) where the choice of food was excellent. For a one off (Birthday treat) we ate in the 'Oasis Restaurant' which was £25 per couple inclusive of one bottle of wine! All the restaurant staff on the ship were very attentive.

Edgar our cabin steward looked after us well during the cruise and our cabin was kept clean and tidy. No complaints there. The entertainment and staff did an excellent job.

The drinks were reasonably priced for a cruise ship. On the whole we were very impressed with the Cruise and found it good value for the money that we paid!! We look back on this holiday with nothing but 'happy memories'. Thank you.

Ate mostly in the 'Island Restaurant' - the choice of food was amazing and there was nothing that we did not like!

We enjoyed all the shows - with the exception the elderly Scots entertainer who played the bag pipes.

Our favourite excusrion was 'Christ the Redeemer' in Rio. Least favourite stop was Ilheus.
