By Dennington, on 29th Mar 2011
We sailed on the Island
Escape on the 18th of
March 2011. We were wary
of the previous reviews
however, upon arrival we
were given room 9000,
right at the front of the
ship...
ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Canaries
By Macdonald, Biggleswade on 28th Mar 2011
We wanted something cheap
simple a quick due to our
social calender. We have
sailed with Thomson
before and knew what to
expect it filled our
expectations. The inside
cabin was Ok a bit tatty

By Menzies, Moffat on 27th Mar 2011
My last two reviews were
on MSC Orchestra and

By mcadam, Belfast on 21st Mar 2011
My wife myself & 2
friends went on this
cruise on 11 March2011.
We had been looking
forward to it but what a
let down. We had been on
several of Thomsons ships
before and never been
disappointed...
ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Canaries
By Zirmer, Knaresborough on 21st Mar 2011
I had hoped, having read
so many negative reviews
about this cruise, to be
able to post one which
was somewhat more
positive and we went into
this holiday with a
positive outlook,
however, I’m...

By Pinkney, Bradford on 12th Mar 2011
We have just got back
from sailing on the
Island Escape Colourful
Coasts, now as much as I
prefer this ship to a
larger one I have to say
all the time it spent in
dry dock for a refit you
cannot see...

By Pope, Barwell on 10th Mar 2011
We recently returned from
the Colourful Coast trip

what to expect...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Canaries
By Frielich, Ilford, Essex on 7th Mar 2011
As the title suggests,
this cruise did fulfil
its promises on service,
entertainment and
efficiency. The outward
and return journeys were
on time and embarkation
and disembarkation were
undertaken...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By SNEDDON, CHELSEA, LONDON, on 4th Mar 2011
This was my 'maiden
voyage' so to speak and
although well-travelled I
had never been on a big
ship before and this was
a chance for me to try
out a different type of
holiday - the thought of
having a...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Grove, High Wycombe on 4th Mar 2011
This ship docked too far
from main docking area in

Overall not to bad an
experiance but DONT book
a cabin at the front of
the ship as the waves
crash all night and the
engine noice...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Payne, Birmingham on 2nd Mar 2011
Last August my husband

previously. Naples for
Pompeii was amazing and
Ajaccio on...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Hutchinson, Lisburn on 20th Nov 2010
We had a most enjoyable
cruise on the Island
Escape in June. That's
the third time we have
chosen that ship (despite
having been twice on the
QE2). The direct flight
Belfast/Palma is more
convenient...

By O'Neill, Nottingham on 15th Oct 2010
The island Escape is
nice, Just a little old.
When I say old it needs a
huge refurb.
The food is nice enough
there's plenty off choice
and it's hot which is the
main thing...

By dillon, hull on 11th Oct 2010
If anyone is looking for
a first time cruise, and
not sure if they will
like cruising then I
would suggest a Thomson
cruise - and try the
Island Escape. I have
sailed on her 3 times now
and find the...

Thanks to the advice and

Yet another lovely cruise
for us, a group of nine

we always say, its what
you make of the holiday
yourself that matters,
yes the ship is tired and

By Rogerson, Bury on 10th Sep 2010
We recently sailed on the
Island Escape - 7 nights
from Palma around the
northern med. I will say
straight from the start,
you do get what you pay
for. We paid £580
each for the 7 nights...
