ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By graham, carrickfergus on 4th Sep 2010
Our experience of this

unenthusiastic about
cruising. My husband and
2 children , aged 10 and
6 had an inside cabin on
deck 5 near the main
reception...

Holiday Overall
We have been on the
Island Escape several
times before, but the
ship did look a bit run
down. I believe it is
due for a refurbish soon.
However, it is clean (on
the whole) and the...

By Allsop, Blackburn on 21st Aug 2010
Have just returned from
Island cruise. As it was
our first cruise nothing

on her but please don't

Have just returned from a
week in the med on the
Island Escape - have only
sailed with princess

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Lawrence, Northampton on 13th Aug 2010
High season cruising can
be expensive but if you
are prepared to
compromise a little on
the luxury other big
brand ships offer, you
need not miss out on good
quality food, reasonable
entertainment, ...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Gowing, Norwich on 16th Jul 2010
The Island Escape is an
old ship in need of a
facelift and an update,
but is is clean and tidy.
The crew and staff work
hard to keep it this way,
but when the crome plate
has been polished away
it's...

ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Mediterranean
By Walker, Goole on 23rd Jun 2010
We returned to the Island
Escape after a three year
absence, so this review
is going to be a kind of
'then and now'
comparison. We had an
early flight into Palma
so were relaxed about
getting on...

Only started cruising in

devotees of the
'informal' cruise
(previously done Island
Star, Ocean Village and
Thomson Destiny), we knew
what...
ISLAND CRUISES / Island Escape / Canaries
By KILLEEN, BIRMINGHAM on 17th May 2010
We have cruised on the
Ocean Village previously

PATCH ON THE OCEAN
VILLAGE.
The cabins were not of
the same standard - much
smaller and not as airy,
they...
