I have been on 3 cruises so far and by far the MV Island Escape is the best. I would recommend the Island to anyone, it caters for everyone, the facilities available on board were fanstastic again catering for young and old, there was several restaurants to choose from and an abundance of food in each, the entertainment provided was excellent: something for everyone. The cleansiness of the ship was brilliant. The ports of call and the shore excursions were superb. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and pleasent. I could not fault the MV Island Escape and would highly recommend it. I really enjoyed it so much that Iam going back next year for a 2 week cruise.

All the facilities on board were brilliant. Plenty of things to do and see. There were several lounges that we enjoyed relaxing and chilling out in at night watching the spectacular shows available. Up on deck was fantastic, perfect for topping up your tan, the scenery was spectacular. The pool area was lovely, cleansiness was of a high standard.

The restaurants were excellent, an abundance to choose from, several cuisines available. The Beachcomber was open 24 hours.. suited me great. We used the Island Restaurant constantly, it was a nice casual restaurant, the staff were superb, friendly, outgoing, well mannered and polite.. just what makes the holiday.

We were situated on deck 6, the cabin was excellent, cleansiness was brilliant, there was enough space available in the cabin. We had a cabin stewardess whom we could contact 24 hours which was excellent if we needed anything. The cabin was very quiet and again the cleaners were very friendly and again I could not fault them for anything.

I found the entertainment superb, a lot of time preparation and hard work went into these shows, there were many shows available throughout the evenings, something in every lounge. I found the last night excellent, the captain came on stage and all the staff gathered to say their farewells, I found this fantastic.. as we have never had that before.

The ports of call were fantastic and the choice was excellent. good value for money.

The passengers were excellent so friendly, outgoing, met plenty of new friends
