Creator's Key Takeaways

This is actually our second time we've been on the Escape.

It's a lot quieter. It's limited to a very select few. So, it's a great way to be able to beat the crowds.

What I love about this is it is adults only.

We had our first dinner here on embarcation day and it was fantastic. The service was exceptional.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Register for the Vibe private sun deck as soon as you board because passes run out quickly.
If you want a quieter spot at the buffet, get away from the front and elevators.
Use the internet cafe for comfortable seating and outlets, as they are hard to find elsewhere on the ship.

These are the essentials we pack in our bags every time we cruise or travel to Europe. They come in an affordable six pack which you can find at this link: https://amzn.to/44ixS0U Strongman Tools Strong Magnetic Hooks—A couple of these 6-pack sets of hooks are always with us when we cruise. Each individual hook can hold up to 30 lbs of weight and is ideal for hanging coats, hats, and the shelves described below. Get your set of these useful magnetic hooks at this link: https://amzn.to/3UDrVbJ Whitmor 5 Section Closet Organizer—Unfortunately, drawer and shelf space are sometimes limited in some cruise cabins. That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers, which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We typically use a couple of magnetic hooks, as described above, to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room. Here’s the link where you can get yours: https://amzn.to/3w3GvQn Our Recommended Camera Gear DJI Osmo Pocket 3--You’ll usually see Tracey using this in almost all of our videos.
