Last month my wife and I took our first, and possibly our last cruise. We sailed on the Island Escape and the holiday was a nightmare from start to finish. Most of our first day was spent in a Majorca hotel waiting for the ship to arrive. When the ship finally sailed it did so several hours late and did so at 3.20am. We totally missed our third and fifth ports of call due to bad weather. We sailed from Naples and missed Livorno as the Captain stated that it was too dangerous and better for the comfort of passengers if we stayed at sea. We sailed into Toulon, still in a force 10 gale. Overstayed in Toulon because of the weather so missed Barcelona. The Captain didn't deem it too dangerous to dock at then sail from Toulon straight back to Majorca where he had new passengers waiting to board. Oh the ship also broke down. The engines cut out one evening and there was a total shipwide blackout. We were adrift for over half an hour and it was 10 minutes or so before the emergency lighting came on, even then I struggled to see my hand in front of my face. Oh and as for all inclusive, there were so many resrictions on what we could have it was ridiculous. I've had my first and last holiday with Island Cruises.
