Hi Dolly,

Hubby & I have booked our first cruise on the island escape next June, like you we were worried about the bad reports. Some people are always going to moan where ever they go, from what I have read through searching on line and others is the ship is a bit dated and cabins a bit small but the cruise it's self and staff on board are good. At the end of the day most of the time isn't going to be spend on the ship. Dont know if now that Thomsons have taken it over if they will do any upgrades before we go next year.
I even searched on youtube and found pictures of the inside, not recent but looks fine, see if link below works
