disappointed but excursions were good

I went on holiday from the 25th of June to the 2nd of July on the Island Escape with my partner. I was disappointed when first entering the cruise ship, it was dated and looked dirty. We headed to the cabin to freshen up before heading around Palma, the cabins were basic but very clean. The aircon was very noisy but it kept us very cool, the housekeeping staff were really helpful, and made sure we were okay after our day of being seasick, we got along great with our cabin stewardess who was very nice and chatty. The staff work extremely hard to make sure everything looks clean in the rooms. I enjoyed the excursions we went to which were great, although one of the tour guides was extremely rude and made me feel uncomfortable, I felt most of the tours were rushed and you never got full days and only a few hours to look around but they were fun and my favourite was Pompei. I didn't eat much on the cruise even though it was all inclusive because I felt sea sick and because of norovirus and bugs going around I felt put off, plus the food was luke warm and was tastless but there was plenty of options to chose from. There was a lot of entertainment which I enjoyed and there was a swimming pool and places to sit and enjoy the sun set and rise. I liked how there were quiet parts of the boat to sit and enjoy the quiet and there were seats around the boat to just sit. I didn't feel like drinking on the holiday as didn't want to make myself even sicker but there was plenty of alcoholic drinks to choose from, all inclusive!. I liked the idea of photos being taken in the morning, and the staff dressed up to take photos with you which made it fun, and they were on sale in evening time. The staff were really friendly, always made you feel welcome and always greeted you with a smile, I feel they were very hardworking and provided good service and treatment. There are many bars and places to eat on board, informal and formal. The captain was really nice, he announced the weather each morning and told us if the sea would be calm or rough and I enjoyed his stories which were funny and his quotes of the day, made the cruise feel much personal.
I think if you are looking for an informal cruise then this is the cruise to go on, its outdated and the food isn't anything special but the entertainment is good and there is a wide range of drinks and you get looked after by staff, the excursions are good and the tour guides spoke very good English and knew a lot about the places we were going. I suggest you book all your excursions either online before you go or on your first day because spaces go fast. I would also recommend keeping your hands clean and keeping good hygiene, and making good use of hand santizers around the ship to avoid becoming ill.I think you should go with an open mind and enjoy yourself, first day at sea maybe rough and you may get seasick so if you are prone to motion sickness take some medicine but I did enjoy myself overall, It was my first cruise and I think I will do another one. I think this cruise is aimed at family and young couples and couples with children as there are different ages that went on this cruise. So overall I think i'd rate it a 5/10 but I am looking forward to my next cruise.
