difference between the breakaway and the escape

We did the Breakaway this summer and looking into the escape for next year, it seems very similiar are they?

The Escape is a Breakaway Plus class. It is based on the Breakaway but has some differences.

Principally, the Escape has an extra deck of cabins and has the Food Republic restaurant and Brewhouse bar towards the front of deck 8.

Individual restaurants and bars are different, and there are other things like a bigger ropes course and different slides. Obviously the entertainment is different.

Basically, the Escape is a bigger version of the Breakaway, with some extra features and some differences, but if you have been on one you won't get lost on the other.

thank you

Escape has 3 less years of wear and exposure to the elements.

No, they are not the same class.

Breakaway/Getaway are the Breakaway Class

Escape/Joy/Bliss are the Breakaway Plus Class.

They are similar but Escape is slightly bigger.

Here's another thread that discusses more of the differences.
