MidtheNight

We wear our bathing suits on-board so we grab lunch, then grab some drinks and sit in/by the hot tub. Dinner reservations for specialty are usually made before we do online check in so once cabins are ready just drop what we walked onboard with and make a show reservation if it's one we want to see, then back to the hot tub (or walk around to get the lay of the land if it's not a ship we've been on before) until we sail away.  Within 2 hours at the hot tub we've already made friends with a few of the waiters on deck...by the next day on deck they call us by our names without seeing our card and have already figured out what we like to drink and how often to come by....all by taking just a few moments talking with them (asking them about them and where they are from and what they like the most about where they're from).

We've got an upcoming trip on Escape (our 2nd on this ship).  What we loved the first time...Howl at the Moon and of course Cagney's/Moderno/Teppanyaki and the 21 and older area at the stern of the ship (great place to jump in the hot tub without the munchins trying to fit 20 into one). What we didn't exactly love was District Brew House...we love going to craft breweries and even travel to get to some brewfests and what they consider to be "craft beer" for the most part is main stream beer you can buy anywhere in the USA in any state....what we didn't like at all was O'Sheehan's (it's almost always slammed and we got cold food (which should have been hot) there not once but twice on the last trip).  

If I remember correctly it might have been either the Seaward or the Leeward that you are thinking of.
