Island Escape’s photographs show I309 in 2004–2005 and the I308 arrangement in later evidence. The logo sits towards the rear except on I308’s port side, where it moves forward so the lettering can follow. The change also replaced the earlier hull logo with the funnel design and is dated between 20 January 2006 and 2 January 2007.
Island Cruises was founded in 2001 as a Royal Caribbean/First Choice venture and began service in 2002. TUI acquired First Choice, then Royal Caribbean’s share in October 2008. Island Escape passed to Thomson Cruises. The cited article says both that Island branding remained and that sailings were sold under Thomson; Rosanoski notes the old funnel still present in November 2013.
