Review summary

While we had a great vacation, as everything worked, beds were made all the time, rooms and common areas were cleaned, there a few items to consider:

1) The Margaritaville Restaurant does not live up to its name. Is just the Open Bar of before, rebranded.

2) The Ship is spinning image of the Getaway. No difference noticeable.

3) Breakfast, oh breakfast. I know we are on vacation and on "Island Time" but for Taste and Savor, on both the Escape and the Getaway, I cannot fathom why it takes an eternity and a half to whip some eggs. We are talking over 30 minutes for eggs, french toast, etc. And they were not that busy. Trust me, we are early risers.

With that said, the Rope Course is improved over the Getaway and the Water slides are great. Except for the yellow, poor, poor design causes you (ANYONE) to stop half way down have to push yourself with your hands.

Bottom line: I'd recommend it to others but I would like to try other ships paying close attention to amenities and offerings on board.
