Review summary

Having sailed on this ship and the Getaway once before, I was surprised at how crowded everything felt. It was difficult to find a seat at most bars and lounges. Otherwise a very pleasant week.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good in main dining room, very good in specialty dining room. Buffet was also good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The atrium was very busy with activities.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We saw one comedy show in the theatre. It seems anything else we wanted to do was already sold out (first day) or not available. We could have waited in line for standby, but didn't really relish the idea of spending our vacation waiting in line. Also, we were a party of 8 and thought it very unlikely we could be seated together.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was great. Leo at the MIXX bar was exceptional.
