Review summary

First day at the buffet trying to eat the sliced roast beef. No success, it was tough and leather. Same with the stir fried beef the next day. Went to LeBistro and got their filet mignon and it was excellent as was their lobster. The new York strip in Taste main rest was soggy, like it had been in a steamer for a few hours. The service in Taste was very good but Savor was so rushed we were still eating our app when they served the entre. Best part of the cruise for us was the adults only area on deck 16 aft. Good music and always two loungers available. Cabin service was very good. The interior finish on the Getaway seemed very cheap, a lot of dark formica and plastic. Entertainment was excellent. We saw two shows in the Grammy Experience with Shannon McNally, a blues/jazz singer. For the money we will look to another cruise line.

Compared the the MSC Divina cabin this was very austere.

LeBistro is the best bang for the buck.

MAC Divina was a beautiful ship sailed last Sept but also seems to be catered to an older crowd took my 2yr old son not much in the children area also took my 23yr old daughter she feels wasn't enough to do in her age bracket over all loved the ship it was beautiful..

we have done Carnival Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Princess the food is pretty much the same on all of them, Carnival has more to do on their ships, Princess is a bit more laid back, Royals ships are fancier and Holland has an older crowd. we prefer Carnival and are in our late fifties.
