The ship had nice amenities and the thermalsuite in the spa was very nice. However the food on the ship was subpar, including the specialty dining. This was quite disappointing.

I never had a bad meal on the Getaway. I have no idea what you mean by‚ subpar. Compared to what?‚ It seems that no matter what cruiseline or ship, somebody is unhappy with the food in some way. I still laugh about a complaint from somebody on here‚ about how the desserts on a Royal Caribbean cruise were unimaginative. Seriously. They said that. What the heck does that even mean? It must be tough to go through life always finding something small to nitpick and complain about. You just spent 7 amazing days on board an amazing ship, with room service and 24/7 entertainment, visiting amazing ports and you complain about DESSERT. Wow.  What is an imaginative dessert anyway? My advice: buy a yacht and hire your own personal chef to prepare your meals exactly the way you want. If they fail, you can always throw them overboard.
