Review summary

The cruise experience was outstanding... from the boarding to process to disembarking it was almost flawless.   Food was above average for the most part, especially specialty restaurants... buffet was ok, I thought there may be more choices, but plenty of decent food.  Taste and Savor free restaurants were very good if you wanted to wait and be served.  Food was top notch.  Entertainment was top notch.... "burn the Floor" and "million Dollar Quartet" were phenomenal, goose-bump inducing.   The Wine show was very good as well.   Illusionarium was only weak spot I felt.   Show dragged a bit and food was not great that night for the dinner.  "howl at the Moon" and Comedy shows were very good and fun as well.. Staff was exceptional, unfailingly polite and helpful.   Cruise Director Silas outstanding, you felt as though you knew him personally by end of the week....  will recommend and will do again ourselves as well.   Ports were OK....  Loved Roatan....  Harvest Caye is a little overrated.... small, crowded, and expensive!... should have done something off the island.   Costa Maya and Cozumel were just ok.  Enjoyed being on boat more so than ports.

I just sailed the Getaway and loved that ship, also. Rebooked for next January. I, too, prefer the ship to the ports! Glad you had as wonderful a time, as I did. When I read negative reviews of this ship I have to wonder if they sailed the same ship as I, because this ship was FABULOUS!!!
