Review summary

The Getaway is an ok ship.  The decor is unexciting (lots of brown).  Except for Le Bistro, the food is boring even at the specialty restaurants.  Le Bistro had good food and service.  

The staff seemed bored.  The itinerary (Honduras, Belize, Mexico) should have been interesting but you spend so little time in port you don't get a feel for the countries.  I'm not sure why you have to sail so early the the next port is so close.  Harvest Caye is a Disneyland version of Belize.

The Million Dollar Quartet show was one of the best I've seen on a cruise.

The embarkation was 1 1/2 hours standing in a hot, stinky line.  The cruise terminal disembarkation process was confusing.  The rental car shuttle was so impossible we gave up.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was spacious but the decor was dull. Bathroom was big enough. Lots of storage. The balcony was small but adequate and fairly private.

Ship tip

Celebrity is a much, MUCH better experience.

Rjgard65 and KingKenny--agree with you both! I've cruised several ships, and feel the Getaway was the best!!

I have been on Cunard, Carnival,P&O and thought The Getaway was by far the best ship and best entertainment we have come across

I went on the Getaway and it is by far the best ship that I have ever been on yet. I'm not new to cruising I've been on 22 cruises and 6 different lines. You should have stayed home.

I walked out on million dollar quartet. I hate mega ships, I got a one- two punch from getaway and epic. I don't care nor did I even notice the decor. I hope your next cruise goes better.thanks for sharing
