Food and Dining

Every drink was poorly made except in margaritaville. Dining room disorganized. Buffet pretty good. Used to Having pizza and ice cream pretty much anytime, but not on this ship. Steak never cooked to temperature. WAY to many ‘pay extra’ restaurants.

Nearly everything is scheduled indoors! Even the movies which are shown in the middle of the day. Amazing hair salon!!

5 out of 5
Took semi sub excursion. Very informative. Say tons of fish and scuba divers. Got a bit seasick and don’t normally. So be aware of that.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
It was a cluster. We signed up for a Miami tour excursion and were to meet in a special area. There were 6 of us. We were sent 3 different places and waited in 4 lines. It was chaos. We finally got headed in the correct area and realized my disabled daughter had got separated from us. We could not get help from anyone. She was sent off the ship without us and we could get no one to help us. It was nearly 2 hours later when we found her sitting on the sidewalk outside the port. Staff was rude and uncaring.

If it was the staff after your cruise in debark, where you get luggage and go through customs, that is usually a different company all together from the cruise line.

Getaway was our first ever cruise ship. Loved it. We're going on the sister ship (Breakaway)next March.
