Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food was just ok. Nothing exciting. Tasted blah

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Lacked stimulating activities (such as seminars or classes). Enjoyed hottub.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Waiting in line to get into venues was disappointment. They should have been scheduled at larger venues. 2 stage shows where "good" - not spectacular. Comedy was ok.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Waiters VERY slow. No service at buffet. Room Steward ignored my "make up room now" signal and missed doing our room all but once

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was very clean. I would have liked some more lounge chairs outside around deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Certainly smallest cabin I have ever stayed it. Stewart seemed to "miss" cleaning times.

Ship tip

If you are smoker - do NOT go on the Getaway. For two complete days they were "fueling" the ship and closed all the smoking areas.

My understanding is that smoking ruins the taste buds.
