Watch Joel's morning show on the TV and read the daily bulletin so you won't miss anything. Make your reservations for the shows, Legally Blonde, Burn the Floor, or Illusarium. If you eat at Moderno, bring your appetite and go a little easy on the abundant creative salad bar so yo
Book entertainment befor you leave home. Pay restaurants are NOT worth the upcharges. I have been on other ships in the past that were worth the upcharges, not here!
Recommend breakfast at the Flamingo Grill, it is a nice quiet area, small buffet with nice choices.
The pool area gets extremely busy, hard to find chairs together, so if you want a nice relaxing area, buy into Vibe, I did not and regretted it.
Adults use that water feature in the Spice lounge area during the day! My husband and I went up there and everyone was laying out but no-one was in the water feature. We loved it!
On embarkation day, you do not need to dress up for the specialty restaurants. We went to Cagney's that night, and loved it so much, we went again a few days later. If you can, book one of The Haven suites. Well worth the extra cost -- many, many amenities, starting with priority boarding...
the Taste and the Savor restaurants stop serving breakfast at 9:30 watch for onboard specials . take your tea or coffee to your table to finish preparing it as it holds up the coffee line
Avoid the st john beach/snorkel break. You spend lots of time on lines and on the boat waiting for other cruisers from other boats. The time on the actual beach itself is amazing but way too short 60 mins. for a whole day event. Book your trips early as well as reservations at specialty restauran
My tip on every cruise is to stay away from the buffet whenever you can. They are always crowded and the food is marginal. Go to the main dining rooms for breakfast and lunch, not near as crowded and much better food. The Ice Bar was OK, but probably not worth the cost. We had a very pleasant evening sitting outside the mojito bar. Have fun! I highly recommend the Getaway!
This ship is only 2 months old. It was lovely, clean and had a very good stabilizer system. You hardly knew you were on a ship. I actually purchased a coupon to travel again on this cruise line within the next 4 years. I'm going to travel again this year. I really loved everything about this ship.
Make sure you read the daily schedule. The first couple days onboard we did not read them and saw we missed a few activities that we wanted to do. We made sure we read them every day after that to know what was going on.
for a great snack,go to sharkey, they will serve you at the bar or restaurnat area, also for take out if you wish to have a snack in your room. the food choice is excellent, for for a few hours of the 24 hours they are open you can get lobster tails or a prime rib dinner. great food
You have options for eating. There is a Cafe which is very large and the serve food all day long. It is where most people with children ate but we ate there often as well. There are several other restaurants for a sit down breakfast, lunch or dinner and there are specialty restaurants.
