Just returned this past Saturday from the Getaway. We booked at 7:30pm the night prior to the cruise. We arrived rather late at 2:00, but our embarkation was a breeze. There is only one parking structure..so it was a little hike to our terminal, but DH reminded me that it was good to start walking off some calories!

We had a balcony cabin, tried to get a suite, but it was at that late of time, in guarantee mode, and we would much rather be closer to an elevator than get a suite! Our cabin was nice, typical standard size with a nice sized shower. I immediately noticed that our cabin was not as clean as it should have been. There remained a lot of fingerprints and handprints on our closet doors, and on the inside of our glass balcony railing. The curtains had gross dirty spots in them and the carpet had stains!! Obviously our room had not been wipes down properly...and I am not a not a nut job about stuff, but I do like to start out with a room that has been sanitized between guests! We were in cabin 9778.

If we ever went on this ship again we would definitely pick a port side, aft cabin! The fireworks could be seen from the port side only, and we did try to go to Spice H2O to see them, but let me tell you, 4000 cannot fit! Also the White Party was impossible! This ship does not have any large open areas to accommodate passengers in mass. Deck 15 is composed of pools, adult area (spice h2O) slides and ropes course! We went to a nice carving demo, and it was ridiculous where they had it. It was wedged between a pool and a little stage. The demo was great, but the place where they had it was crazy!!

Very good cruise, nice ship!
