The Getaway is a beauty with super entertainment venues for some excellent shows. Of particular note were two outstanding comics in Headliners and the Howl at the Moon duelling pianos. The dancers for Raise the Roof were awesome. Do book your shows on the departure day as many are "sold out quickly".

FOOD - Service in the special dining was outstanding. We particularly enjoyed Cagneys and Teppanyaki. Service in Ocean Blue was amazing but the food was quite forgettable and not worth the extra $39 surcharge. Of the complimentary dining rooms our experience was that the Tropicana outshone Savor and Taste even though the food was supposed to be the same. Also the servers in the Tropicana were upbeat and pleasant and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The others not so much. O'Sheehans was also a great place for comfort food and the Garden Cafe was our daily breakfast stop. Before booking specialty dining check the menus for the included dining as the week is available online in your room. We did not do this and missed some excellent entrees.

We found the iconcierge to be very useful. Really enjoyed the week on our floating resort.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Our room was comfortable with a well laid out washroom but a teeny balcony. Quiet and well located. Would benefit from another 6" between the bed and the closet as it was cramped. Ample space to unpack.
