  1. We were on the Getaway in February, sailing on her again next month.

    We used the self disembark option just walked off the ship early in the morning, had to wait about five minutes for a elevator.

     

    Advice, take a cab, don't elect the van sharing ride, we did and we were squeezed into the very back of a 10 passenger van, had to climb over everybody to get a seat. Our luggage was thrown in a trailer on the back of the van, and I had to keep getting off and making sure that someone wasn't walking off with our luggage as they were dropped off at their gates.

     

    Our favorite free dining room was the Tropicana, live Latin music, dancing, including free dance lessons by the Burn the Floor Cast and some fun parades with the staff

     

    The box office is open on the ship and you can always pickup or exchange tickets, always plenty of seats available

  2. Just got off the Getaway..sister ship to the Breakaway

    We did encounter 20 ft waves and you could feel the ship swaying a bit

    Start taking your Bonine before you set sail

    The first night at dinner a couple came in and they had just applied their patches..it was too late..it takes at least 4 hours for the medicine to be effective...they were having a very rough time and they couldn't stay and order dinner...they retreat to their room...my advice was to have some ginger ale and get up outside and let the fresh air hit your face

  3. once you realize you can't slip out of the harness and the cable can't slip out of the track...you become very relaxed...the course is very intricate..you can go in multiple directions arriving at a junction where you can go elsewhere...the pathways are interesting sometime's a narrow beam, or a strand of rope or some crazy steps...really is fun

  4. Want a thrill?

    Put on a harness and do the ropes course, after your safely strapped in, you walk to the stairs and you have a cable that's inserted into a slot and off you go.

    When you reach the top of the stairs you can maneuver in several different directions walking on a narrow beam, a single strand of rope and other incredible challenges.

    You can make your way over to the plank which is about 6 inches wide and extends about 6 feet over the side of the ship.

    I walked out to the end and you pull a lanyard and it snaps your photo.

    This up over 16 deck, so your about 160' above the waterline, the wind is howling and the ship is making about 20 knots.

    Do it!!!..you only live once
