The Florida Aquarium is great. Being January, you'll probably have great weather in Tampa too. (I live here.)

Other options downtown(ish):

*Tampa Bay History Museum is relatively new, is riverside and has a great Columbia Cafe attached to it.

*lunch at the original Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City (can get to via trolley)

*Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus will be finishing up a run that week at Amalie Area

*Tampa Riverwalk area which borders the river, parks and museums (Glazer Childrens, Tampa Museum of Art, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park)

Good luck!

Ship – Getaway

Deck – 14 forward

Stateroom # – 14140

Stateroom Category – Haven Spa Suite (H9)

Starboard or Port Side – Port

Quiet Stateroom? Yes.

Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? No.

Balcony View No obstructions, thought when you look directly down, you see a deck/walkway and not the water.

Balcony Size? Normal for ship apparently, though small. Two chairs that faced each other and a small side table. I couldn't turn the chair and sit comfortably facing the water.

Was wind a problem? No.

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? N/A

Any specific problems with this cabin? This has the support pole in the cabin by the spa tub. Not a big deal, unless you wanted to really use the spa tub. It did distract your eye when you were looking at the cabin.

Any other comments? TONS of storage, cabin furnishings starting to show a little wear and had some water damage to the floors and they were buckling by the balcony door. Have to walk up a deck to get to spa, but easy walk. Very comfortable bed, though only 1 power outlet bedside and one power outlet by tv. Narrow, but long, shower stall. Trough sink with double faucets.

We are on the Getaway in less than 2 weeks in a Haven Spa Suite on deck 14.

Looking at the deck plans, is there a way to access the thermal suite & spa from deck 14? Or do we have to go up to deck 15 to use the spa entrance?

Not a huge deal, the stairs are right there, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks!
