Creator's Key Takeaways
When you first walk in, it's it's very plain. You don't walk into an atrium. You walk in around the stairs over here, and it's just a bunch of brown walls.
For the main pool deck, the seating is very, very limited, smoking zoo. Yeah, there's no there's literally no place to sit unless you're actually in the pool or if you're in one of the hot tubs.
The Getaway is very well upkept. There's plenty of activities to do, especially on a short cruise.
I would recommend booking early because as I was going through and touring some of these, they are are really small. As you can see, there's not a lot of seating.
