Getaway Waterfront & Dining Questions

[bcaha]

We are not big foodies and don't plan to eat in the specialty restaurants.

Are there any places in the Waterfront outdoor dining area that are included in the standard cruise? (restaurants and/or bars)

 

Also, we are 5 people traveling during a holiday (crowded) week. Will we need reservations for dinner in the MDR? Prefer not to be locked in to a schedule.

Thanks so much!!!

There are a couple of bars on the waterfront. All the food places are specialities though

Sunset Bar is a large indoor bar and has a bar outside on the walk. Hope this helps.

I think most sailings are near full capacity now a days anyway, so it really shouldn't feel too much more crowded than most other times, but it will depend on what time you like to eat. Earlier in the evening, maybe between 5-6pm you should be fine, but later, 7-8pm will likely require a reservation to avoid waiting.

Thank you, I guess worst case scenario is we have to wait for a while.

The Grammy Experience, Sunset Bar, and Sugarcane Mojito Bar all have seating outside on the Waterfront.

Not sure what you want on the Waterfront, but there are plenty of places to hangout and relax without the need to dine or drink.

 

I disembarked from the Gataway today and took several moments and naps out there. In fact I strolled the Waterfront during sail away. I was there in the heat of the day at at 1am, always a pleasure.

MDR dining wait is seldom very long even during busy times. The Getaway has three MDRs as I recall.

Here are a huge bunch of unedited pics I took of the Getaway about a year ago. They include quite a few of the Waterfront.

Is there anywhere to sit and enjoy breakfast outside other than your balcony

Correct plus Shanghai's Noodle bar and OSheehan's.

FG is wonderful. Plus if the food there doesn't appeal to you, you can easily take your tray from the Lido buffet up the stairs and eat in the FG area. But we loved the FG food ... sometimes snagged a bit of both.
