Review summary

We were family of 14 with 3 kids ages 2, 4, 6. All, but 3 family members got sick on first 2-3 days on cruise with high fevers, terrible cough, headaches, body aches. Obviously, we were not the only ones sick the ship. Everywhere we went people were coughing and sneezing: dining rooms, pool, spa , show, elevators, etc. Fellow passengers in elevators, dining areas complained about sick family members too. Doctor's office was closed at 8 pm, no real help for our 2 y.o.grandchild with 102.5 fever. Nurse gave us Tylenol and coughing syrup. Nobody called us next day to find out how child is doing. When our over the counter medicine finished (10 people were sick), we found out that store ran out of over the counter Tylenol or something similar !!!!???? We complained to customer service and were told that they have no idea about any virus outbreak on the ship despite over crowded medical facility downstairs. We were very disappointed by indifferent attitude of the RCL medical facility, and absence of even attempt by them of trying to contain the outbreak of most likely flu virus on the ship.
