Review summary

Although there were many things that were great about the cruise, the one parting gift I cannot overlook is the Norovirus I contracted from being on board (google it, it's not fun). I don't know if it was from the ship not being cleaned properly or if it was from an extremely undercooked piece of steak that I ate from the dining hall, but needless to say I am going to have to really reconsider which company I choose for my next cruise vacation. I am very disappointed because I have cruised with Royal Caribbean and celebrity before and both have been great vacations.

So sorry to hear that Andrew. When were you on your cruise? And how long did it take you to get over it? I wonder if you're the only passenger that got sick.

dawnro is right. not sure if you should give up on Royal just based on this one experience. this could happen on any one of the cruise lines.
