Great cruise, but got bitten by a spider in our room....miserable last couple of days and had to go right to the doctor when I got off ship.

all good except a nurse names LEONIE.....I got bittern by a spider in my stateroom.....she accused me of going outside (it was pouring rain, all doors were locked, swimming pool was closed, nobody was allowed on decks or balconies) and getting a bite and blaming it on ROYAL CARIBBEAN......

cabin looked great....had a window....love it until a spider came up over the headboard near the window and bit me......caused my arm to swell, get hot, pain and discomfort.....from then I slept on the couch with my clothes on.

Ship tip

WATCH OUT FOR SPIDERS.......and if you get bitten ROYAL CARIBBEAN does not care.....they will blame it on you.

Are you sure you were bitten? Most everyone that has MRSA thinks it was a spider bite.

Oh please, give me a break. You blame RCL for getting a spider bite. How is RCL supposed to assure you that no insect will ever bite you if you cruise with them. Insects are everywhere in the world and you cannot create a 100% insect free ship. Sorry you experienced this but you can't hold Royal responsible. Have you ever been bitten by an insect at home?
