I am wondering if the ship’s doctor diagnosed the food poisoning- because that might have affected other people - As far as your other complaints they were not the ship’s fault. Hope you try again. Buy the bracelets for motion sickness!

Sorry, but no having a passport isn't the cruise lines fault neither is motion sickness it's a ship sailing on water!! Go figure. You could have picked your room when you booked your cruise. Don't blame the cruise line for your poor decisions. Take the learning curve and try again perhaps a different cruise line

It appears this is your first cruise. Always do research before traveling!!! All international flights require passports. If you possibly suffer from something, take meds with you for just in case.
