Review summary

For our first cruise we really enjoyed the Fun staff and all of the cruise ship staff.We were warned that this ship was a "party" ship, and were a little apprehensive upon arrival as we were looking forward to the port of calls and a little bit of peace and romance. Thank God peoples views don't always match your own opinion. We were there and those who decided to party did, but with the ship and staff, and the activities. we were able to enjoy the ship and ourselves without even being bothered by the "party: We enjoyed the fact that we could be apart of what we wanted without feeling bombarded by a certain type of group activity. The sad things upon ship were the sea sickness but thank God for housekeeping staff NIA who was concerned, helpful and friendly THE ENTIRE time we were on board. She was truly a sincere person and her presence was great to wake and go to bed to. Thank you for her!!!Those kind of people will help the bad situations not matter on board. She was great!!! We also like to give EXTRA SPECIAL THANK YOU!!! and hope that they are acknowledged along with NIA, to DIning staff Renoir anytime dining third level Diana a thank you for always accommodating our personal privacy request,with a smile and by name by day 2(without looking it up) made us feel like family at dining,soon as we walked in,felt like royalty :) Dining staff Julisia and Nelson and the bus boy that works with them forgot his name.They were absolutely hilarious professional and personable. They were a pleasure to see every night, when we were seated elsewhere for breakfast we missed them!! They were awesome, they even sang happy anniversary to us!!! Fun team staff "Silly Kelly",Adam, JC, Addy, and of course cruise director STEPH...THANK YOU for your energy and smiles..it really kept us in the mood, even when the sea and certain situations arose, your happiness was contagious...THANK you you make it look easy.Oh and Steph, great job in handling the patrons at Q&A who were rude and inappropriate. You remained polite professional and though awkward for us all, answered the best of your ability and i loved that when you didn't know, you said that,but also stated you'd find out and referred them to follow up with you after!!!Great job under pressure, cause girl i couldn't :) thank you for making our first cruise memorable,and though we experienced sea sickness, we WILL cruise again.Hopefully we wont miss a port if God is merciful with the weather :)

I use the patches every time and they are awesome. I get car sick, plane sick, boat sick, etc so I knew. My dr calls them every time and they are relatively discreet. 19 days until cruise number seven!!

Some of the people in our group used the small round patches you put behind your ear lobe. They said it worked great. Glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise and hope for your next one the sea sickness is resolved.

Ok I will try that when I get on board if the sea is bad this time. First time going in the winter. Don't know what to expect.

I'm not sure the name of it...I got it from the liquor store on the ship...it was in a little glass bottle

they, don't but half our table had them on lol. I only needed them one day when the weather was rough. I tried the motioneaze oil and then tried a mix if peppermint and ginger oil neither helped. Everyone is different :)

What is the name of the oil. I would love to use that. Sea bands don't go well with formal attire. Lol

briannamoon    9 years ago

there is an oil that you can get that you put behind your ear and for me that worked better than the sea bands

highly recommend the sea bands, they use acupressure on your wrists. they are drug free and wonderful.
