Review summary

Everything was going good for the first 4 days, until our last day when my son Seth got food poisoning from either the kids meal and inspiration the night before or from the pineapples and cantaloupe left on the Lido deck. I was so disappointed that we were quarantined into our room stating he was potentially contagious after that, so our last day at Sea was spent in our cabin

Everything was going good for the first 4 days, until the last day when me and my son mostly who is two and a half, got food poisoning either from his kids meal which was a hot dog from the inspiration restaurant, or the fruit that was left out on the Lido deck that we had a snack on late at night Thursday night, the following morning which was Friday morning I called guest services to tell them about us how he was having diarrhea and vomiting and obviously was food poisoning and they told us to go to Medical Center. The medical center did not want to hear that it was food poisoning and assumed he had a stomach bug and he was potentially contagious, even though he was fine the first 4 days completely fine. From there they had our entire room sanitized and we could not go back into a room until that was cleaned, and we were told that we were quarantined in our room for 24 hours and could not leave especially my son Seth until the following morning when we disembarked. Even though later that afternoon and evening Seth got his appetite back and my husband and I kept going to the Lido deck to get him more food to replenish him with nutrients. everything was going good for the first for days, until the last day when me and my son mostly, who was two and a half, got food poisoning either from his kids meal which with a hot dog from the inspiration restaurant, or the fruit that was left out on the Lido deck that we had a snack on late at night Thursday night, the following morning which was Friday morning I called guess services to tell them about us how he was having diarrhea and vomiting and obviously was food poisoning and they told us to go to Medical Center.

Even though later that afternoon and evening Seth got his appetite back and my husband and I kept going to the lido deck to get him or food to replenish him with nutrients. Guest services did not care that he had his appetite back and was feeling better holding his food down we still could not leave the room with him which ruin our last day at Sea completely. Room service also sucked Big Time bringing him anything we went up to the Lido deck several times before they brought anything to him.
