Review summary

I love cruises.... but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had! Everyone on the ship was suffering from motion sickness for days! I at least saw 3 people throw up right in front of me!!! The boat was rocky ALL NIGHT AND DAY! Most people didnt show up to dinner or entertainment because they were so sick! If you decide to go on this ship make sure you’re stocked up on Dramamine!!! My husband and I spent 4 or the 5 nights in the cruise SICK TO OUR STOMACHS!!

Yes very clean but do not get this room! Since it is at the front of the ship it will rock a lot!

Ship tip

I don’t know if it was the captain or the ship itself but after 5+ cruises I’ve been on this was the worst experience I’ve ever had! Everyone on the ship was suffering from motion sickness and I at least saw 3 people throw up right in front of me!!! The boat was rocky ALL NIGHT AND DAY! Most people isn’t show up to dinner or entertainment because they were so sick! If you decide to go on this ship make sure you’re stocked up on Dramamine!!!

Yeah the rocking must have been caused by the Captain. I'm sure he was just playing a joke on everyone. You know how those captains are.

get a cabin in the middle of the ship, and with at least a window. The best time to cruise is not during peak hurricane season. Ginger capsules help immensely with the motion sickness

I sailed through a force 10 gale in the Bay of Biscay took dramamine as a precaution but no issue with sea sickness. Discription of force 10 gale per google: Very high waves with long overhanging crests. The resulting foam in great patches is blown in dense white streaks along the direction of the wind. On the whole the surface of the sea takes a white appearance. Visibility affected. Waves 29-41 ft.

The storms were the issue, not the ship. Any shape will move if the ocean is rough enough. It’s always a good idea to have at least a couple of options for motion sickness.

It’s hurricane season, which comes with rough seas.

We were on it in Febr and loved it, it was like all our cruises- alot of motion but we didn't get sick or see others sick.
