Review summary

I did love the cruise. I ended up sea sick for the week and wish the ship had more options to help if you do get sick. I took Dramamine but it did not help much.

I wish there were more snacking options. I did not enjoy the dining room food. We had late night dining which was not a good choice all many on board activity occurred at that time.

I really want to visit this island again. No need for an excision. Take the all day water taxi to the beach and pay for a chair and umbrella and easy to get in the water.

I need to look into this patch everyone keeps talking about. Does it make you drowsy?

You need to take the Dramamine before the ship sails. First cruise I took I was ill the whole week. Been on 15 more cruises and make sure I take before we sail. It works then.
