Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dinning room food and staff were great. The buffet on the Lido deck was great. Breakfast on sea day well thats a different story. I got sick 2-3 hours after brunch. It came on very quickly and lasted for 2 days. As I was disembarking I did not eat because I could not not hold food down. I am not sure if it was a 48hr bug or food poison. It came on very quickly and lasted for 48 hrs and slowly dissipated. Leaving me feeling week. This is the first time I have ever Experienced anything like this on a cruise ship. This was not a bought of the sea sickness. This I do know.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was clean the layout was the same a few of the other ships. On one of our sea days we go back to our room about 130-2pm and there was several fans in the hallway. Once we entered our room we new why immediately. The smell of Apoxsee paint was over powering inside of our room they were not paining it’s out of our room they were up however painting outside in the smell was in all the rooms on our floor
