Review summary
I believe this ship is not clean. I was not sick when I boarded the ship, but by day 4 I was very sick. So were so many of us. Four years ago on this same ship I saw employees cleaning everywhere - hand rails, elevator buttons, elevator doors, and I saw purell dispensers everywhere too. Not this time. It did not seem as clean; the attention to detail in the service was different. 3 of our party saw the onboard doctor. i had brought antibiotics with me, but am still sick. two of our party are going to the doctor tomorrow. I went today. There is something wrong. Many people complained of being sick. People coughed and hacked constantly in the elevators and in the buffet dining room. Not good.

We sailed May 26 - June 2, 2017 on the Alaska Inner Passage cruise on the Solstice. The ship was SPOTLESS in all areas. Everyone remarked on how CLEAN the ship remained for the entire cruise. Plates were removed immediately after people finished eating, public restrooms remained spotless 24 hours a day. I had brought a package of Clorox wipes and never opened it! Employees were constantly seen polishing and cleaning. You were required to use the Purell hand sanitizing station before entering a restaurant also. I am sorry for your experience, but ours was wonderful.
