Review summary

This trip was completely different for us. On the second night, my wife and I went to see Magic To Do in the theater. A half hour into the show, I felt like my blood pressure dropped and I closed my eyes. Next thing I knew, I had a great group of fellow passengers hovering over me. Appears I lost consciousness and they had to stop the show and call in the medics. It scared the you-know-what out of my wife... Long Story short, they feel it was dehydration. The medical staff was FANTASTIC! Dr. Emsar, Nurses Erika, Monika and James. The Head Of Security, Paul Harris followed us from the theater to the medical facility, stayed for quite awhile comforting Suzi. I was released after passing all tests with flying colors. Paul called the next day just to check in on me. I doubt I would have received this much care on land. Eternally grateful to all my fellow passengers who stepped up and help Suzi and I. We had an opportunity to meet many of them throughout the 15 days. All super people.
