Review summary

I feel princess failed by not keeping the ship sanitized. Many sick people I am guessing all with Covid as we were very sick the last day and upon returning home the same day we left the ship we tested positive for Covid. There was no effort to clean common touch surfaces and hand washing was not enforced at the buffet. My dream vacation turned into a nightmare and now I am still very sick. I expected a safer environment on the ship.
