Review summary

The cruise was OK. Very rough seas on the way home. One day after arriving home, I became "violently" ill ... no exaggeration with the word "violently." Literally the sickest I've ever been in my life. I'm grateful I was not ill like that on the cruise or on the travel day home. My husband looked up my symptoms - and it appears I may have contracted norovirus on the cruise. Although the cruise was fun, I do not think our family will be cruising in the future.

I was on that cruise and hardly felt a bump! You won't find a smoother ride! Was no virus for us, but we wash our hands often, like the song says😎 we have cruised 22 times, and that was not rough seas.

Had the same problem with my Mother when we went on over Christmas and New year 2010/2011, only it was pneumonia...
