Review summary

Because of getting sick out was hard to really enjoy myself. Honestly the ship was beautiful but the food sucked. There are also not enough late night varieties to eat like on my previous cruises.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Was on the cruise where all the people got sick including myself and medical could have handled things a whole lot better. To add insult to injury they added charges for the medical treatment to my bill after pretty much admitting fault and exclaiming they would treat everyone complimentary. I just feel like they whole matter should have been handled better. They also told my traveling companions to just stay in their rooms to be quarantined. They never offered anything to make up for the terrible experience. After everyone got sick then they started cleaning the ship and making announcements that they had to make sure the food area was safe so they would open up a little late. They also reported to the news different numbers so they are being deceptive.

The service was pretty good but the experience of getting sick just put a bad taste in my mouth. The food could have been a whole lot better.

Service and Staff

My waiter was Godofredo in the Macbeth dining room and he was great even remembered our names each night and referred to us by our names.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Obviously the ship and food was not sanitary due tho all the illness on-board the ship. Design was beautiful appeared clean but over 500 people don't just get sick with the same illness coincidentally.

My maid service was excellent he kept my room clean and stocked with ice after only asking him one time....5 stars for him.

Ship tip

Pray that they get it clean and retrain the staff on cleanliness.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Port was beautiful despite the rain.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
The food was terrible with flies all over it, this could be where I got sick at. They need to come up with a better system. I would have preferred a bag lunch to lunch with a side of Haitian flies.

Falmouth, Jamaica

Port was beautiful despite the rain. Would have liked to be there longer but the rain slowed everything down.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Good except the staff are a little pushy and don't know how to talk to people. Not enough high quality staff but I guess you get what you pay for and I hear they are not paid very well.
