Review summary

First cruise on Mexican Riviera. The thing that bothered me most was crew’s refusal to share any Covid information (current numbers or even IF there were any cases). Literally told that they would share NO INFORMATION. No reason, explanation, etc. crew member was curt and dismissive bordering on being rude. The food was excellent, but they do charge now for certain items of food on “free” menu. Only main stage entertainment was dancers and a showing of Holland and BBC movie Planet Earth 2. Dancer show was good and included some neat special effects, but I would have preferred some variety. Music in bars was great. Service was also very good.

If your so worried about COVID stay home. Omicron is not even a bad cold. Most peeps don’t know they had it. Enjoy your life before your too old too

Giving just numbers doesn't help. What difference does it make knowing the number of positive tests. Tests results, not cases. And certainly not false positive test results. And who are the people who tested positive. The Crew we see? The crew we don't see? Passengers? Better the cruise lines don't share such info.

I don’t think giving numbers or general info would violate HIPAA
