Review summary

Due to this cruise being so bad I am done cruising after 15 cruises. The ship got the Noro virus it was very rapid spreading on board.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
It took 3 hours going up and down lines to go thru processes. It was hot and no places to sit. Worse Port ever will never sail out of this port again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Speciality was fine. Lido dining sitting at table was never asked if we needed anything. Buffets were same foods over and over again.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Not age related activities.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Same entertainment for the last 5 years same shows. Fell asleep during show.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Room stewards only cleaned 1 time a day which use to be twice a day. Had to go to bars and get our own drinks. Use to have Beverage Runners.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Not as clean as in the past.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Windows and balcony windows not clean, hard to see thru all the spots. Bathroom small. TV volume was all over the place had to keep adjusting it.

Ship tip

Don’t I sailed on this ship in November and was great this trip was horrible.

Sorry your experience was not good. I am curious whether you used hand sanitizer and wore a mask. 🤷🏼‍♂️
