Review summary

My wife & I both got sick on the ship!! My wife after only 2 days & myself after 4 days. My wife still has a bad cough & I was put in the hospital with pneumonia for 4 days after the cruise, and still recovering. The cab drive who took us to the ship said that the ones he picked up before us had all gotten sick on the ship!! The only excursion I did was a snorkel one morning & my wife was unable to do any. We had excursions booked at every port. No one would refund our cost for these either. They said we needed a doctors slip for that, even though I had bought the additional insurance. Very disappointed with the cruise & will NEVER go on one again!!!

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Another smart remark from what appears to be a one cruise wonder.

Try not having such a shitty immune system

When ur around people in any group, large or small, u can pick up a cold or flu. Being on a cruise ship has little to do with it. Better stay away from all cruises then

Original post is possibly a little unfair.

I cancelled excursions more than once for different reason's. Always got money back as long as it was 24 hours notice. Cough on day 2 or 3 -your wife could get cold/flu virus at home or during your flight. And you got it from her (again 2 days later).

I don't know why you would give the ship 1 star. You need to wash your hands extra often on a ship. Not the cruise lines fault.
