Review summary

We ordered breakfast room service for Monday morning and it hadn’t arrived after about an hour I called and they said they didn’t have it and then all of a sudden said they did. It was nothing we ordered Eggs and fruit. We had an excursion time to meet so we ate it anyway. On the way back to the ship after the excursion I felt sick. After being wheeled onto the ship and back to the room I got sick. We had not eaten since room service and had no alcohol, just water. After getting sick twice and couldn’t hold my head up I was wheeled to the infirmary onboard. The doctor said the medicine I take will make me sick if I take it on an empty stomach. I’ve taken a certain medicine for 7 years on an empty stomach and it never made me sick. It’s not a side effect. The next 2 days I spent in bed which were port days and the next sea day I spent between the balcony and bed. My husband felt bad also but in a different way, he didn’t actually throw up. We lived off applesauce bananas water jello and chicken soup broth until Friday. We wanted a baked potato and went to Savor. We ordered the baked potato and no toppings. They brought a hulled out potato skin. The menu didn’t say that. We left and found mashed potatoes on the buffet which were probably from the hulled out potatoes. They were not good. This is our 31st cruise, 9 on NCL and our 2nd on the Escape. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and loved the ship before. I’m truly happy for the cruisers that had good food and loved the cruise. We were unfortunate. Disembarkation was horrible and yes we followed the self assist instructions carefully.

So sorry to hear you were under the weather, nothing worse …being sick on a ship and not enjoying your cruise to the fullest.
