Thanks for posting your first review here.  I was sorry to read about your bug bites.  I usually carry repellant with me on cruises but luckily I never need any. I also carry hydrocortisone cream with me sine I get hives from the hot tubs.  I think they use bromine to disinfect them. I am so tired out after the evening show that I  just want to retire to my cabin.  But cruise lines should have music for those wanting to stay up late.  After all you are on vacation.
