We missed Bahamas because of bad weather making it 6 sea days. Canal was uneventful Guatemala was uneventful I would not return. Acapulco was good although I don’t remember the last half of the party bus, to much rum. Mexican Rivera was great as always

Steve the crew handled this issue very well. This happened 2 days at the end of the cruise. They were cleaning all the handrails, walls, doors to the bathrooms were propped open so you didn’t have to open. We had no problem just always wash your hands and I always use my knuckle to press bottoms.

Did the norovirus affect your trip and did the staff handle it well? We will be on the ship in 4 weeks. Should be sqeaky clean by then.
