Review summary

Overall the cruise was lovely, unfortunately there was an outbreak of norovirus on board and this meant that we couldn’t have lemon/olives in our drink etc. A lot of people complained about this. The staff were very open and honest about the outbreak and cleaned even more than usual. I would recommend anyone who goes on a cruise to wash their hands as often as possible and sanitizer their hands on a regular basis.

Entertainment

All of the entertainment was very good. They had to postpone the high diving due to bad weather, so we didn’t see that, but people we spoke to said it was very good.

Very clean and sanitised, lovely clean beaches and good water sports. This is not the place to go if you are looking for authentic Haiti!

We didn’t get off as I was Ill, but We’ve been here before. On that occasion we walked into the local town, the people are friendly and it’s very commercialised.

Other than the poor folks next door, I was completely oblivious to the virus. Sure as hell didn't keep me from having a blast. The crew was fantastic.

We so agree. We experienced a lot of sickness on our two weeks cruise two weeks ago. They even had some people transported by alumblance at the Port after the cruise. They were cleaning alot more. They had people with sanitizer through out the ship. It is a bad year for flu and colds.
