Review summary

So I thought things went pretty well until we hit a terrible storm with heavy seas the last night. Everyone got seasick including myself. Terrible banging noises during the night. I got no sleep. Disembarkation was two to three hours late and was very disorganized. Every man for himself as most passengers were missing flights, etc. I have cruised twice. Both experiences were horrendous. I will never cruise again nor would I suggest anyone else do likewise. I think some form of reimbursement might be a good idea. The staff was great.

Well. The ship tip might be better stated as …. Don’t sail in hurricane season!

Not sure why you gave some of the ports low ratings but your only compliant with the ship seems to revolve around the weather - which they have no control over!

Ship tip is ridiculous no one can control the weather
