Review summary

Was on the ship 17 nights. Third day got some sort of cough which turned into bronchitis. About 3/4 of those onboard got it. Kept buying expensive cough med onboard but it kept us going. We were continually told by crew to sanitize our hands before eating. This was way before covid in 2020. Got back to US and went straight to ER. Got some tough pills and about 3 weeks later was ok. The other 5 in my group had a bit of a tougher time getting better but we finally did.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Floor to ceiling windows real nice for trans Atlantic.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The shower pipes were leaking and our carpet was wet and stunk. A couple days into our 17 day crossing crew came to fix the leak and dry the carpet. Great. But being in that odor for a few days was terrible.

Glad you are ok now. Had no idea bronchitis was contagious like that.

Wow that is pretty scary if 3 out of 4 people can catch that respiratory illness within in a few days. Glad you got better.
