Sirena

35 Night Pacific Coast Paradise (Buenos Aires To San Diego)

Sail date: November 11, 2017

Ship: Sirena

Cabin number: 8028

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 6 years ago

Review summary

The tour office on the ship was unpleasant and Juan was particularly difficult. We were scheduled for 8 tours and only went on 4 one of which we paid extra. We lost money on cancelled tours and were under this ship's doctor to miss two others. The ship was under quarantine because of influenza and respiratory sickness. I recommended to the doctor that masks be provided to all passengers. Nothing happened!

Food was tasteless. Soups were the consistency of dish water and bland without flavor. Service in the dining room was so slow it took two hours for a meal.

Masks are only good for several minutes so would have been of no use to stop germ spreading. Hand washing and using paper hankies once and proper disposal would have been a better deterrent.
