Review summary
didn't really have one - weather was bad all the way to Ha. and sea was rough
got to Ha. and my husband got noro-virus??(don't know how to spell it ) and he was quarantined to our room - he had vomiting and diarrhea as did half the ship. He missed two of the islands. We got a cold and still have it - half the ship had it too. Went zip lining on the second island in the rain and their equipment failed to film us (we were counting on it as we could not use our phones due to the rain) so we have nothing to show our family??? That was it - the very last island was a nice shopping area: however had nothing else to offer. We had such bad colds and were coughing so it was difficult for us to walk the entire shopping area. It was sunny but very windy.

Ship tip
This time of year do not sail to Ha. as the weather is terrible and the sea is rough most of the time. The staff tried to make the best of a bad trip - but I would not go on this trip again even if it was free. He wanted to sail as he is a very bad flyer; however, he now says that he will fly.
Ports of call

You rate this cruise as one star primarily because you & half the ship had norovirus? Another review for the same ship on the same date (http://cruiseline.com/ship/star-princess/review/433882) made absolutely no mention of norovirus on the ship! You went zip lining in the rain then complain about you having bad colds? The cruise line has no control over the weather or the sea conditions. It is a cruise on the ocean so these things need to be expected. Sounds like land based vacations may suite you better.
