Review summary

Worse cruise ever! No sleep, activities steered toward a geriatrics cruise. Was not impressed with day time and nightly entertainment. Cruise ended with me being positive for Covid which I definitely got on the ship. THE WORSE CRUISE EVER!

I agree with Windy2day on the Covid thing. I actually think it's been brought to the ships from being on airplanes. It's too bad you caught it--from somewhere.

Been on Vision of the Seas before and getting back on in 11 more days for 12 nights. One of the nicest older ships out there with a wonderful crew. Rooms and activities are great. To each their own. My family loves it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The Covid incubation period is 2 - 14 days so maybe you had it before you got onboard. Feel better!

Cabin location is something to look out for when booking, if noise bothers you. Sorry you got Covid but with all those stops you got off at how can you be sure you got it on the ship. Even if you did get it on the ship, that’s not a reflection on the cruiseline, seeing as you can get it literally anywhere.
