Firstly I am sure some passengers did suffer from the virus and are right to feel disappointed especially sister hotels in cancun when they were charged $80+++ to see the doctor. Although it is probably true that the virus was brought on board by a passenger it is highly unlikely that it was brought on board by passengers joining our cruise rather it was on the ship from the previous cruise as many passengers were infected within the first few days. However to put matters into some perspective I guess that over the length of the cruise some 200- 250 passengers were struck down, which equates to 10% of the passengers. In other words 90% did not catch it.
Cruisers sister hotels in cancun were also put into a bad mood by the poor weather experienced for the first two days of the cruise and the appalling embarkation experienced by those joining the ship after 1.30pm. The Mayflower Terminal is just inadequate to cope with 2600 passengers two X-Ray machines sister hotels in cancun is just not good enough. Princess Cruises and other lines using the facility should sister hotels in cancun pressurise Southampton Port Authority to improve matters.
Now to more positive aspects of the cruise We found the food served virtually everywhere was of a high quality, especially the meat and pastries, bearing in mind the size of the ship.The only minor complaint was that on occasions it was served a little on the cold side.
The entertainment was of a very good standard both from the resident entertainers and the guest acts. They were varied sister hotels in cancun and catered to all tastes. We were disappointed with the cruise director- Billy London, who we never saw walking the ship (for that matter the same could be said for the Captain and his senior officers). He tried to be funny when introducing the artists, but failed miserably. At the only one sailaway party we had which was from Gibraltar he sent his deputy to do the honours.
The cabin steward , waiters in the main restaurants and bar staff were all excellent. The staff in the Horizon self service were not as happy probably as they had to serve all food to passengers due to the virus.
As with all cruises the excursions were very expensive so we did our own thing. Some passengers paid about $80 for a coach journey into Rome, whereas taking the free shuttle bus to the dock gates in Civitavecchia and walking sister hotels in cancun 200 yards to the train station they could do the same journey for 8 Euros for the stopping train or 13 Euros for the express. The ticket also covered free travel on buses and Metro.
Be careful sister hotels in cancun of lying on the sunbeds around the open pool. They are of the cushion variety and are not collected sister hotels in cancun in separately at the end of the day. Consequently they will soak up rainwater so next day they appear to be dry but not so after you have sat on them for some time! Go for the single skin upper deck loungers. We understood that the ship is due for a re-furb next year so little things like this will hopefully get resolved.
