The weather was quite windy but not much swell on several of the sailing days however the ship rolled & pitched making many people seasick ( there were sick bags available in the lift lobbies ) I was suprised at the motion of the ship & made enquiries of a couple of the ships officers. One replied - "we don't know why the ship is behaving like this in these conditions", the other -" the Engineers are looking into the matter" One could ask the question " were the stabilisers working properly?

Comment by Parrish, Taunton (31 Jan 12 09:12) about this REVIEW
We are just back from a 14 night back to back Caribbean cruise( 8 to 22/1/12 ) on this ship. No problem experienced although it was windy at times, up to force 5 with 2m high waves. Ship good, food excellent,staff very obliging, entertainment average compared with other cruise lines we have used. Quizzes geared to the Americans, in the end we stopped going as we didn't have too much knowledge on old US TV programs. One downside was issues with customer services on board.Whilst being generally helpful on a day to day basis if you have a complaint be prepared for the corporate brush off.This element was disappointing on an otherwise enjoyable cruise.

What was your experience when you had to re-board the ship for the second half of your cruise. Can you tell me anything about that. thanks

You say very little in your review apart from being sick. Was the food poor or did you not enjoy it because you were sick? Was the entertainment very poor or was it because you were sick? Did you not rate the excusrions, staff or on board activities because you were sick?
