I could not wait to feel better and write this review! This cruise was selected because supposedly all I had to do was attend a "vacation tour" to purchase time share. First of all I felt horrible because I couldn't even afford a fraction of the time share they were telling me it cost. Then all the "taxes" to pay - the trip actually cost me double than what I previously looked at thinking I'd get a deal here - wrong! Upon going on this cruise all I can say is complete ghetto getaway. This ship was not a ship, it was a renovated cargo boat. The rooms were small dirty and musty smelling. Like sweat or something. Air conditioning didn't work and I was afraid to touch anything or even sleep because things were just run down and dirty. Activities aboard? What activities? If you consider Bingo a 24-7 activity then you will like this. The food was cafeteria style if you like that sort of thing and upon leaving all we heard was how sick everyone was. Some people didn't even leave their cabins. I thought to myself well thank God we didn't get sick, but opened my mouth too soon. I was violently ill the entire day returning home - very bad virus. Went to the doctor and lost so much fluid because of being sick from both ends. This was miserable to live through. Never again will I cruise due to this horrible cruise. This tank should be put to rest. As for all of you reading this and freaking out because you already booked your trip, do not listen to those who say "oh it wasn't bad and don't listen to those negative reviews" - please, listen. This was the most horrible trip I'd been on in my life. The discount parking ticket you get? Oh, there is no discount. This was a very deceiptful way to get someone to take a miserable vacation. Completely Horrible!!!
