When we first arrived, we received a letter stating that many passengers on the previous sailing were afflicted with norovirus. This resulted in a delayed departure because they sanitized the ship before they let us board. Thankfully, the lady that checked us in gave us some great advice and told us to come back around 3:00. Boy, we're glad we did. That terminal was full of grumpy and frustrated people. Rightfully so, but these circumstances were out of our control and RCI was taking extra measures to make sure we stayed healthy. However, I think a small concession (free drink, perhaps) would have been a nice gesture.
Norovirus was still running rampant on our cruise as well, so there were many announcements about "nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea." We could have made a drinking game...take a shot every time you hear "diarrhea." We washed our hands so frequently, I was afraid I was going to come back after the week cruise with germophobia. My husband and I were fortunate not to get sick. We avoided the Windjammer during the outbreak. In my opinion, I think that would be one of the more-likely areas you could pick up norovirus.
I think RCI provided a wide variety of activities on the sea days. I never got bored. We had an absolutely wonderful time, and came home refreshed.
Perfect location mid-ship, quiet, close to elevators, but not TOO close, bed a bit uncomfortable, curtains were replaced during our cruise the week of 12/11/2011, television needs upgrading (but who watches that much TV anyway...just bulky and gets in the way a bit).
