Sorry to hear this and hope that you recover quickly. Why was it a very sick cruise? Norovirus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlaMarie Posted December 19, 2023 #28 Share Posted December 19, 2023 My parents got theirs on Saturday too, folded through the letterbox! They should have received one last year but didn't, so this is their first also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh1809 Posted December 19, 2023 #29 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I reached Caribbean this year. I received my first-ever calendar with my most recent Moments magazine, but sadly no diary. From what others have reported, it all seems rather random as to what one will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. understood that it was being explained as an air born virus? We were told that the Doctor had caught it at one stage. Coughing every where, selfish stupid people not using hankies coughing there guts out. Never seen as many crew on cleaning duties and also though out the day. Last evening you could see that a lot of the crew were struggling, red watery eyes gave it away. Sorry to report that in our opinion the Menu and Food in the MDR was incredible poor, did not order main course on 5 occasions, also being coaxed or bullied to leave by white shirt, at 10.20 whilst still finishing wine very poor. The glasshouse menu's have also become very boring, maybe due to us over using them. on previous occasions Very stale and rushed Best for us was Medina for lunch, mixing courses. Overall it is the staff that makes it, the product itself, is now very third world in our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know what our dining arrangement will be yet. On the one hand sharing can be fun but on the other hand I have caught colds from guests who decided to share when they were suffering! I suspect that there will be multiple things doing the rounds on our 65 nighter and we are taking a medicine cabinet full of things with this in mind! We went on Britannia, Iona and Ventura with low expectations regarding the MDR and were pleasantly surprised, so we shall go with equally low expectations on Aurora and hope for the best!

Strongly suggest taking Benylin Chesty Coughs, or similar ,forgot to take ours, so purchased Spanish version in port, Used 2 bottles on cruise, along with loads of tablets, yet sitting here, still renching and coughing and going though tissues in boxes. Due to pay final balance of 19 night April cruise on Aurora today, might be happier to drop £300 deposit at this time, will make decision later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
