Message: [QUOTE="vtcwbuff, post: 3501015, member: 1197"] We went on our first cruise last summer. It was our 50th anniversary. A week in Alaska on our own was great, then a week long cruise to Vancouver and a planned week in BC. Never again. We got sick on the cruise. Picture being crammed in an elevator with some jerk in the back hacking and whining about how sick he was. Within a couple of days dozens of passengers were sick. It was the sickest I have been in my life. The ship's medical staff were overwhelmed and worthless "take Ibuprophen and wash your hands, sixty dollars please was the best they could do." Of course there was no Ibuprophen available - there wasn't even a cough drop available in the ship's stores. We had hotel reservations and a special 50th anniversary dinner planned in Vancouver but we ended up ordering chicken soup room service. We cancelled the rest of our trip and returned home a week early. [/QUOTE]
