Just got back from our Alaska cruise on Explorer of the Seas on September 7. The ship was nice, and so was our room. Staff personnel were also kind. We were celebrating our 48th Anniversary as well as both of our birthdays. That was noted on the reservation at least two different times, for all the good that did. No one said a thing to us. There were no gluten free desserts and no sugar free desserts at Windjammers even though I spoke to Guest Relations about it twice. One server said the Jello was sugar free. The one I confirmed it with said it was not. Their "gluten free" sweets were two baskets of . . . .apples. Yes, I have pictures. We wanted to have a steak in the main dining room the last night, but that was not an option. The three dinners we ate in the main dining room were good. The one we had to eat there after getting on board the ship was very limited, and they kept running out of food.
On the 6th, I started with congestion and a sore throat. I didn't go to the ship's doctor because we'd heard that you get quarantined. I had to go to Urgent Care on the 8th and my doctor on the 9th. I have acute sinusitis and acute bronchitis. On the 11th, my husband started getting sick. It started out just like my infection. We had to call the ambulance on the 14th because he could not breathe. He has Influenza A and pneumonia. He is still in the hospital and is likely there for another two days because he still needs oxygen.
Talking to representatives from Royal Caribbean yielded that it was our fault for not going to the ship's doctor, and since I got steak once, that was good enough.
