FWIW, I’m now curious about how the noro was treated on board the ship. What was prescribed, administered. Also wondering if a ship can handle rehydration therapy for large numbers of patients if necessary. How issues like sanitation and infection control are handled. This subject would make for a very interesting, in-depth article.
And in the meantime, I’ll continue my avoidance of these floating bug farms.
I wouldn’t avoid cruises because of norovirus, but I would teach family to wash their hands a lot on them with soap
Please stay away from those floating bug forms. It will keep prices under control for my cruises, 26 and counting, and never been sick on a cruise ship. Actually I ALWAYS come back stronger and healthier because on these large ships, one has opportunity to walk several miles each day. During my cruise last week on Oasis of the Seas, it was 1/2 mile walk round trip from our cabin to our assigned dining room. Now multiply that with minimum 4 meals daily.
