Over 200 Caribbean cruise ship passengers take ill
I am amazed that Steinbrenner, the noted cruise basher, failed to report
this. MIAMI, March 4 (Reuters) - More than 200 passengers on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship and several crew members took ill with a stomach virus during a weeklong cruise, the Miami-based company said on Saturday. http://tinyurl.com/s36pa -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ |

The CDC has been notified and is investigating. Their numbers are
lower, but are also a few days old as of this report date. http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/out...roftheseas.htm Steve in FLL |

Over 200 Caribbean cruise ship passengers take ill
Just for fun, go to Google News http://news.google.com/nwshp?ned=us and type "norovirus" in the search box. Seems like there are outbreaks in Burlington County, NJ..... Brisbane, Australia..... Minnessota.... Chicago..... In a place close to Philadelphia, 1400 students and 21 teachers were absent from school the last week of February http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/13978956.htm Then there are the 300 elementary school kids in South Carolina who got sick this week. http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/mld...l/14022712.htm Of course, the difference is that when this happens on a cruise ship it has to be reported to the CDC. 1400 kids get sick at school in PA and 300 get sick at school in SC..... no big deal, local news at best. 200 people get sick on a cruise ship.... national news. vbg -- George Leppla http://www.countryside-travel.com Cruise Specials BLOG http://www.countryside-travel.com/3834677_6105.htm October 29, 2006 - SLEAZY 4! http://cruisemaster.com/sleazy4.htm February 10, 2007 - Valentine's Group - http://cruisemaster.com/grandeur.htm |

Oh so true, George.
I pointed out the CDC/VSP link only to show that the outbreak was not being "hidden" by Royal Caribbean. Yes. Norovirus is everywhere. It is unfortunate that it only makes headlines on the world level when associated with cruise ships. Steve------not about to stop cruising --- just staying away from school :-) |

The cruise lines always say a passenger brought the virus on board,but i
am sure it was something on the ship,we have found dirty underwear beneath our bed,and in the drawers of the night table. Also it is not just on ships,washington township,in new jersey just had an outbreak and over 1/2 of the school was absent. (.a cruise lover.) |

Over 200 Caribbean cruise ship passengers take ill
The cruise lines are usually right, Annie, and no cruise ship created the
problem in Washington Twp. You and Bill Schallers have been "fortunate" to find "stuff" under the bed and in the drawers of the night table. We have been on almost 20 cruises and never experienced that. Maybe that is not one of the perks you get when you book a better cabin. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "Surfer E2468" wrote in message ...

Over 200 Caribbean cruise ship passengers take ill
It wasn't the dirty under pants & sox under bed on Rotterdam , but the
fact that i found them while packing to go home on the last night of a 10 day cruise! I guess our cabin steward didn't clean very well ! Couldn't resist one more post. BILL |
