Bahrette

I was one of 3 in our sailing party that contacted the wonderful GI illness that was on Jewel of the Seas during the sailing of February 5th. All 3 of us had the same dessert at dinner one night while the other 6 in our party did not. We all fell ill a few hours later. After trying to manage symptoms on our own, we ended up in the medical facility, given care and quarantined to our rooms.

Now, I can't positively say it was norovirus vs food poisoning but considering 2 of the 3 who go sick are emergency room nurses that are exposed to norovirus quite often and wash their hands or use sanitizer more than most...we're betting it was food poisoning. Especially since one member that got sick shared a cabin with 2 others who were completely fine. But hey, just our wild guess. There were a lot of do not disturb signs on doors the last 2 days of the sailing.

18 days until the Bahamas

110 days until the Southern Caribbean

:cool:
