Anyone thinking of canceling IOTS Jan 8 out of FLL?

Thinking of cancelling IOTSeas after this Norovirus scare - anyone else?

We're scheduled for this sailing date also. We have concerns, but nothing that merits canceling our plans. We're both healthy adults, but if there were health concerns that may have been an influence. Otherwise, we just plan to be extra careful and have a great time.

You must be kidding.

Would bite your hands off to be able to go !

Enjoy missing your cruise.

I would not, after all....................................You can get sick anywhere anytime,

Just take extra precautions

Extra immodium

Extra pepto Bismall

Extra underwear

But do what you gotta do................................

Safe travels.

Only five percent of the passengers actually got it, 300 more or less out of 5000

Oh wow. This is amazing.

Stay home, dip yourself in bleach, roll up in bubblewrap.

Those are reported cases. Many, many more won't report it as they will be quarantined in their cabin. Why ruin their vacation?

I just boarded Independence yesterday. We couldn’t board until 2pm and rooms were ready at 430pm. Everything is fine with the ship and canceling a cruise in January shouldn’t even cross your mind. Enjoy your cruise.

I'm not going. Oh wait, I never was...;p

I wouldn’t. It’s rare for outbreaks to last more than one cruise due to deep cleaning during the turnaround day.

Cancel a cruise that is three weeks out because of something that happened last week? Why is there no emoticon for "sitting here shaking my head"?

Well your cruise is three weeks away. There should be no reason for one to be concerned that a ship would still have noro issues that long after an outbreak.

Yes I did, used insurance loop hole and got future credit for my flights. I'm sure more folks will stay away until no further outbreaks.

Me too.

In the UK we would lose all of our money if we cancelled that close to the cruise.

The ship will have a deep clean after a noro outbreak so will be fine.

And how do you know that? Care to share with others what your insurance loop hole is?

We are also booked on this cruise, no we are not going cancel, I always use extra precautions...do not touch handrails extra, so hopefully all will be ok. :)

The outbreak isn't anything new. Look at it this way. You'll be boarding an extremely clean/sanitized ship. Go and enjoy your cruise. Just use the same precautions that your normally would. Or stay home. Your choice.

If I could do it without losing any money, I'd probably consider it if I was booked. Some people just don't have the health to weather something like noro, I don't. But I couldn't see myself taking a financial hit to skip the cruise, I'd probably just overdo it on the precautions and hope for the best.
