Illness on Mercury

[shelbird]

I have many friends on this sailing and am planning on booking for next year. I certainly hope it is quickly contained. Yet another reason for the insurance!

Yes, just look at all the other threads that have already been started.

One thread said the Mercury was making people sick. I very much doubt that. How can the ship make people sick? It should read the either fellow passengers, or maybe even some crew members were making people sick. But a ship making people sick?

Ever hear of mold?

It's possible.. but not probable...

Celebrity ships are usually immaculate!

West coast, East Coast. Poor Mercury. She just cant catch a break can she? She has been so bleached to death its a wonder there is any color left on her interior, period.

That's about the level of "news" coverage one expects these days. Don't bother with the facts or understand the issue. Just do fearmongering reporting.

On the bad virus Mercury cruise we took two years ago the crew were throwing what appeared to be lots of waterline/piping overboard one night. Wonder if it was in thier system.
