GREAT NEWS: Reseachers working on NOROVIRUS vaccine!!

[Rick-cruiser]

For all of us that have been affected in some way with the Norovirus on any of our cruises (or perhaps you've heard stories from other cruise travelers), this is an interesting report - and potentially VERY GOOD news:

Personally, we've been on a several cruises where the Norovirus reared its ugly head.... and to some extent affected the overall enjoyment of our cruise experience on that particular sailing - mainly in terms of how food was served, what food devices we were able to touch, areas of the ship that were off-limits while being scrubbed down, delayed embarkation/disembarkation, and of course the condition of those passengers' health affected by the virus itself.

 

Have you been on a Norovirus-inflicted cruise?. In what ways did it affect what you were/weren't able to do?. To what extent did it affect your overall enjoyment of that particular cruise?
