Noro - Disembarking

[Bailey & Sophie]

Just a curious question. What happens if the Noro virus is spread throughout a cruise and a passenger is just too sick to disembark?

I would imagine if someone were that sick, they'd call an ambulance to take them away.

It would have to be miserable. :( That's another reason why one should purchase trip insurance. Once off the ship, you would need to go stay at a hotel before driving or boarding an airplane back home. I am sure many do get on their original flights, though. That's probably how most of this stuff spreads.:rolleyes: If you think being on a ship is being couped up, a plane is even more so and a good way to spread germs.

Can you imagine what it would be like to be on a long flight with Noro????That would definitely be a nightmare....

It was reported that after the big outbreak last week on the RCI ship, passengers who were identified as being too ill were taken to a hotel or clinic.

Can you imagine being the poor passenger on the plane with the poor person with the Noro....way to spread it to a couple hundred more people

[Bailey & Sophie]

Wow...I can't imagine getting on an airplane with Noro symptoms. I'd be tempted to say, "Just book me on the next cruise...I'm not moving from this bed!"

I have had norovirus on a plane and it was horrible. My husband and I had a late flight and arrived at the airport early. I began feeling bad, but did not know I had the norovirus until later. I was on the plane when I really got sick. It was a flight out of Denver and we hit turbulence. The stewardesses were sitting on the floor of the plane when I came out of the bathroom and they told me to sit on the floor. I was so sick I just lay on the floor. LOL I will never forget that flight.
