You must have touched something that touched something that went on a cruise ship and someone else touched it after someone else sprayed it down with Lysol and Purel, but went to the buffet anyway.

 

No other explanation!

These things just don't happen outside cruise ships ya know!!

Yes, Blitznbob's post was a touch of dry Brit humour ;)

Kinda like getting deep-vein thrombosis without going on an aeroplane.

Or being sick on the sidewalk caused by a kebab - eaten after twelve pints of strong lager. :D

Call the media and see if they care. Nope, they won't. If it isn't on a cruise ship, no one cares.

Nobody said that life is fair.

You need to find someone (anyone at all - a lawyer will find someone with deep pockets) to sue for giving you Noro. After all, someone has to pay for your inconvenience.

Well, that really is rotten luck.

 

Hope you fell better soon.

 

Try not to spread it around. :eek:

I'd find out if Kevin Bacon has cruised recently and carefully check the degrees of separation!

Love this!

 

There is a strange phenomena (sp) called Schadenfreude (or some such thing).... pleasure in other's misfortune. People seem to take delight in the fact that others have spent shed loads of money and then got sick!! kind of a "let's all laugh at those "rich" people, who think they are so great having their wonderful vacation!"....

 

Jealousy turns people a similar shade of green to D&V I believe???

Don't worry I've been confined to cabin and hubby has painted a black x on the door and bolted it shut... He pushes a pint glass of water thru a hatch every 4 hours...

Boy, I had thought I had a major case of food poisoning about a month ago, which I'd trace to a hot dog I had at the Rose Bowl on January 1. And it was exactly a year since I got off the Golden Princess, so it must have been noro instead that was incubating that whole time, right?

Here in PA, USA -- we are experiencing a major outbreak of Flu and Noro. All you have to do is touch something that had been handled by a sick person.

Noro is not limited to ships. We have had schools be closed because of it. It has been in nursing homes, hospitals, etc.

[JustCruiseMe]

I had noro and hadn't been on a cruise either. Ended up having to get IV fluids. I couldn't go to the hosp during the worst of my symptoms I mean how do you get in the car with D&V? lol..tmi sorry...I think I'll sue the automakers bc my car doesn't have D&V protectant on the seats.

Fair isn't in the equation.

My thoughts exactly.

Mommy, Mommy.....little Johnny has Noro and I don't!!

 

This isn't fair....he has something *I* don't!

 

I'm gonna hold my breath until you get me Noro too!

[iheartbda]

Does anyone else get the feeling that some people never read anything but the first post and then reply?

[RickT]

Enjoy it while you have it... and just think, you didn't need to spend thousands of £'s to get it. :p

Obviously, you must have been in contact with someone who recently returned from a cruise. ;)

There is no justice.

There is just us.

Dh and I were just talking about all these people that came off these 2 cruiseships. I was wondering if they would be starting an epidemic.

OMG I bet that person you passed on the street and sneezed when they got near you just got off a cruise ship. The nerve of them to bring the Noro off the ship :p

There is one other possibility. A member of Cruise Critic that's recently been on a cruise and contracted noro has been on here posting, and now it's spreading through the internet.:eek: Once you're computer is infected, you're screwed.
