CaroleSS Posted February 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 JB :) Edited February 4, 2014 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Call the media and see if they care. Nope, they won't. If it isn't on a cruise ship, no one cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldsc Posted February 4, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have Noro and I've not beenNear a cruise ship in 2 years - there is no justice in the world.... 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.

Suzieanna Posted February 4, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted February 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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?

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have Noro and I've not beenNear a cruise ship in 2 years - there is no justice in the world.... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted February 4, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 4, 2014 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.

The nerve of them to bring the Noro off the ship :p Edited February 5, 2014 by lady_cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
