Wash, sanitize ... Allure 3rd week with Noro!

[edjny]

Still a small percentage.

This is the letter in our room on Saturday night.

 

Same letter we got toward the end of our Allure Feb 1st cruise. Seems like a good idea. They can concentrate on the rooms where someone was sick and give just the usual cleaning to the rest.

Here's an interesting read in favor of certain hand sanitizers:

Also, proper hand washing entails vigorously washing your hands with soap and water for the length of time it takes to sing "happy birthday" twice, which is a lot longer than I've seen anyone wash their hands!:( I only recently realized this and now take the extra time while hand washing!:cool: A "quickie" wash will not kill all of the bacteria on your hands!;)

I prefer wearing a latex body suit with a straw hole for air

Seriously. I've seen people dodge the lady holding hand sanitizer at the entrance to the Windjammer. What, you're too cool to wash your hands?

 

Maybe they just left the restroom and washed their hands in there. Just sayin"

We were also on that Feb 8 cruise. There was no Noro that we were aware of. But one of our family members did have a gastrointestinal event, that required a few visits from the nurse and quarrantined to the stateroom for 24 hours. That was one of 6 family members traveling together and nobody else got it. Treated VERY well and fairly by the medical staff on board.

Possibly, but they could be the same folks that just left the washroom without washing their hands. That's why I will wash as well as sanitize.

Not much good comes from a quickie, it is just be a momentary period of happiness. A good, long, thorough rub and scrub is much more rewarding when it comes to cleaning, ;):D
