scarletine Posted December 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Just noticed on the Galveston Harbor webcam that the Rhapsody is still in dock this Monday morning. From the meet and mingle board it looked as though there was a cruise this week. Anyone know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerdog Posted December 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 19, 2005 My mom just told me that she heard that a cruise ship was being held in port because of illnesses on board. Maybe they were talking about the Rhapsody. I'll let you know if I hear anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just sailing Posted December 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Terri23, The Splendour of the Seas is scheduled to sail this evening from Galveston and is scheduled to be back in Galveston 12-24. I don't know about the sickness issue but I bet you will be sailing soon. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarletine Posted December 19, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Ah, forgot about the Splendour, and immediately thought it was the Rhapsody. Thanks for the info! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terri23 Posted December 19, 2005 #9 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Richard, thanks for the encouraging words - I was about to go shopping for a hazmat suit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerdog Posted December 19, 2005 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I didn't realize the Splendor was here either! Yeah for Galveston!:) As far as the news report about illness on a cruise ship, as soon as I hear more info, I'll pass it along. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just sailing Posted December 19, 2005 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Terri23, The "hazmat suit" is too funny. Do me a favor and Please write a review when you return. I will be sailing on her for the first time in January. If you want to find out where most of the cruise ships are on any given day go to http://www.cruisecal.com. Have a great cruise.

Cruiser723 Posted December 19, 2005 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2005 This cruise is a 5 nighter. We were on a 5 nighter on the 10th. The ship is not scheduled to leave until 6pm (i think). So all seems normal to me, unless someone knows of another problem. I hope it's not the norovirus, because everything seemed fine last week.

TXSailor Posted December 19, 2005 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Its definitely not the Rhapsody docked there because I saw her leave yesterday on the webcam. Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor moon Posted December 19, 2005 #14 Share Posted December 19, 2005 We were on the Splendour 4 nighter on 12/1. There are hand sanitizers at the entrance of the Windjammer and at the stairs where the dining rooms are. We used them faithfully and never had a problem. You were not allowed in the Windjammer unless you used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grvdggr71 Posted December 20, 2005 #15 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Looks like norovirus. Break out the hand sanitizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonNYTX Posted December 20, 2005 #16 Share Posted December 20, 2005 My sister was on the Splendour repo cruise from Barcelona to Galveston in November. She had a great time but over 100 people came down with norovirus, luckily she did not. She noticed that in the Windjammer, people were getting up and their tables were not wiped down while other passengers took their places. Unfortunately quite a few people were ill but never went to the infirmary for fear of being quarantined to their cabins. Very selfish and put the rest of the passengers at risk, IMHO. Fausto where can I go to view the Galveston webcam? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted December 20, 2005 #17 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi, Bonnie. Jumping in here gives me a chance to say Merry Christmas! You can check out the webcams on http://www.galveston.com. It's kind of fun. The morning of my last cruise, I was able to watch the ships dock before we left for Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
