AnthonyD Posted March 21, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm getting a little tired of everybody whining about how they don't want to get norovirus on a cruise that's coming up in 9 months and 2 days from now. Well I'm cruising in less than 2 months and want to get the most out of it, INCLUDING the Norovirus. Any advice on catching it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

suzeyQ Posted March 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Lick the railings and the bathroom doorhandles. Or lick the top of the hand sanitizer stations... I bet you'd be a shoo-in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted March 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2006 How about you lick the elevator buttons. Better yet skip that step and lick everyone's hands you see! HEHE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted March 21, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2006 After you do all the above be sure to claim you need a free cruise for getting sick :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgosomewhere Posted March 21, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2006 It happened to me and my DH on our cruise on Princess to Alaska. Al never got thru the first course of dinner on formal night. I ate alone. he was sick as a dog all evening. I got it in the morning and slept until noon. Very queezy, never actually threw up though. Thankfully it was all over by dinner the next night. Not fun! AND we didn't lick any railings or doorknobs.....as I recall............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schplinky Posted March 21, 2006 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Follow the non-hand washers fom the loo to the buffet and try to handle as much food as they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordic30 Posted March 21, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Go to the casino, play all the slot machines - see how many coins or chips you can handle - then get a piece of pizza. Should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBB Posted March 21, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Eat at the Windjammer, only from people's plates that they've left on the table when they're finished. If you're really hungry, take the room service trays from the hallway that haven't been picked up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumm Posted March 21, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 21, 2006 If you're really hungry, take the room service trays from the hallway that haven't been picked up yet. Is THAT what they are??? I thought each hallway had it's own buffet and I've been complaining about the poor presentation. Is there somewhere else to eat on board?

Clarkk W Griswald Posted March 21, 2006 #19 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Drink from all the public toilets. And if you are lucky enough to actually catch the norovirus, you might even lose 5-10 pounds, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted March 21, 2006 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2006 RCI has over looked that this could actually be used as a marketing ploy... "you will gain weight on the other guys ship...on ours you'll lose 5-10 lbs...and you'll get a free cruise" :p :p :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo Posted March 21, 2006 #21 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Drink from all the public toilets. And if you are lucky enough to actually catch the norovirus, you might even lose 5-10 pounds, too! AND we will finally have an answer as to whether the water in the toilets is fresh or salt water!!!!:rolleyes: Hypo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to an all inclusive in Turks and Caicos.......lots of kids and lots of buffets. At the end of the week we caught some kind of bug and....didn't throw up but lets just say we spent a lot of time in the loo. Came home lighter than when we started out.

CruiseKeeper Posted March 21, 2006 #24 Share Posted March 21, 2006 If you follow all of the above directions and still don't get the Novo virus, at least you'll be able to pick up a good case of e-coli. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
