Sickness on board

[Cloud9 Bob]

I cruised Scarlet Lady solo in June/2023. I'm not germ phobic, but I'm very careful. I never eat from a buffet. Sanitize or wash my hands before doing anything...like eating or scratching my nose etc. I still social distance somewhat. Wear a mask on a tour bus or airplane. I got what I believe was norovirus. I can't of course be sure, but my best guess was that it was from some really old looking salad items at that nights dinner in Razzle Dazzle. I also had a really ratty sprig of mint in a drink. The staff is generally great on VV, but we can't exclude an overworked, undertrained employee contaminating food during prep either. Especially salad items. Some passengers do act very strangely around food, but I can only imagine the same thing goes on in the back. Bottom line though is I enjoy cruising and for me,  the pros still outweigh the cons.
