teacher2cruiser Posted December 5, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Please forgive me if this has been discussed. I am new to the boards and haven't cruised yet - our first will be in March. OK - for my question: If you have purchased insurance from the cruiseline and become ill with this virus, is there any kind of reimbursement? Another question: I read that people were quarrantined on this last outbreak on Freedom of the seas. Exactly WHERE were they isolated? Thanks for your answers.

CaptData Posted December 5, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2006 If you have purchased insurance from the cruiseline and become ill with this virus, is there any kind of reimbursement? If you mean for the doctor's visit, yes. If you mean part of the cruise no. Another question: I read that people were quarrantined on this last outbreak on Freedom of the seas. Exactly WHERE were they isolated? They would be confined to their cabins unless they were very severe case then they do have a few beds in their hospital. They would received Room Service meals from the menu offered in the Dining Rooms (but you would be recommended to have clear liquids and chicken soup). When I was sick once, they let me have some movies for free. I did not have Noro Virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballkurt Posted December 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yes you do get money back with ins. My son got it on our Disney cruise 2 years ago. He and my wife had to stay in cabin for 2 of the 4 day cruise. We got 2k back and no cost for seeing the doctor or meds. Only took about 6 weeks to get the money.

MrPete Posted December 5, 2006 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm under the impression the answer is no, as a co worker of mine's kid had contracted it before thier cruise, and decided to board anyway :eek: . They did not wish to lose their money. So I conducted a poll, and was very surprised by the results: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=128657 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Jacquelyn Posted December 5, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Interesting question. I was confined to bedrest on one of my cruises for the last 2 days, and never even thought to claim it through insurance (they did pay for my dr visit). I was enjoying my balcony for those 2 days that I really did not feel like I missed out. Of course, it wasn't Noro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
