Do NOT report to the ships doctor/infirmary unless you think you are going to die. They will quarantine you at the drop of a hat under suspicion of the Norwalk Virus if you say you have chills, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting or diarhea. |
You know, that's awesome advice. You just told me something I wouldn't have known, and could save me a lot of trouble. This is precisely why I posted on here, to find out info like this. You're the greatest! I never even heard of Norwalk Virus before..but I did some research and found some alarming information

If you scroll down to where it shows the virus outbreaks on cruise ships, thats quite a lot of outbreaks!
