Review summary

My wife and I became sick 24 hours apart, her on the 3rd night of cruise and me on the 4th night of cruise. My wife remained in her cabin for 3 day missing ports of call in Freeport and Nassau. We had scheduled a resort for a day in Nassau and both of us were to sick to get off the ship. There was a trip for me to my local ER as soon as we arrived back in our hometown. I received fluids and was able to go home. The ER Dr said we had all the symptoms of the NORO virus and would take several more days to clear out of our system. I contacted Carnival to see if there were any discounts etc for additional cruises because of this and they told me they did not do that.

Sorry to hear that. My husband and I got sick(high fever) on a cruise one. On our 15 day cruise he was sick 9-11 and I 12 -13. Fortunately mostly sea days. Did miss a formal night

Sorry to hear about that. Were there other people sick on the ship? Did you have travel insurance. I'm glad you're feeling better and hopefully you will have a great time on another cruise.
