I’ve just spent the last 3 days in bed at home because of it - do I get reimbursed for using holiday from work and then being ill? Nope. It’s one of those things.

It happens. Blame a fellow guest. It also happens in Churches, Schools and hospitals. No compensation warranted. I'm on Indy now. No issues yet on day 8 of 9.

We saw it in the news. So sorry. But as stated above, it does happen. My wife and I talked about it. We plan on taking plenty of sanitizer, still we will be taking a chance this time of year. Lots of people from over on the ship.

Advise you to delete your phone #. It is norovirus, which is the #1 stomach problem in the winter, on land. So, if you miss work because it's going around, do they reimburse you? I know this makes a vacation not fun, but doubt a reimbursement will be given.

My daughter and her hubby got Norovirus back in 2008 on their honeymoon. Quarantined for 2 days. After that, they carried on. And they still cruise to this day. Nobody’s going to reimburse you for catching a virus.

Lol! No. Reimbursement is not called for. This happens. Get over it.
