As to the people who got sick, there was a flu epidemic last year because they miscalculated the type of flu that was expected and the vaccines were inadequate. It was mid winter, the height of the flu season. A few people ignored their symptoms had boarded... It wasn't Norovirus or any ship board disease. not the Cruise lines fault.

LOL... Oh yes... I bet when you sit down at the table, they ask you each to lick your fork and pass it to the next guy.. Ha!Ha! Everyone is so congenial that they think it's a swell idea. In truth, I find them very health conscious. they encourage you to use the hand sanitizer frequently.... and to use the restroom in your cabin when ever possible... The table service is clean. We noted that several people who got sick, were quarantined to their cabin to prevent the spread of infection..a ship is quite close quarters... It is in a cruise lines best interest to maintain a healthy atmosphere.
