Review summary

After 3 days onboard a Norovirus outbreak got me very sick. I was confined to my cabin and missed tours in Athens and Mykonos. Many passengers were sick as the outbreak spread. On day 6 there was a second outbreak and many more passengers became sick. This ship has had several outbreaks in recent years. Read about it on the internet.

So sorry to hear about the ship board illness. Washing hands at every opportunity is the key to prevention.

Wife and I have been on the Jewel 3 times and never heard of anyone getting norovirus at any time. Did you wash your hands and use the sanitizer upon entering dinning areas🤔

So sorry to hear that! We were on the Jewel this past spring and had no issues at all. Very unfortunate but please don't let that stop you from further cruising.
