We did Sth Pacific Cruise on Noordam in Jan 2019 & were horrified to witness staff "glad wrapping" a child taken out of pool with diarrhea running down their legs. No announcement to other passengers just "disappeared" the sick child as quick as possible. Pool emptied; scrubbed by masked staff & back in operation next day. Catch cry amongst passengers we spoke to was "Noordam No Damn Way"!!
