I got the non-alcoholic package. You could get virgin drinks, like pina coladas, and they had a tropical blend that was delicious.

it amazes me how everyone blames the cruise lines when people are the cause, if you don't wash your hands after taking a s**t and you go to the buffet without using sanitizer thats how noro virus is spread, so please wash and and sanitize and all is okay.

Very possible, or on the trip down to the cruise ship. Different site had a list of traits of bad cruisers. On the list was folks that lie on the health questionnaire at boarding. Not supposed to cruise if you knowingly have flu, other spreadable sicknesses. Of course, 'No' is always checked. Welcome aboard!

you might of already had it in your system before you even got onboard, flu viruses can sit in your system for a couple of weeks before you display symptoms.
