I think this ship is haunted.

[paul929207]

That does not sound good

[Off2China]

Please elaborate!

[Working 2 Cruise]

Please do elaborate... We're sailing on her in 2 days!

[Woobstr112G]

Be interesting to hear why.....

Why post something like this and not give details?

[Dreamer333]

Sorry, very slow internet connection.

 

Very strange howling most of the night, bass thumping as though loud music is playing when no music is playing, balcony doors opening and closing, lights turning on their own, phone alarm going off when phone is dead, many injuries, Noro virus (although probably not spread by ghost)... just to name a few things!

Been on many Princess ships and never had this many strange happenings!

[Working 2 Cruise]

I can handle almost everything but there's still Noro?

The Captain announced a high number of Noro cases on Tuesday, but yesterday he announced its down to only 4 quarantined cabins.

They're doing a good job of keeping everything clean andensuring everyone is using hand sanitizer.

Thank you for posting! Sounds like you're having an interesting cruise!

 

We haven't been advised of a late embarkation on Saturday yet... keeping my fingers crossed!

[OCruisers]

Please continue to keep us updated on your "haunted" cruise! :D

You should be okay. The Bermuda Triangle is on the other side of the continent..

[paul929207]

Thanks for the updates

OP, hope you are enjoying your cruise despite the strange happenings.

Sounds like they could add an up sell charge for the Haunted Cruise Ship Experience.

Here is the image I had printed on a shirt for DH on our Crown sailing.....

Therein lies a problem. Those hand sanitizers do nothing against a virus but people use them instead of washing with soap and water. False sense of security.

LOL that might work, except it's been done: http://www.queenmary.com/tours-exhibits/tours-exhibits-attractions/haunted-encounters/

That is not exactly true. While a good soap and water scrub, when properly performed, is usually more effective than sanitizers alone, sanitizers are an effective supplementing addition to controlling the Norovirus. It helps keep the virus strain from multiplying. The problem is that if hands are not already soil free or if the person does not use enough sanitizer, it is not as effective, however it is still reducing germ counts. Users MUST keep hands washed with soap and water and also supplement with a good amount of santizer. Use enough sanitizer to saturate the hands completely and let it dry on its own. It is the dwell time that makes the difference. Also, the hand sanitizer must be at least 60% alcohol, preferably greater to do the work intended.

I stayed on the Queen Mary last weekend and some of the ghosts confided in me that they were considering jumping ship. I guess we now know where they ended up :eek::D;)

[Working 2 Cruise]

I think we should return the thread to the OP. There's already a discussion about combating Noro.

 

Any advice for us sailing soon?

[e71465]

I've cruised on the Crown 4 times and each time the ship makes strange noises and booms! On the first sailing, I overheard a woman at the pursers desk asking if the ship was breaking apart because of all the noises it was making! We laughed and enjoyed our trip!

[Dreamer333]

Now we currently have a "small fire" onboard.

Haunted.

As far as Noro, everything seems under control. I would not worry about it if I were you.

Thanks for that good news.
