The_Big_M Posted August 6, 2016 #51 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Might be of some relevance to the pending judgment in the class action against Scenic Cruises Unless this action is taken in a British court (which it isn't) then the case law in other countries is not a consideration in local law, since the laws themselves are different.

The_Big_M Posted August 6, 2016 #52 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Probably. The issue is if the cruise before yours has an outbreak then it extends to yours. But this was the first of five cruises we had experienced it. Unfortunately, I've had a number of cruises where we start out on restrictions due to the cruise before us having an outbreak. That said, it's still better than having the outbreak on the cruise we are on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted August 6, 2016 #53 Share Posted August 6, 2016 That said, it's still better than having the outbreak on the cruise we are on! Or not cruising at all! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hyperactive and causing many significant issues and seems the cause of a dvt in an unusual place. And that was just the beginning. So it will shortly be brought to heel through some nasty drugs. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane41 Posted August 7, 2016 #58 Share Posted August 7, 2016 what a load of BS....a lot of passengers dont wash their hands after being to the loo How do you know this? Do you physically go into every single passengers cabin and watch them on the toilet and their cleaning habits. Seems a very strange response to me.

I have witnessed many people not washing their hands, sometimes I say something, other times I do not (like at the pub). When cruising it is not as prevalent but it still occurs, so I do comment as most times people will not be as confrontational and will just be embarrassed.

Pushka Posted August 7, 2016 #61 Share Posted August 7, 2016 That doesn't sound good, Pushka. Hope they get it under control without too many side-effects. Take care. Thanks TripleJ. I was doing a tally of specialists I've seen since February. 3 Consultants at Royal Adelaide Hospital, Hematologist, Urologist, Nephrologist, Rheumatologist and Dermatologist. Just for a dvt in the neck. 4 CT scans of various parts, 5 ultrasounds of various parts, chest and brain xrays, multiple urine tests, barium meal, cytoscope, prob a kidney biopsy and buckets of blood tests. For a silly little lump that has major significance. My immune system is attacking me. My medicare safety limit this year already met. But I am still going to cruise!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Good luck, fun isn't it. I used to hit my safety net on both Medicare and the medication one, in the first three months. I hope they get an answer for you soon. One of the great things about cruising even when your crook you can still have an enjoyable time and Mrs a Gut can do her thing and still check on me as often as she wants.

When cruising it is not as prevalent but it still occurs, so I do comment as most times people will not be as confrontational and will just be embarrassed. I try not to watch other peoples bathroom habits when in public toilets. It is not in my interests to observe others. Having said that you are aware that those hand dryers in public bathrooms are extremely unhygienic? Basically those machines suck up all the urine and excrement vapour and dissipate it in a nice warm patch all over your hands. Not to mention opening the door when you leave with your hand negates the purpose of washing them to start with. I would never judge people based on what I see them doing or not doing because it is what they do when you are not looking that could be proving you completely wrong.

You don't have to keep them under close observation but when I see someone come out of a regular cubicle in the ladies and head straight for the door instead of the handbasins it's fairly obvious they aren't going to wash their hands! :eek: Also I've never seen a hand dryer in a cruise ship public toilet, only paper towels - which you also use to open the door when required. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily watch people go directly from the facilities to the door rather than the basins, these people I do pull up. As for the Air dryers, I use paper or the cloth towels and use one to open the door as this is one spot that is bound to have noro on it.:( Edited August 7, 2016 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
