silkman Posted August 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Shortly after arriving home from the cruise ,I had a high fever and headache.I was diagnosed with viral spinal meningitis. I was just curious if anyone else on the cruise had contracted a virus. Other than the virus(which may or may not have been contracted on the ship), the cruise was great...one of the best we have had.We arrived in Reykjavik 4 days early . The scenery...waterfalls , geysers . lava fields, etc. in Iceland were spectacular. Everything on the Insignia was up to it's high standards . We have been on the Insginia 4 times, and have never been disappointed. Edited August 11, 2016 by silkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I didn't hear of any illnesses on the Insignia during our segment. Sorry to hear of your illness and hope you are recovering rapidly.

Rare Woodrowst Posted August 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Silkman- Sorry to hear of your illness. My wife and I were on your cruise and we were fine. We did not hear of anyone getting sick while we were on board. We loved the Iceland to Stockholm cruise, too. We enjoyed the Insignia so much that we booked another cruise on an R class Oceania ship for next summer - it circumnavigates Spain and we thought that was a pretty unique itinerary. I hope you are feeling better and well down the path to recovery. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was paranoid on ship,washing my hands constantly , using special disinfecting "wipes" to wipe down the room... using special hand sanitizer which supposedly is effective against noro. Of course I may not have gotten the meningitis on the ship. We took an Insignia cruise in 2011 which included many Spanish ports as well as Portugal and France....Left from Dover and included Paris(Rouen),St. Peter Port,Lorient,Bordeaux,Bilbao,La Coruna,Oporto,Lisbon,Seville(Cadiz),Malaga,Valencia,Barcelona. I m sure you will enjoy the cruise. Thank you also Haskinsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
