Norovirus on ncl escape

[SONJ]

We too just got off the Escape today. I actually preferred the "code red" model of staff handling the food and was wish that they kept it up longer. It was our first NCL and we are looking forward to the next ine. I did get sick after one meal (Taste) I think that it was The dessert. I don't think that anyone had a Noro Virus problem.

i also sadly just got off the escape today. I had no issues. I think NCL took the necessary precautions. You can get sick from being on an airplane or any other area. I heard of no issues this past week and am very sad to be on land! Wash your hands, try not to touch your mouth and eyes when possible and enjoy your cruise! I would not hesitate to board again and will do just that in 4 weeks and can't wait. I feel bad for those that were sick on previous sailings cause it would not be fun to miss any days of your vacation but it can happen at an all inclusive on land or anywhere so I would not stop sailing cause i got sick once as much as that would be a bad experience. i am sure other lines have had similar experiences at one time or another. The escape is an amazing ship and i would recommend it for sure!!

 

This is a good perspective. You can get sick anywhere. It just sucks even more when it's on vacation. A few years ago I got sick while at Disneyland on our last park day :eek: granted I was quarantined, but still didn't feel like doing anything.

 

I'm glad to hear this sailing was better.

Just got back today from our 1st Norwegian cruise. First off, I was a little nervous because I had read some negative reviews about the food and staff. Let me tell you, I found the food to be good in the restaurants & the buffet. I carried hand sanitizer and washed my hands a lot and neither me or hubby got sick. I didn't hear of anyone sick on this cruise. As far as the staff, everyone single person greeted you pleasantly. We were fortunate enough to get Vibe passes. Our bartenders Ruby, Robert & Rienzi were awesome! This was the best vacation ever. IMO, I thought it was sooooo much better than Royal..liked it so much, I cancelled my Carnival cruise that i had a deposit on & booked a Nov 2017 cruise on the Escape again!

 

Hand sanitizer won't protect you from viruses, such as Noro, only bacteria. That's why it is more important to wash your hands with soap and water frequently.

We also got off the ship yesterday and saw two times the sanitation team (in overalls, masks, gloves, glasses) working in the Haven area. Both were on day two, once they had to sanitize the restroom at the Haven bar, the other time a guest vomited in towels on one of the loungers in the Haven pool area.

We were on the same sailing as you and also preferred the buffet set up the first few days!

We sailed on the Escape Oct 30 to Nov 5. No issues at all and never heard of anyone being ill on our cruise. Fantastic time!!! ☺

When my husband and I came down with Noro on our Royal Caribbean cruise we hadn't heard of anyone getting it. My husband would roll his eyes at me from all the hand washing that I did. That was Until that is that he came down with Noro. Two days later the hand washer extraordinaire got sick, too. #entirepartyneedstowash

We were on the spirit in 2010 out of Boston for a 15 night cruise to Caribbean. The cruise before us to Canada was hit with Niro. Our entire cruise no one was sick but they kept up the same precaution. Not a problem. The washy washy people were outside all the food areas and casino. We could not even pick up a box of cereal by ourselves. It was a great cruise.
