LewLewBelle Posted March 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just curious how many get sick after cruise? Last 2 or 3 we come home with respiratory/bronchitis issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jma624 Posted March 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Did you fly? I often come down with the symptoms you describe after flying - cruise vacation or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewLewBelle Posted March 10, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have gotten sick both ways. Last year hubby and I drove to port and the day we got off ship was very sick by the time we got home 6 hrs later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted March 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2017 *Knock on Wood*, I do not. I just have vertigo type symptoms where I still feel like I'm swaying for 3-4 days. Those few days after are worse for me than what I feel on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imlulu Posted March 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I did on my last cruise 2 weeks ago as did DH. I'm still battling 2 weeks later. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABCGreys Posted March 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yes, after my February cruise, I came down with a bad cold/cough. However, the same thing happened in January after a trip to Boston, so I'm thinking it's flying related and not cruise related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted March 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We usually drive and DW gets cold or flu or something most of the time after cruises. I believe it is because she has never seen a railing she will not touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenny101 Posted March 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yes the the past 2 cruises I got very sick, I think it was from having allergies then flying and it turned into sinus infections. It was awful. I'm going to be careful to take my allergy medicine this next time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzmark Posted March 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just curious how many get sick after cruise? Last 2 or 3 we come home with respiratory/bronchitis issues. I used to get sick whenever I traveled and stayed in hotels etc. Ever since I started using Lysol to clean surfaces and vents when I travel I don't suffer like I used to.

firemanbobswife Posted March 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I do because I'm allergic to not being on a cruise. Think I can get a prescription to stay on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I haven't been sick in three years but I'm very germ conscious and minimize my contact with them. I'm not surprised a lot of people get sick after a cruise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberMarie Posted March 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2017 *Knock on Wood*, I do not. I just have vertigo type symptoms where I still feel like I'm swaying for 3-4 days. Those few days after are worse for me than what I feel on the ship. Same for me... this is the worst part is after the cruise. It also depends on the length and the movement of the ship for that particular cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsywych Posted March 10, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We got off of the Carnival Vista two weeks ago, and it was the first time I've come home without a cold. This time I took antibacterial wipes and wiped the entire room down. Handles, faucets, knobs, remote, table surfaces. Then we took advantage of the new hand washing machines in the buffet, every time. Even if we'd just come from our room where we'd just washed our hands. I swear my husband took me to the Lido deck just so he could play with the machines a couple of times. He couldn't have possibly been hungry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaMommyof3 Posted March 10, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have .... but I think for me it's drinking too many fancy drinks and eating foods I'm not used to eating all the time. Add that to the weird feeling I have getting off the ship for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingomamma19 Posted March 10, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I haven't been sick in three years but I'm very germ conscious and minimize my contact with them. I'm not surprised a lot of people get sick after a cruise though. I am the opposite....I never worry about germs..never worry about touching things. Never get sick--been on 9 cruises--always coming home feeling great. I think worrying about germs too much also leads to sickness..my body has enough practice fighting germs--its gotten very good at it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted March 10, 2017 #16 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I always have a sore throat and cough by the end of the cruise. Pretty sure it's from the casino though I try and stay at the very few nonsmoking machines. Unfortunately the ventilation is terrible and almost the whole room is smoking. I don't seem to get sick on the other cruise lines that have real on smoking sections. I've never(knock on wood) have caught noro virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted March 10, 2017 #17 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Primarily only sail out of Los Angeles- Long Beach and San Pedro. Sometimes. Not the short weekend cruises nor the 7 day cruises at unpopular times/itins. Do get sick at popular times or itins. Basically when I don't get sick is when I'm sailing with a bunch of SoCal locals. I've already had their germs. The popular and more interesting itins attract non-natives and their 'new' germs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare firegal2539 Posted March 10, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I just got off the Enchantment two weeks ago. The day of disembarkation I had a 102 degree temperature. I ended up being diagnosed with the flu that then went into bronchitis. First time I have ever gotten sick on a cruise.

NLH Arizona Posted March 11, 2017 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2017 In my 45+ cruises, I've come home sick or got sick immediately after return home only a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 11, 2017 #21 Share Posted March 11, 2017 You are exposed to MANY that you're not used to...your immune system is set up to your lifestyle...so when you go outside of you" comfort zone"...you might get sick. It will lessen the more you travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted March 11, 2017 #22 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's happened, but I'm not sure if it's the cruise or the air travel. I travel a lot for work and sometimes that gets me sick. In the end, it's my habits, Need to stop touching my face. I already wash my hands and use antibacterial. So, clearly I need to be more diligent.

dawnjam1 Posted March 11, 2017 #23 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I think that sometimes I just come home worn out! I cram a lot into those few days. It takes me until half way thru to finally relax. I often come back a little off. However, something weird did happen last yr when we sailed the Breeze....I am a former crew member and have never had this happen....I had vertigo for almost 2 weeks. I am in my mid 40's and it could be that I just don't recover like I did when I was younger...but it was alarming. We shall see in July! I am willing to take the chance! Lol!

YoHoHo Posted March 11, 2017 #24 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've suffered the worst cold/flu I've had in many years but, sadly, was not on a cruise. Reading this thread I now think I am owed one. Who should I speak to about collecting that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted March 11, 2017 #25 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just curious how many get sick after cruise? Last 2 or 3 we come home with respiratory/bronchitis issues. I often do but I think it is from the flight, not the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
