Yes, Ash is putting up some really interesting information. It's great for us as we are on Ovation in February. All the information is on the newsfeed, you just need to scroll down for it.

[Mr&MrsCookie]

Yep, lots of good pics and info on there (wish she would stop calling it a boat though lol)

Just received an email from RCI advising delay in our boarding on Thursday due to sanitizing be carried out.

Noro outbreak?

[Scottygirl1]

Looks like it - they are spraying the hallways, have closed self service to the buffet etc.

[MicCanberra]

Ah well, hope they can contain and destroy it.

Just finished Ovation OTS 10 day NZ on 17/12. No more noro. Self serve in Windjammer. Crew constantly cleaning walls, hand rails, doors, door handles (several times a day). First time we've come across hand washing basins going into Windjammer and Solarium. MDR still squirt and rub.

Most alcohol handwash doesn't kill noro.

 

Always wondered why they made such a fuss of using it when there's an outbreak.

I agree with you but there is some bacteria that it (sanitizer) will kill. I think that some seem to go OTT about using hand sanitisers. We follow normal handwashing protocol and have never had the noro bug even though it was present on a few of our 11 cruises. Maybe just lucky or have some resistance, who knows?

 

Two years ago we had a 2 week tour of Mexico with a group of 26 other Aussies. About 3/4 were using hand sanitisers and more than half suffered from Montezuma's revenge. A 16 day tour of India last year about 1/2 of the 30 in group were using sanitizers and only 2 or 3 got Delhi Belly.
