OHCruiser Posted June 26, 2018 #76 Share Posted June 26, 2018 We were on the cruise with our 8 year old grandson. We happily washed our hands, used the sanitizer, and came away just fine. The captain read the info on Noro twice every day, and we saw the staff cleaning like crazy. We were very appreciative of all that the staff did. If people can't make an effort to merely protect themselves, that's pretty darn sad. We did have a lot of first time cruisers who didn't understand--and who then went on to complain bitterly after they were informed. Personally, I don't get that. When we cruise, we start every day with a nice dose of a high alcohol content white wine [i heard years ago that it could help kill off stomach bugs quickly], and--knock wood--we've seen Noro on nearly every cruise and we've never gotten sick. Can't hurt, might help, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piescruises Posted June 26, 2018 #77 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I've been star princess with no issues. That is terrible that the ship that I went on my first cruise on now has 2 bad instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted June 26, 2018 #78 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I read about the change in formula last year and bought enough to last me the rest of my cruising lifeIn numerous scents so I don't get tired if it 50c a bar you cant go wrong, and its nice to use, much better than the Princess product IMHO Just remember...if it says "anti-bacterial" on the package, it won't do anything against Noro. Noro is a VIRUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griller Posted June 27, 2018 #79 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just remember...if it says "anti-bacterial" on the package, it won't do anything against Noro. Noro is a VIRUS. Try reading my post on this thread, #22 before you jump in with the capital letter words and the condescending remarks " I take Dial antibacterial soap on board now, wont kill viruses like Noro but will maybe work on bacteria like E Coli. 2 bars for $1 at $Tree stores" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katrina915 Posted June 27, 2018 #81 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I was on the June 16-23 sailing and thought the captain and crew handled it well. This was my first time on Princess and with a potential minor norovirus outbreak. Lines were slightly longer due to crew serving food but no big deal. I didn't do anything different than be a little more vigilant and listened to the captain. I actually was wondering where all the people were since there really wasn't any lines for burgers, pizza, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted June 28, 2018 Author #82 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Happy to report that it is now day five of the June 23rd cruise and no reports of noro. Everything went back to normal and I’d say about two thirds of people are washing their hands when entering the buffet (us included).

pepcey Posted June 28, 2018 #84 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Bring Clorox wipes, and wipe down the tv remote, and handles in your cabin. You should be fine. Just take precautions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robodoc Posted July 16, 2018 #85 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We were on the July 6 sailing . They strictly enforced hand washing before entering the horizon court and required you to sanitize before getting a plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZJerry Posted July 24, 2018 #86 Share Posted July 24, 2018 We were on the July 14 sailing. While there was the standard server handing out plates on entry, there was no effort made to enforce hand washing or sanitizer use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
