Pacific Explorer

Hi everyone

Anybody heard about health problems on Pacific Explorers last cruise ??

No but then with any ship there is likely to be some cold/cough and also perhaps some Noro around the ship. Take the usual precautions (wash hands frequently whenever possible but especially just before eating, use the sanitizers, do not eat with your hands or touch your face/mouth, and avoid sick people) and you will be fine.

Only asked as I heard that there had been 3 deaths and quite a few very ill but they didn't know what it was I did suspect Noro

would have thought with that type of incident we would have heard something ??

Most likely old age with a bad pneumonia, I doubt Noro virus would have killed 3 people.

According to RCL crew, on a 20 night cruise, in a largish ship,  they expect around 10 deaths.

Doing the maths, you could expect around 3 deaths on a 7 night cruise.

The demographics have a large part to play in this.

People die every day whether they are on a ship or not. It happens, I have been on a cruise that had the coroner van pull up at every docked port, it was a long cruise on HAL.
