Before we left on our cruise last year there were reports on these forums of an outbreak on a/the previous cruise prompting many to think that when it was announced on our cruise that it hadn't gone away,these ships are hardly ever idle for long,they don't make money if not sailing,so once established on board it can't be easy to get rid of especially if the passengers don't help!

Having just returned from the full world cruise I can confirm that the problems began after Singapore and increased dramatically after embarking passengers in Capetown , Captain Sharples did a good job in trying to contain it but some people will just not do as they are asked and some did indeed get removed for not following the requests of the captain , rightly so imho. 

Unbelievable how rude and obstructive some people are to staff when asked to follow basic hygiene requests, it is also fair to mention that if enforcement had been made from the start it would have restricted some of the problems.

Some passengers embarking in Capetown were isolating in their cabins within an hour of boarding so no doubt they brought issues on board with them.

Unable to confirm but mention was made of a couple put off in Tenerife because they stated they were allergic to water 😒

If that is true then these absolute nutcases ought to be put on a blacklist for all cruise lines.  There is mental illness then there are these throbbers!!
