[Travelandtourism] Princess Cruise Lines - Norovirus on the returning trip into Miami

[cheryl echevarria]

Dated January 4, 2012
92 Passengers and 13 Crew Members had is what is Norovirus when they returned from there cruise.
You may hear about this about cruise lines, do you know what Norovirus is.
It is a stomach virus, it doesn't come from the food that they cook or from your staterooms not being cleaned properly.  Far from it.
It is from one person coming on a ship already slightly ill weather it being a cough or sneezing and then doesn't wash there hands, and then touch food.
On all cruise ships, they have what we call washy, washy girls, Nelson had a interview with one of the girls on the last cruise we went on in November. I will try and send this to Peter Donahue to put on the website with Travel and Tourism, and I will post it on my blog, but it is also on my youtube page, it is short, but sweet.
Washy, Washy people are all over the ship before you get on the ship, when you leave the ship, before you go into a restaurant and after, they spray your hands with anti-bacteria spray, mostly like the sprays you will find at health and beauty aids, or specialty stores.
I recommend that if you are going to travel whether on a cruise or an airplane, because airplanes are the worst places to get sick.
Is to bring with you, anti-bacteria wipes or spray.
The cruise ship is delaying the upcoming cruise because they have to clean and disinfect every area of the ship.
Also, if you are sick prior to going on a trip, remember there are other people traveling with you, cover your mouth when you sneeze and cough, and make sure the kids also, it doesn't take that long to wash your hands.
