November 11	Norwegian Dawn Norwegian Cruise Line	A passenger disembarking today from the 14 day repositioning cruise from New York to Miami writes that the gastrointestinal outbreak that began on the previous cruise (see October 25) continued on this one. S/he writes: We were confined to our room for 5 days.  We were told people infected with this bug were spreading it by leaving their room.  I'm not sure how that could happen. There is no way you want to go anywhere as you can just about make it to the bathroom and back to bed. There are no words to describe how terrible this virus is.  It is nothing like any flu virus you have ever experienced.  We were extremely careful with regard to hygiene, washing our hands and sanitizing whenever possible, especially entering and exiting restaurants.  It was very obvious there was a problem onboard.  No salt and pepper shakers on tables, no sugar packs on tables.  These items were handled by tongs from the server.  No trays allowed at the buffet and you could not get your own drinks.  Always a crew member handling the cups or glasses for you.  Sanitizing measures were evident throughout the ship (thank God).  This ship needs to be dry docked for a few days to sanitize and disinfect everything.  Of course that won't happen.  It would be a loss of money.  People will continue to get sick.  It was a horrible experience and of course ruined our cruise.  We missed most of the ports and once we were cleared and allowed out of our room, the enthusiasm was gone.

November 9	Pride of Hawaii NCL America	The ship reported that "about one-sixth of the 2500 passengers onboard had become ill this week with gastrointestinal illness."  The outbreak began after leaving Honolulu Harbour on Monday.  On Friday afternoon the cruise line said the illness had been confined to just the one ship -- its other two ships are not affected.   Passengers who became ill were asked along with their cabin mates to remain quarantined in their rooms for 24 hours.  Those passengers received a $200 on-ship credit.  UPDATE November 12: The illness has been confirmed as norovirus and the company has lowered the number ill to 220.

They gave us a "post card" for an I am sorry. Yet they refused to refund tour tickets (because 48 hours notice was not given).  We were sick for 5.5 days out of 7 days and quarantined. Even if we felt like it, we were not allowed to leave our room. In addition room service REFUSED to serve me. My family first needs a vacation now.	Media

May 2	Finnmarken Hurtigruten - Norwegian Coastal Voyage	A passenger aboard the cruise that sailed from Bergen on 26th.April 2007 writes that he and his wife fell victim to this most debilitating of illnesses (the symptoms indicate norovirus) on the 6th day of the voyage.
