After looking forward to this cruise and a ship that came highly recommended, we were informed upon arrival at the port of a delay because of noro virus activity aboard ship and they needed more time to clean. We found out CDC had red flagged our ship but we were never notified. Seems it was active since Hawaii and all the way through the canal into Florida. Some people still aboard had it. All precautions were in effect no touching of any food or helping yourself to drinks, hand washing constantly, even going into shops, etc.
Library was closed as was the swimming pool and hot tub. Walls, windows hand rails etc. were constantly scrubbed down. Still the numbers rose and it was a very uncomfortable feeling knowing you were so close to a terrible illness. We spent our on board time holed up in our cabin and then going to shore when docked.
My husband had the worst massage ever, with a girl that was inexperienced, for $171.00 and he even complained, to no avail.
