The number of reported new cases of gastrointestinal illness has dropped sharply after a spike in th

Nearly 700 crew and passengers fell ill aboard the Explorer of the Seas, the highest cheap travel to alaska number of sick people reported on any cruise ship in two decades, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show.
They claim there were 600; I think there could have as many as 1,000 sick people on board, passenger Sal Panto Jr. told CNN. Some people I know didn t bother going down to the infirmary. They weren t feeling well, so they went to the state room. They didn t report it.
After the cruise, Kim Waite told CNN that she discovered the scope of the outbreak when she was taken to a makeshift infirmary in a wheelchair and sick passengers were everywhere, vomiting in buckets and bags. She said she waited three hours to be seen.
One passenger was seen being put on a stretcher and taken to ambulance, but the cruise cheap travel to alaska line said in a statement that he was transported to a hospital for a reason unrelated to norovirus, cheap travel to alaska a common cause of gastroenteritis, which produces vomiting and diarrhea.
Before the ship arrived at port in Bayonne, New Jersey, one frustrated passenger voiced her displeasure with the experience. Passengers disembarked in northern New Jersey shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, with some set to stay in area hotels until they can catch flights back home days before the Super Bowl will be played there.
Are we bringing this virus off the ship with us? asked Shannon Blace, a passenger from Toronto who was traveling with a party of 12 people 10 of whom have been sick. We re all going to hotels all over the New York area. Will we be spreading the virus to the Super Bowl this weekend?
On Wednesday night, I was in the dining room and a woman was vomiting into her napkin, she said. There were people walking around in their pajamas with vomit and diarrhea on them. People were barfing all over the place.
On Sunday, five stool samples were sent from the ship to the CDC in Atlanta, where the samples were expected to arrive cheap travel to alaska the next day, CDC sources told CNN. But the arrival of the samples has been delayed because of paperwork issues and the bad weather in the Southeast.
It will be the third aggressive cheap travel to alaska sanitizing procedure the ship has undertaken since we became aware of the issue, and will additionally provide a window of more than 24 hours where there are no persons aboard the ship, which is a significant help, the statement cheap travel to alaska said.
The number of reported new cases of gastrointestinal illness has dropped sharply after a spike in the first days of the cruise, and most guests who fell ill are up and about, the cruise line said Monday.
The drop in new cases is encouraging. However, it is not unusual in an outbreak to still have smaller, secondary spikes. That is why, after discussions with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and our medical team, we decided the most prudent course for the health of our guests and crew was to bring the cruise home on Wednesday, two days earlier than planned.
It is very hard to read about this, fellow travelers suffering from this kind of Norovirus. I mean how could that cruise ship management can be overlook this kind of issues of health concerns. Although we can t do anything for these disasters cheap travel to alaska but this is minimal precaution to see the health check before getting on board.
