Norovirus – the dangers of becoming ill on a cruise ship

Norovirus is a highly contagious gastrointestinal virus which can be passed on from one person to another with alarming ease. Some people remain contagious for up to 2 weeks after recovering. This could be the reason why many cruise ship passengers suffer from norovirus on successive cruises. It is often unlikely that passengers and crew stay confined to their rooms for as long as the illness remains, which increases the likelihood of norovirus spreading.

Whilst norovirus outbreaks are not confined to cruise ships, many people in a closed community increases the risk of the virus spreading. Norovirus can be spread through contaminated food and drink, which is particularly worrying if the crew members who serve or prepare food become ill.

If you have contracted norovirus onboard a holiday cruise ship, during the past three years, it is vital you contact a personal injury solicitor who will help you claim the compensation you deserve.Passengers can pick up the virus from touching infected surfaces like handrails, walls and mirrors. When a suspected norovirus outbreak occurs on a cruise ship, crew should spray disinfectant on all common surfaces, and sick passengers are usually confined to their rooms. Claiming compensation for norovirus can be complicated. Once you contact a good personal injury solicitor, who specialises in holiday accidents and illness, your mind should be put at rest.

Sufferers of norovirus have acute symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Some also have stomach cramps, headaches, and chills. One 21 year old man actually died two days after disembarking from his ship. The cause of death was cited as being complications from a norovirus infection, although this is very uncommon. Norovirus infections are usually not major health risks, though they are highly unpleasant, both for passengers and cruise ship companies.
