Info re cancelled November cruise

[Grumbo]

Without getting everyone stirred up, as I have read some old threads about the aftermath, can someone either advise, or point me towards a thread that explains WHAT happened to cancel the cruise.
I take it was the Magic from what I've read?
Cheers,

This is the cruise that was cancelled to take the Magic off line for a week to thoroughly disinfect, try to get crew healthy, etc. in the attempt to short circuit Norwalk virus.

OK thanx. I recall it in the news now. I thought it was perhaps an accident or the like. Couldn't find much while searching.
Thanx for the quick response.
Cheers,

That the was the first and only time DCL actually cancelled a cruise. They disenfected the whole ship as well as replaced all the mattresses and pillows onboard and steam cleaned all the drapes, carpets, etc. We talked to some of the CM's when we sailed in January and they said it was one tough week of work for all onboard. They were scrubbing all week and even moved out all the arcade games in the game rooms to throroughly wash them down as well!!!

I think what stirred some folks up was that Disney did not seem to be consistent in their compensation to guests.
