I saw this on the 10 o'clock news last night, I said to my DW, "Oh no, here we go again!!!" Just keep it away from the Magic and Wonder.

ahhhhhhhh - noooooooooo
It will NOT be on the Magic Nov 8-15
It will NOT happen to IGTD (or any other 11/30 cancelled cruisers) again!

Please don't panic. It was 72 people and they think a 14-year-old girl was the source. I'm sure the ship will be investigated and life goes on. No reason to worry about it, just wash your hands as always.

My family always gets sick after a cruise. On the 4 we've been on (2 on Disney) when we get off we all have colds, fever, yucky feeling. It's a product of your environment (closed circuit air conditioning, close quarters, blah, blah, blah) At least one of my four has something on CC or it starts that night. What I'm trying to say -- don't panic! You don't panic when it goes through school, office, etc. You are also eating richer foods than normal and more than normal, being in the sun more than normal, not sleeping as much, yadda yadda yadda. Wash your hands, take hand sanitizer and have a great time!

I agree with Michelle. This is NOT a big deal! We sailed on the Thanksgiving Cruise in November; the cruise prior to the canceled 11/30 cruise.

You know what? We washed our hands and were fine. The deal is, wash your hands and you won't get sick.

This isn't an airborn infection that can leap from person to person!

I only posted it to show that people do get sick all the time,, it was ONLY 72 people a small small fraction of the passangers and they have a real good idea who brought it on (shame on her and her parents..) IMGTD please don't panic,, all will be fine! I was only posting it to show that a stomach virus is not that uncommon.. All will be fine I am sure!

IGTD~~RELAX! We're ALL hoping you go this year.

It is a small amount and probably because the stomach flu is usually more common duing the winter months, usually Oct-April are the peak months. The numbers are probably higher during that time. We just got off the Magic and colds/coughs were going around the ship. Two of mine got it too. Not bad, very mild but they still caught something. We were careful about washing your hands, but you can only do so much. You can't constantly be washing your hands or you would never get to do anything else! Just try to take tne necessary precautions but don't be "anal" about it either...it can drive you nuts and make you paranoid. I know I was thinking about this stuff more on this cruise than the other 2 I took prior to the outbreaks.

Oooooohhhhhhhhh nnnnooooooooo........We were one of the cancelled 11/30/2002 and are to be on the 11/29/2003 Eastern......but the Magic is to be in dry dock between now and then sooooo.......even if the illness does reappear I think they will sanatise while in drydock!?!?!!?!?!?

Okay, let's not get in a frenzy over this, folks!

One incident on one ship......just remember wash your hands thoroughly and don't stress out over something you have no control over.

By the way, I leave on Saturday's Magic and yesterday I reinjured my knee.. it's swollen and I can't walk on it and I have 24 hours before we are due to leave for the Airport.......now, if anyone wants to worry about something...here is a situation to consider.........

Let's keep things in perspective....big difference between ACTUAL and POTENTIAL.

Rae, so sorry to hear about your knee! I hope it is feeling better by the time you get to the ship...otherwise you will have to relax and be serenaded by Michael and Fidelio, and that's not so bad I am sure you will have a great time, but I do hope your knee recovers quickly....

 

[rae519]

My darling Favorite Auntie....never fear the powers of recooperation will get me to both the shrimp bowl and Dueling Pianos - cane, wheelchair or walking with a limp -----Nothing can keep a good Rae down!!!!!!!!

My friend Ann recommended Aleve - I told her RUM. So if I am walking with a limp and swaggering like Captain Jack Sparrow, you can believe it's not the Aleve!

Rae

 

[AnnMorin]

As I said in my pm Rae, take the aleve WITH the rum it will help it work faster
Aye aye captain..
"who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Rae, Rae, one leg!

Rae, Rae one leg!
(can you tell Mike is watching sponge bob right now?)
