• Virus alert !!!!

    January 24, 2014, Caribbean Sea ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Well three days out of New York and the Norovirus has hit the ship.
    I'm not really sure exactly how many people are affected by the virus, but it is definitely well over 200, With Sheila,Eva and possibly Sue laid low with it.
    It's definitely at epidemic level as we have had our first port of call cancelled.
    It was supposed to be Labadee, but now we've go an extra day at sea as we head straight for our second port of call, San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we are going to have some enhanced sanitation done, which hopefully will clear the infection.
    We will arrive there about half a day earlier than expected, but I'm certain we'll be kept in quarantine for the duration of the sanitation.
    So all in all a pretty miserable start to the cruise :-(
