But people are most infectious when they have symptoms, which is when they should be quarantined in their cabins and should limit the spread of Noro.
So the paranoia about infected utensils is, IMO, overstated.
But if you feel you're under threat you can always avoid the self service restaurants.
I am feeling upset and depressed because I have never, knowingly, seen one of these hidden ducks.
Mind you thats not surprising, my wife tells me I never see when anything is out of place!
Even if they cleaned it for months, as soon as it went back into service it would be likely to succumb to further outbreaks. Its infected passengers more than infected ships that cause Noro outbreaks.
Just been looking at Huddersfields fixtures, and a very depressing looking lot they are, gone are Leeds, Sheffield Wed., Middlesborough, Norwich, WBA, Coventry, Burnley etc.
Now we have the likes of Crawley, Burton Albion, Cambridge, Shrewsbury, Stevenage and Exeter.
If the intention of this alcohol limit is to encourage passengers to pay for pre dinner drinks in a ships bar, then I guess they would also want to stop you drinking non alcoholic ones.
In fairness it was a slightly better performance than the last one.
But Gareth had a free pass tonight to give Gordon a longer run out to see if his pace on the wing would help to break down stubborn defences.
The evening turn down service never involved any major cleaning, mainly stocking up the tea and coffee, replacing used beakers and teaspoons, emptying the bins and replacing or re-folding any used towels and a quick flick round the bathroom, then drawing the blinds and fixing the lights, along with the main item of popping a choccy on your pillow.
If it was too big a job for the cabin steward to handle himself he would have reported the complaint to his/her manager, and you could have followed it up if it remained unresolved.
Not necessarily a deal, just a comparison. We booked G501 Caribbean 35 nighter on Iona on board at launch and paid £4526pp with £250pp for a GC grade select balcony. This is now £4199pp with extra, but unspecified OBC.
The glass house on Arvia is on deck 7, whilst the Keel and Cow is on deck 8.
But if you want a proper Glass House then you need to be on Ventura, or Azura at a pinch.
