I was on the Epic Caribbean cruise 12-22-19 thru 12-29-19.  During the cruise I developed symptoms very similar to the coronavirus (terrible dry cough, chills & night sweats, fatigue, fever (but low 99-101), loss of appetite).  I also experienced a few episodes where I had trouble taking deep breaths, which is unusual for me as while I am 57 years old...

 

I am writing this in case someone reads this and experienced the same symptoms I did on the Norwegian Epic during similar timeframe. 

 

Curious if there are others out there that experienced similar symptoms while on that cruise.

Funny how you ask if anyone else experienced the same thing as you did, around the same time, on the same ship and (I didn't read ALL posts - I begot tired) many diagnosed you, gave you their medical advice and expertise of the Corona virus.  But, I didn't read a response to your question.

My response - yes.

I was on the Epic 12/08 - 12/15.

I seldom get sick. 

I had the same symptoms as you - chills, sweats, fatigue and, something I've never had before, when I took a deep breath, I had chest pain.

I checked my records and see that I called in sick January 1st & 2nd.  So, my illness started on December 30th or so and I returned to work January 5th, even though I didn't feel 100% yet.  I was sick a good week.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned it.

There are two bus companies that run to Termini station (same place Leonardo Express goes) for about $7 US.

Large luggage under the bus. Small luggage, you bring on the bus.
