Have just arrived home and can confirm that the captain made an announcement on Tuesday morning about increased cases of a gastrointestinal illness.
Increased protocols were going to be observed from Tuesday morning onwards, cushions were removed from cabins, staff were serving in the buffet including sugar for tea.
No butter or sugar on the table in the Epicurean,staff spraying the theatre after each show and an obvious presence of staff everywhere cleaning everything they could.
Cabin stewards have been given an assistant this morning to help with the change over.
I personally had it from Sunday night and even though I’m a fairly strong guy it utterly wiped me out until Tuesday when the captain made his announcement ( I smiled when I thought that now it’s fashionable I’ve already had it ! )
I was so grateful that my wife was able to help me off the bathroom floor throughout the night as after each bout of sickness I was as weak as a lamb.
So yes it’s there and there are increased measures in place but I’m sure the crew will continue to do all they can to minimise the impact but at the same time the passengers have to do their bit too.
