Have an opinion on somebody accusing them of causing severe food poisoning.

I very much doubt Carnival are bothered about 1 single accusation, if they are then I'd say they'd be very busy, we read on here everyday about things like this across all the brands, I doubt they are even bothered let alone suing.

I would be flabbergasted if they even take the time to read these boards or any others even their own, let alone act on them.

Update: I managed to get an audience with a GP earlier. He thinks it was most unlikely that I suffered from food poisoning, it was more likely to have been the early symptoms of Covid. Therefore I apologise for misleading anyone on this forum. I tested positive again today so feeling rough still. I hope everyone else who left Britannia are feeling ok.

Thanks for coming back and letting the board know. I hope you start to feel better soon.

I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for taking the time to let us know when you are clearly still very unwell.

Please don't apologise, at the time you suspected food poisoning which has now been deemed unlikely, thanks for the update.

Strangely Celebrity used to have someone from customer services routinely reading their forum, and responding to some of the posts.  And their CD on Eclipse did always comment on their CC meet and greet get togethers how important this was for them to know what their regular cruisers were thinking.

Ah right, will keep an eye out in the future.

Always a good idea to establish the facts before jumping to conclusions.

No I didn’t report it. I really didn’t fancy being interrogated by the on board medical people. I probably should have done

You would have been locked in the cabin for at least 2 days if you had? So probably best that you didn't.

I agree. Just let them roam the ship infecting others. A much better idea. Have we not learnt anything over the last three years?

"Food posioning" is NOT contagious from person to person it is from probably wrongly cooked food to customer.

But symptoms are similar to Noro, which is very infectious, so should be reported.

Not through the air maybe. But definitely by direct contact via lift buttons, door handles, utensils in the buffet etc. 

 

It would definitely reduced the risk of spreading covid (which this "food poisoning" was an early symptom of). And, as we all know, covid, flu and colds are most contagious before the respiratory symptoms appear.

If only more on here did that.  These boards would have very few posts on them, but they'd be of far more value!

It’s a shame the OP didn’t consult with Medical Centre as all guests are advised to do if they become unwell.  After all this is what insurance is for. If you don’t agree with excess on policy or want to pay it find another one that you are happy with.

I was very careful relating my toe Saga not to imply any blame on P&O's fault. In fact I rarely mention it at all.

Saga specialise in toe injuries…..convalescence rather than donations.

@zap99 I hope your toe is much better as we do not hear much about you and your toe.

If you do not want to talk about it ,we do understand after all the trauma you went through at the time of the mishap.🙃

As you insist. I foolishly kicked the coffee table on Oona. My own silly fault, not P&O. It took a year for the black bit to grow out. Not P&O's fault....still, it blooming well hurt.🤣

But have you not just done what you've accused the OP off, jumped to a conclusion?

 

"Update: I managed to get an audience with a GP earlier. He thinks it was most unlikely that I suffered from food poisoning, it was more likely to have been the early symptoms of Covid"

 

I see nothing that catorgorically suggests it wasn't food poisoning, the only factual evidence is that the OP tested positive after returning home, just to add not all covid symptoms are the same , I recently had it and simply had mild cold symptoms, no sickness, stomach cramps or diarrhoea.

If you say so 🙄

Is that Oona, Charlie Chaplin’s wife?
