Never heard of that, Dave.

Good grief where have you been hiding? Norovirus is in the news fairly
often, either 'cause it's got into a hospital and they are stopping
vistors and possibly closing wards for cleaning, it gets onto a cruise
ship and affects everybody (passengers and crew). It's unpleasant but for
a normal healthy person not a great threat. Keep your fluids up, mostly
water. Bananas and full fat coke are good once you can keep stuff down,
so you don't get dehydrated and lose to many salts.

I was on a cruise a few years back for the Christmas and New Year cruise on
Cunard's Queen Victoria. Norovirus struck and Cunard tried to keep it quiet,
just putting out more hand gell dispensers, but it had to come out in the
end. We were lucky, I had the whole family on board for our Golden Wedding.
It would have messed everything up if we had copped it.
