I was unaware of Noro virus until now.
More common on larger ships because more people. Weve been on 2 cruises smaller ships and no norro-virus we heard of. Howver, the same port a larger ship had disembarked the day before and the baggage handler told us they had 200 cases of norro-virus.
Im taking along grapefruit to kill intestinal this or that. Dont know if It will help if was to get the virus, but Ive taken one of those pills here at home to test if they have any side effects and I had none.
Damn it. The carbon footprint thing doesn't bother me though. I think the global warming stuff is a but over blown and not much we can do about it anyway. Everytime we create laws here to stop it, there goes another competitive advantage to businesses in China who we can export our carbon footprint to, so we can shrug our shoulders and say "well, we did our part".
If it is not overblown, and as bad or worse than some experts in that field say ---to my ppm greenhouse gases already in atmosphere--- then, yeah, I can understand your lack of hope. On the other hand it is not over til it is over, and no one really knows what future will unfold before us.
The fiance wants me to go on a cruise also. No ideal why, even people on vacation annoy men they always act superior to their servers and I am always the one in a group trying to make amends by kissing the ass of servers and layong large tips.
I had read, it was common practice to give the room steward $20.00, so I did that first thing, even tho my wife had me tell him to not clean our rooms at all. He was "are you sure?"
I can say good morning hello how are you in a few differrent languages, but what I wish I had for the cruise with so many workers from differrent countries, is to have on of those electronic things that you can type in what want to say, and it will say it out loud for you and the langugage you want to hear it. That would be cool thing to have.
