I had Norovirus on a Cruise Ship 🤮 Here's What Happened!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- I have been living on cruise ships for over 3 months now. This is the first time I have been sick. Unfortunately, my first sickness was the dreaded Norovirus. In this video, I describe what it’s like to have Norovirus on a cruise ship. I talk about not only the symptoms but the cruise ships response to having an ill and contagious cruise passenger with Norovirus.

For that coffee when you’re ready to enjoy something more than watermelon. So glad you’re better.
Awww....thank you HL T!
as someone with severe emetophobia anxiety i’m so thankful to you for trying your best to not infect anyone els esp high risk
it's the right thing to do for sure
My wife and I are loyal Princess cruisers. Your description of all the protocols and interactions with staff only reinforces why we continue to cruise Princess. This was a very informative video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
No problem, Denny. I too love Princess and this made me like them more.
Just so you know, Tricare Overseas is who you send your bill to before filing your travel insurance claim. Takes about 3 weeks to get a payment. Also had what I now think was Norovirus on Enchanted. I ended up so sick and dehydrated, had to get an IV in medical on day 4 of my illness (along with medications). My bill was $800, but was worth every penny. I enjoyed the rest of the trip immensely. I also thought that the medical staff was great, professional and caring.
Oh wow! That is so good to know. And glad to know that tricare covers that!
I knew Tricare covered overseas--as opposed to Medicare--but I never would have thought of sending them an onboard bill. Thanks for letting us all know.
Agh. The absolute worst illness of all is the Noravirus!!
How awful! I'm glad you recovered so (relatively) quickly. Norovirus is literally my biggest fear during cruising.
Understand that for sure.
Wait a couple hours after everyone else eats and if they don’t get sick then easy
I was concerned you had gotten sick when you hadn’t posted a video. Good to hear you are much much better👏🏼.
The thing is when you craved the watermelon it is rich in potassium and watermelon is a great natural electrolyte…two things that were good for your body after being sick, and even though you had been drinking water the watermelon hydrated your body. Water should be sipped when nauseous or it can cause you to throw-up.
The cruise ship was excellent taking care of you, & cleaning/sanitize your cabin probably better than being at a hotel.
Thanks for sharing your experience..and once again glad to hear you are on the other side of this illness.
Thanks, Bev! I definitely enjoyed the watermelon.
Now you’re cruising…
The “floating Petri dish” description is spot-on.
haha...yeah...right of passage
My sister was on a princess cruise a couple months ago, and had a similar experience with the virus. They prescribed her medication’s, but she wasn’t able to keep them down. So the medical staff came back and gave her a shot. That did help her, and she was finally able to get some sleep. But when she checked her charges, she was hit with a $40 fee for the shot. When she called and asked if it could be removed since she got sick on their ship, they agreed and remove the charges. Just something they keep in mind. If the charge is there, it’s possible to reason with them.
That's good to know.
Stay safe, healthy, and have a great, Labor Day weekend-haven't forgotten ya!🎉🎉🎇🎇🤗
thanks maxine
KEVIN - this could be your “How I Lost 9 LBS On A Cruise 2.0” video…. Seriously - so thankful that you were so well cared for, but so sorry that you had to go thru this. Dang it, man!
Yeah, could definitely do another weight loss vid!
As a person who had neuroviris on a cruise, I really appreciated your account of this horrendous experience. My experience was on Carnival, and as a result of my illness I lost 20 pounds over the next several months during and after the cruise. As a result my A1C fell from 6.9 to 6.6 and my diet is more healthy. Hell of a way to do that, I must say. Thanks so much for the video. --HD
I had norovirus but not cruise ship. Hospitalization required my potassium dipped to a critical low level. Not fun
Oh wow! Very cool!!!!
I'm sure it's what we just had ..not cruise . Not nice ..for me I felt weak fatigued ..only niw coming to the end of it ..its not nice . Feel like death literally ..Great video .. they seem to do a fab job of looking after you I'm.imprrssed
It's like dealing with women....Whatever works.
Wow! That was tough! But thanks for sharing and getting into the details!
Thanks for watching, Mark!
Thank you for sharing, very insightful, glad you are feeling better and on the mend !
Thanks, Stephen.
Hate you had to experience this, Kevin, but kudos for your honesty. Sending positive energy and smooth sailing wishes for upcoming months.😊
So very sorry you had to go through that, but happy to hear you are doing well again. 😊😊😊
Thank you, Donna.
Man im really sorry that you went through that during your cruise, im on day 4 and i can hardly sleep, have stomach pain, been to the bathroom over a thousand times, there is a day i will feel perfectly fine than the follow day im back to being sick again, all my life i have been sick on and off but OMG THIS IS THE MOTHER LOAD
on no…sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon.
So glad you’re feeling better!! Thanks for telling the story. It’s good to know these things!
Thank you, Cindy
Where have you been man? Hope all is well! Miss your videos...
Just dropped a new vid
Glad you are better! Love your videos!!
Thank you so much, Genny! :)
Very helpful to know what happens. Glad you got better finally
Thanks you, Susan.
I'm so sorry to hear you were sick. I'm glad you are feeling better. Happy cruising!!
Thank you
So glad you’re feeling better!
Thank you, Sonya!
So glad to hear you are feeling better, and you received good care after reaching out. Hope you are able to enjoy the remainder of your time onboard.
Thank you, Donna.
Glad to hear your are feeling better, and that you got good care during your bout with the virus. Take care and safe travels 😊
Thank you, Barbara.
So glad you are better! Take care.
Thank you, Kathy!
Sorry to hear about "your adventure". Thank you for sharing your story. Good to know what you did and how you got help. Hope you stay healthy.
Thank you, Patrick.
Hi, happy for you that you are better again. It's awful to be that sick. I was really surprised about the costs you were charged. I expected way more also because they had your room desinfected twice. Great service! And so good you didn't have to leave the ship on turn-around day. Enjoy the rest of your cruise! 💚
Thank you, Maya.
I was wondering where you were this weekend. Glad you are feeling better and back in action.
Thank you.
As a fellow recent noro recoverer, (not on a cruise ship) I FEEL YOUR PAIN! In all my 53 yrs I’ve never been as sick. I am so glad for you though that you were on a b2b cruise. Not sure you would have been able to board another ship feeling unwell. So glad you’re feeling better! 🧡
Yeah, I am glad it happened when it happened.
I have it right now and I feel like I’m dying. Seriously!!!! Everything hurts soooooooooo BAD! How come all these new viruses keep coming out and released to the public? What the FUCK is going on with the world today?
@@escape2064norovirus is way older than you and everyone on earth
Good to hear how well they all handled it.
Yeah, they really did.
i remember last time i got out of carnival cruise in new york, i had diarrhea when a trip ended and needed to find a toilet through the whole walk from the port.
Yikes
Happy to hear you’re feeling much better-what a story! I’m glad that Princess took good care of you they sound amazing! It’s good to know what happens when you get sick on board now I know thanks and keep well!
Thank you, Diva.
I’m so
Sorry you was so sick. Glad you are doing better. Hugs.
Thank you, Brenda.
I really appreciate you sharing your story! I’ve not yet been sick on a cruise but if I was I sure hope to have the kind of support you got. It’s very reassuring to know that kind of support is there, at least on Princess. I hope you stay well going forward. Continued happy and healthy sailing!
Thank you, Wanda!
First time to comment but have been avidly watching your cruise journey this year. Thank-you for your honesty and I’m sure this video will help many others who may be a bit concerned of the level of care that is available on cruise ships. Hopefully this video will become one of your most popular- a little gift that keeps on giving 😜🤣
haha...i like what you did there! Thank you, Erica!
Glad you are feeling better! Thanks for being realistic about the issues we may face on cruises. Good luck.🍀
Thank you, GG
So glad you are feeling good again Kevin! Wow, what a medical adventure. Thanks for sharing as this is real life and can happen to any of us. Now we can rest assured there’s excellent help and know what to exact. Glad this is behind you now. Be well and thanks again!
Thank you, Sandra.
So sorry you were so sick!!!!! Sounds like Princess has amazing protocols to clean your cabin so thoroughly!!!! Glad you are feeling better!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Super glad that you are ok now. Sounds like amazing service these guys gave you. Good for you and for them.
Thank you, Lior.
Thank God you are better. Horrible illness and you handled it like a pro.
Thanks, Jinnie.
I am so sorry you were sick! I didn't see you around the ship last week! I hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise!
Thank you Elaine! Sorry I missed you :(
Glad you’re feeling better!
Thank you
Nice to hear how well Princess handled your situation
Thank you, Cheri.
You poor thing. Glad you're doing better. It makes me want to bring a few more meds on my upcoming cruise, such as the ones you mentioned. I packed COVID tests and meds for that, but hadn't considered the Norovirus. Thanks for your story.😊
Thank you, Debra.
I am sorry you had to go through it. Glad you are better
Thank you
Thanks so much for your detailed experience. I liked hearing all the description of everything you went through. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like Princess is the way to go! My favorite cruise line by the way😊
No problem, Jen!
Great news you are sharing about feeling better. Man, that was ROUGH.
The cost… wow. That is wonderful it was not thousands of dollars and the ship keep your quarantined on turn around day.
I am a Princess cruise line person but kudos to them. I am impressed by what they did for you.
Yeah, they were pretty good.
Glad you have bounced back. Sounds like things went as well as one could hope for in that situation. My head is spinning trying to imagine getting home if I was going through that on disembarkation day.
Yeah, I think I would have got a hotel close if that was the case.
Longtime listener, first time caller. Love your channel and this video is an example of why it’s so great! We have all experienced illness like this and need to talk about it more because I’ve learned so much about norovirus , what symptoms to look for, and what to do if you find yourself very ill while on a cruise. Also have to say, it’s wonderful to learn about the Princess way of customer service. Top notch! Glad you are feeling better!
awww thanks for commenting 🙏
I feel so bad for you. I am really glad you feel better.
Thank you
Wow! That is great care & support Kevin. But you are almost family to these guys at this point!!
Haha! Good point!
So glad you're feeling better. I feel your pain...literally. Three days into our 2017 world cruise I came down with it. It's funny that I thought it was food poisoning at first as well. Then I felt a little better before it really hit. We had Imodium and other meds so didn't need anything from the medical center. One mistake I think you made is not calling them sooner. If you didn't have Imodium or the like already it would have helped taking it earlier in your illness. I was on HAL but of course they had the hazmat guys too. It was weird having that going on in your cabin. When I was finally released from quarantine they told me they had deactivated my cruise card (and would now reactivate it) so I was on double secret quarantine and didn't even know it.
Many people who have had it told me they too felt sick, then a little better (going to dinner, theater, etc) before really getting sick. That must be how it spreads so easily on a ship.
Yeah, definitely should have called earlier. And Ill be updating my own medical kit.
So glad you’re on the mend! And yay to Princess for being so on top of things. I wonder if you could’ve started those other meds earlier if it would’ve subsided earlier? Packing now for a cruise and I have two of the three mats you mentioned in my bag. Hope they stay there.
That is a good question. I definitely think they would have helped.
Thanks for the info, so glad to hear that you were well taken care of by Princess.I think I would have been scared that they might evacuate me. So glad you’re better!
I was thinking they might!
I'm sure glad you made it through all right, Kevin. Allison had mentioned that you had the norovirus in one of her live videos. Sounds to me like the crew on the ship really were excellent. Good to hear that they didn't make you go through the usual customs process for the back-to-back cruisers.
I was so grateful to no have to leave the ship on turnaround day!
Kevin, I'm so relieved that everything went well and you are feeling better. You look great, and I noticed how skinny you look. I know it was hell going through it, and believe me, I sympathize w/ you 100%. In October, I had an outer and inner ear infection that led to Shingles. I was sick as a dog, and lost 17 lbs in one week. I had a fever, throwing up, kept going to the bathroom, you name it. But I got through it after going to the ER, and getting meds. I'm just happy you are doing well. I love Princess, and hope to run into you someday on one of their ships. Take care and great work with your excellent content.
Oh wow...shingles scares me as well! I hope to see you out here as well!
Miss your videos! I hope your break is going well. Looking forward to your return. Your videos are very well done and informative. I always look forward to watching them.
Thanks! I am doing well! :)
Wow what an ordeal ! You got it bad with it lasting so many days! Glad to hear you were well taken care of and you are better now! This is one cruise you won't soon forget!
Thank you, Debbie!
Great meeting you on the ship last week and hearing you had fully recovered. We had the best weather for that cruise, and we escaped the Noro!
Hi Carol! So glad you avoided it!
Thank you so much for covering this topic! I've always wondered what would happen and how much it would cost if someone had norovirus or something like it on a cruise. And kudos to you for being considerate and staying away from other passengers. 👍
Thank you, Lisa.
VALUABLE INFO!!! So important that you shared your experience- thank you!!! Was wondering what the procedure & preparation would be 😮 Glad you are feeling better ❤
Thank you, Jan.
Hate to give a thumbs up when you are talking about illness but it was valuable information. Glad you are well.
It’s really rough to be that sick and so incapacitated. Sounds like the cruise line handled everything extremely well. Too bad there’s no cure for the Noro virus and a person has to just treat the symptoms. Good to hear that you’re feeling better. Take care and enjoy the rest of your time cruising 😊
Thank you, Lori.
I’m really sorry. I honestly wasn’t aware. I’m really glad you’re feeling better.
Thanks, Denny.
Hi Kevin! Great video, very helpful if people get sick on their cruise! You are very open and honest. Thanks for sharing! 🌹 Red
Thank you, Red!
@@30AndAWakeUp You're welcome!
Oh man, what a bummer. I was so relieved when you said you didn’t have to leave the ship!
Yeah, that would have made it so much worse.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I’m an RN and got norovirus at work and I was trying to give report to another nurse so I could leave and I started throwing up right in the middle of it. Then it was pouring rain driving home so I had to smell myself all the way. I was down for 6 days!! It was awful!! When we were on Celebrity Beyond we caught Covid and had to go to medical and they gave us percogesic (like Tylenol) and charged us $50.
Yikes! Bad Celebrity!
So glad you are feeling better. They took good care of you! The only time I have ever felt that sick was when I had a kidney infection. Ended up in the hospital with sepsis. Pure misery but recovered nicely. Wishing you smooth sailing from here on!
Thank you, Sherie.
@@30AndAWakeUp Welcome!
I have had what I just called the “flu” but same exact symptoms but at HOME and it was awful lol. Glad that the medical staff and Princess took well care of you! Thanks for sharing your experience especially Princess’ response.
Thank you, Ann.
I am glad that you recovered from that illness. Do you have any more videos of your cruise experiences coming up anytime soon? These videos, specifically on your cruise experiences, have been very informative. I want to do this one day, cruise the world and enjoy the inclusive amenities on different ships. So please keep posting! Thanks!
I just dropped a new vid!
So glad you are feeling better now. I’m going on Caribbean Princess on Sat, April 29 for a 14 day cruise. I’m hearing they are still dealing with this virus. Good to hear if one is sick on turnaround day, they don’t make you leave. I’ll be sure to bring all those meds with me next week.
I was on her in Jan 2023 when they had an outbreak of it also. I was already staying in my cabin with a head cold half way through the cruise. Crossing fingers and toes I get to make this trip unscathed.
Talking about medical cost, I had a medical issue with my blood pressure on my April 2nd cruise on NCL. Spent 3 1/2 hrs in MC and it cost $3500. Thank goodness for Travel Insurance.
Happy Cruising!!!
Oh wow!!!! That's crazy!
Wow. Just ... wow. So glad you're feeling better. I like Princess and got sick once, on an Alaskan cruise. Just a cold - I think I was run down from all the stress of planning and packing and nearly missing the ship. I did miss Glacier Bay on the cruise. During this video I went from saying "Never again!" to thinking, "Well, they took pretty good care of you. Maybe I could chance it." I don't know if I'll cruise again, but I thank you for this informative video.
No problem :)
I just saw this video... I was wondering where you had disappeared to... In so sorry you were sick, but I'm glad you are better now! It was great meeting you and I wish you a great continuation of your year!
Thank you, Lyne! I never got a pic with Captain Hudson :(
Seems like they looked after you well. Glad you are feeling better now Kevin. Back to enjoying it now for you. Jonathan 🇬🇧
Thank you, Jonathan!
Glad you are OK now. Take care when cruising.
thank you
So glad you are feeeling better.
Thank you
Oh, no, Kevin! I missed your previous posts! I'm glad you're on the upside, but what an experience :( ! I pray you don't deal with this again. Your descriptions are awesome, btw!! lol Much love!
Thanks, Teri! :)
Glad youre feeling better!!
Thank you, Cait! :)
wow that sounds horrific. i hope you dont go through that again for a very long time. glad youre feeling better :)
Thank you, Debbie!
So pleased you’re feeling better. Wow! Princess took really good care of you, when you weren’t able to care for yourself. Kudos to them. The bill for your medical care was amazing, I paid more than that in a pharmacy in the Canaries for throat Lozenges whilst on a cruise(not Princess). Loving your videos. 👍
Yeah, I was impressed!
H* Kevin, I am so so sorry you were sick . What an amazing experience! Lol Have safe and blessed travels. LUCRETIA 🎉
Thanks, Lucretia! :)
Hi Kevin!
Glad you're over that! Sounds like a night-mare. As a Canadian, I've heard about those horrific charges if you need medical assistance, although I suspect those huge bills only apply to being in the ship's actual medical facility. Probably, the cruise lines consider Noro-virus as something of a cost of doing business, and medications, outside of the US are often much cheaper to aquire. Nonetheless, I'm glad you were treated so well.
After gastro- intestinal bugs, some of the best foods to eat include greek yogurt and broccoli (probably not together tho...). The yogurt helps the lining in your digestive tract, and broccoli has been described as an intestinal/ microbial "scrubber". I've personally found both of these helpful in recovering from food-borne illness.
Thanks for the great info,again!
Cheers!..from North Vancouver
Thanks for the tips Adrian. Definitely do that next time
I just came across your video and I have to say I loved all the details. We always sail with NCL and last cruise my boyfriend got so sick we think from drinking the water in Dominican Republic (he was so dehydrated from walking around and sugar was low..it was a bad and desperate situation) anyway he got so sick as you did and we were told just to see the medic on board to be evaluated would cost $200! You made out like a bandit! NCL could learn a thing or two from Princess in this case. Thanks again for such an informative video. Glad it all worked out for you👍
Oh wow! I’ll keep that in mind when I sail NCL
So glad that you were able to stay on the ship rather than having to drag yourself off! I'm facing my first longer cruise and this is my worst nightmare! Will stock up on OTC medication.
i always bring day and night time stuff....some ibuprofen....
Kevin, sorry to hear you got it, and that you had it so bad. Now I know why we were never able to meet up and share our military/law practice stories: we were each suffering with our own respective cases of noro -- because I caught it, too. My symptoms began on Wednesday morning (the 19th) after we came back aboard in Belize. The first 2 days were really rough. Like you, it started with the bowel issues, but by late night of that first night, it had progressed -- and I was also dealing with extreme dizziness, a horrible, nonstop headache, body aches, chills, fever, and then nausea and some vomiting (not nearly as much as you). Thank goodness every one in our family each had our own inside cabin, so I could safely self-quarantine. Thankfully I had also packed lots of meds to help control the symptoms: Imodium for diarrhea, Tylenol and Advil for aches and fever, Meclizine for dizziness, and Emetrol for nausea and vomiting. Like you, the only position in which I was reasonably comfortable was laying on my side in the dark, just staring at my TV and dozing in and out. My husband would periodically knock at my door to see if I needed anything, but I was feeling too sick to eat anything. All I consumed for 2 full days was sips of sodas from my minibar that I allowed to go flat. I barely slept for 3 nights. We disembarked on Saturday, and I just stayed on the sofa all weekend. I am finally feeling almost all better, but it has taken much longer than the 1-3 days they say noro usually lasts. Here's to us both feeling better and to maybe meeting up another time.
Yikes! Sorry we did get to meet as well and sorry you had to go through that.
@@30AndAWakeUp This was my first time ever getting it and I hope the last. Sea sickness, yes, while on landing craft in the military, but noro, never. Till now. And I hope never again.
Not seen a video from you in 4 months!... Hope you're OK!
Just dropped a new one!!!
I'm so sorry you got sick. Mighty glad you're ok now! Watching video now.
I couldn't figure out how I didn't know you were sick! I poked around, and there it was on your community page. I'm both sorry and not sorry I didn't know you were sick til just now. You know my worry would've kicked into overdrive. I might have had to fly out there, muscle my way onto the ship with a big scary posse to get you out of there, and get to a top notch hospital. Fortunately, it looks like all's well that ends well. (I'd really like to know how I don't get notifications from the community page.)
Ke Le..... You are one terrific person! I love Kevin, I love his channel, I admire the h*** out of him.... But he doesn't deserve you. NONE OF US DESERVE YOU!! You are just one in a million!

@@30AndAWakeUp so cool 😎… you work so hard. You content has really inspired myself… I’m even buying the wool shirts lol 😂 damn you!
I’m glad to see the ships are full again covid was like a blessing for me. I brought 15,000 shares of carnival stocks at 6$ a share and also invested in the other major cruise ships they all double in value since i purchased them. Carnival will be a 60$ a share stock again by 2026. Keep cruising people.
Very cool!
What an awful experience! A relative is a nurse and just went through this. She had to have an IV. Guessing you would have benefited from one too. Sounds like they did an excellent job taking care of you. Glad you're on the mend. Hope you're able to find the guys who cleaned your room.
Thank you, Cindy. Yeah and IV would have been great.
Ohhh man! I felt your pain just from your doubled over thumbnail pic 😩. Glad you're back from the land of the Excorcist!!
haha...fortunately...i was just acting for that thumbnail pic! :)
Thanks for your detailed experience! The last thing we want to do on a cruise ship is to spend most of our time in the bathroom! Happy to hear Princess rose to the occasion in assistance.
Thanks, Veronica
My mom and dad got the norovirus too. Mom was really sick and in hospital for 2 days. Luckily she got it on the last day. That ship smelled and was terrible. Glad you are feeling better and talk soon.
Sorry to hear that and hopefully they are feeling better now.
Kappy would be jealous of 8lbs in that short of time! Great recap and info. I think this is invaluable data for those worried bout cruising in a post pandemic world. :)
haha...just water weight....Im sure I'll gain it back after a couple visits to endless pizza! I need to start marathon training again!
@@30AndAWakeUp I do miss the long conversations around the burn pit and airfield. We shall catch up soon given your new adventures and my living in purgatory's porch lol
Haha! Yes!
wow, how horrible, sounds really not fun. But good to hear Princess was really there to help and keep you ok and others ok as well. Always afraid of getting sick like on a cruise.
Yeah, it was bound to happen, just didn't think it'd be so awful.
Congrats on hitting that 100K mark. You should upload more!
Thanks :)
So glad you're feeling better. Commenting for the algorithm.
Thank you, J
That's awesome they didn't force you off the ship. I saw the heat team (I called it the vomit brigade) on one cruise. We were in rough seas and a large portion of the ship was sea sick. They'd come and rope off the area clean and then more on to the next. Not a job I could do.
Yeah, nothing but respect for those folks.
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I’m very impressed with how Princess handled this! I’ve had norovirus on a cruise, and it’s definitely no fun. I now always take some capsules of Activated Charcoal in my medicine bag, and take at the first sign of those bubble guts- works for food poisoning too. I also always take some electrolyte packs with me to replenish after bouts of vomiting/ diarrhea. I think that is why your body was craving the watermelon- it needed the potassium.
Yeah, definitely adjusting my little medical kit in the future.
Wow what an awful experience! Im so glad the ship was so accommodating and helpful! Im glad you are feeling so much better! What do you recommend as measures to take to protect yourself moving forward?
Honestly, I did all the recommended and still got it...I think it's just one of those things. If you're around it long enough, eventually you'll get it.
Getting sick overseas is no joke😮 I got sick in the Congo 🇨🇩 during my team days lost about 90 ibs and almost died. Glad you are on road to recovery... Great video 😊👍👍👍
Yikes! Yeah, it's definitely a risk we take traveling.
