He obviously didn't keep the idea under his hat.

Fairly sure it must have been from the ship.
We hadn't been ashore for 3 days by the time I got sick.

It was really horrible too.
I was so bad, that I was sitting on the toilet and passed out.
Woke up when I threw up on myself. Did that twice. Then I had
to clean up the mess. It wasn't pretty.  

Final diagnosis was acute gastroenteropathy due to norwalk agent.
This would suggest a non bacterial virus, but they told me it was bacterial.
So really non the wiser as to what caused it.

Sorry to hear that,Dec.-Jan. has been a bad period for Cruise Ships in Australia,lots of Gastro. in varying degrees of seriousness.
Reports of Hepatitis on a Ship in Melbourne this Morning.
Some,i stress some, of the Indians(Goa?) working on those Ships worry me,despite regular Training their personal Hygiene leaves a lot to be desired.

Yikes

It was horrible

I would have thought that because the Ship was responsible for you getting Sick that they would Pay for the medical treatment instead if it coming out of your pocket?

No, they don't accept any responsibility.
I got $430 back on my travel insurance today.

Only 3 more days and our friend Goldy will be back from his cruise.
That 84 days sure went fast.

[trout]

It will probably take Goldie a few days to get his Land Legs back after nearly 3 months at Sea :angel:

[Ozcoins]

That has gone fast.  I hope it went well for him.

[Unicorn]

Good to see you back posting again Goldie! Hope you had a wonderful time!

[Goldseeker]

Yes, I/we are back from our three month cruise.   Arrived back on the 05 Apr 2017 and I have yet to get my land legs back.

As I'm type, I can still feel the motion of the Sea Princess, rocking and rolling around.

We hit the tail end of Cyclone Debbie after departing the Bay Of Islands in NZ and we had winds of up wards of 120kph and all outside decks were closed off.

Good to be home again and now catching up on a lot of entries on this forum.

I will be sending a few PM's re coins that I was able to secure/not secure.

Just in time for the new Woolies collectibles.

[Hercules]

What new Woollies collectables? Please don't tell me they're going to do the coloured $2 coin thing all over again! I'm absolutely sick of that, and I want to focus on noodling the new Anzac $2 coins.

Hahaha no. Nothing numismatic. They are round disc thingies with Marvel superheroes on them. One packet for every $20 spent. If I remember correctly Goldseeker likes to collect these.

Welcome back Goldie. Hope you had a great time.
