By the way I noticed that you made a similar post on the 04/01 with some paragraphs copied word for word:

YES! WHY? Is it a crime to copy and paste my own previous comments?
Maybe that would also justify a class action against me.
Have you ever worked for Carnival either now or in the past?
NO! Never on any ships or boats.
How would you say it is that you've become familiar with information that I'd imagine only cruise staff would be aware of, like passengers lying on their forms or passengers not having travel insurance?
It sounds like u never been a large cruise liner before, or the paper work needed to be filled in such as declaring you health status. Just line up and fill-in the pre-embarkation forms with people around u coughing and sneezing over you etc.
Or staff procedures regarding sanitation? If staff suspects there maybe an outbreak of Norovirus sanitizers appear at the lifts stairwells etc. Self-service are stopped and staff dish out the food.
You mentioned that "it's your experience" that passengers who frequent the buffet are the ones who come down with this bug.
If it was possible we would always try to avoid the buffet area and as yet have never caught the virus as yet.
The problems are the passengers not the food or the staff!
Unfortunately the risk factor has increased for us, due to Princess getting rid off the interior Pizza restaurant, and converting it into payed restaurant. On the shore days, we would always go there there if the dining rooms were closed.
Have you ever been on a ship where passengers have come down with the norovirus and how did you become aware which passengers got sick to the point where you're accurately able to correlate the data?
As I mentioned previously, I was on the New Guinea cruise where the media claimed about 90 people came down with the Norovirus. The media tried to make a feast out a famine. We just laughed after seeing this crap on TV that afternoon. It turned out that most had the influence virus when data came out.
If my recollection is correct that ship that we disembarked from, was heading for a NZ cruise.
The departure was delayed for sanitation and was given the OK by QLD Health(?)
