How does the cruise ship industry survive repeated norovirus outbreaks?

More than 270 passengers sickened by norovirus on Royal Caribbean cruise

You couldn't get me on one of those floating petri dishes. And it's not like I'm squeamish--I live in the Orleans Parish.

There are thousands of cruises per year. The odds of getting sick on an individual cruise are extremely low. Nearly 12MM Americans took a cruise last year so it's still a very small number of people affected.

That’s like asking how an airline survives when a plane crashes.

So I guess we shouldnt fly international ever again.

Living scared isn't living.
Doesn't mean you don't weigh the odds in certain situations but given the number of passengers to illness, that is some lowball odds.

3% of passengers caught bug. Ship returned to doc 1 day early and all passengers were fully reimbursed. Id take those odds.

That ship holds 6K passengers.

Because this guy always turns a shitty situation around with a drink and some needed perspective.

Forget the rare outbreaks. Why would you want to spend your vacation floating with society's trash on a buoyant Golden Corral?

True! If you would have been a guest at my home on Dec. 23rd, you would have had a 2 in 3 chance of getting the virus. Let's just say it was a Christmas to remember for two thirds of our family.

I bet she did.
Did you eat the chicken fingers?

Go on a cruise and come home one day early AND get refunded the entire bill?
Where do I sign up?

I've never understood the draw of a cruise, but to each his own, I suppose.
