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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Never ever drink out of the faucet. Always make sure you have bottled water. Never walk around Barefoot on the outer decks even the slightest cut bacterial water can into your bloodstream in some cases it can even get into the pores of your skin. Carnival and princess have a horrible problem with their Drainage Systems backing up so when you think you're walking through regular water you're actually walking through sewage. Constantly wash or sanitize your hands. You have no idea what surfaces other people onboard have touched. Even after washing your hands before getting food at the buffet line you need to wash your hands after you have used the buffet line because things like tongs and trays and surfaces in the buffet line may be contaminated. If you're going to use the spa or sauna make sure you bring two towels one for wiping your face and the other one for wrapping around you. Be very careful not to let the face towel touch any other surfaces. Another very common area to come in contact with Norwalk virus is in fact the hot tubs quite frankly it's best to just avoid them altogether. Every time you open a door or touch something realize think to yourself that you may be contaminated and need to wash your hands before putting your hand to your face. Carry hand sanitizer with you do not rely on the sanitizer stations on board the ship. All too often these stations are empty and even if they are full there is still risk the chance of it being contaminated simply by touching it. Even something as simple as touching an elevator button or holding the elevator door can get you contaminated. This might all sound like paranoia but it has already been proven this is how Norwalk virus is transferred and spread so quickly on board a cruise ship.

Very interesting. Glad you've recovered. Just for comparison, my spouse (who fits in the elderly group) caught cold on a back-to-back on Princess this past spring. Tons of people were coughing and our masks didn't help apparently. The cough worsened till she could hardly move around, bent over coughing every couple of minutes, coughing up a lot and finally went to the med center where they did a a great job, but told us initially $160. When finished the four meds alone (one an antibiotic) totalled $123 and with the xray, COVID test, blood tests, doctor's exam which diagnosed 'mild' pneumonia, etc., the total came to just about $1000 USD ($1400 Canadian). She recovered in about a week, except for the cracked ribs from coughing that took 2 months. Thankfully we had insurance. My advice would still be to call the med center sooner rather than later.

I've never had neuro on a cruise ship but have gotten quite ill sailing around the world. The worst was while doing medical volunteer work in Africa for I was in hospital for 3 weeks. I was too weak to be transferred, and eventually I recovered after being given who-knows-what IV meds. All I saw on that trip was the airport, one hotel room for one night and the inside of a hospital. A true busman's holiday for one who works in medicine

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!!!

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! 💚

Wow, what an experience, not easy being away from home while so sick! Good to hear you’re all better! They must’ve brought food to your cabin. Did they leave it on a small table by your door? On Emerald last month, there were several tables on our floor, but heard it was coronavirus. So happy to hear you didn’t have to get off the ship on Saturday!! It could take time to get back on, now that they were doing extra sanitizing before the new guests get on. We were home a week & get back on again this Saturday for the 14 niter. You still there then? ~Ellyn~

Just subscribed to your channel. I am so sorry you were so sick. Sounds like hell. Just want you to know that before I became disabled I was an RN. The watermelon was actually good for you. It replenished your electrolytes and kept you hydrated. Sometimes we have to listen to our bodies as they speak to what we need.

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👍
