Risky Business

<p>I agree whole heartedly with Vicki Ireland's review.</p> <p>All her points are very valid.</p> <p>As to the "tummy Bug" on board. This wasidentified as the Noro virus, A particularly virilent gastro intenstinal bug which cannot be cured by simply spraying.</p> <p>That being said here is my gripe: When we tardly arrived on the ship the Captain told us about it but we were not offered the oppurtunity to leave the ship and avoid infection. This talk was after we has sailed.</p> <p>I personnaly know of 9 other passengers who were comlpetley slayed with this illness. ( I have their names and details) I was particularly bad as I suffered for 5 days with vomiting blood and ectreting blood along with other unmentionables. That's more than half the cruise. My wife was struck down for 3 days and was severly ill.. My whole trip back was assisted per wheelchair.</p> <p>I was rushed to hospital on arrival in Cape Town where my haemaglobin measured only 7.2. A normanl male is 16. I am now recovering at home tho still very frail</p> <p>I would like to know Imagine cruising's reaction to our suffering and distress.</p> <p>A return of all fees and hospital bills seem to be the least they can do</p> <p>Sincerley</p> <p>Prof Cyril and Mrs Jen Karabus</p>
