No. It has nothing to do with it. Passengers who are ill refuse to stay home and they infect the whole ship. It happens every year. It could easily be prevented but people won't stay home! (the cruise line will let you rebook if you are ill).

No, I think people are sick when they get on the ship and people who are not germ conscious are the ones that get sick because they touch something and then put their hands on their mouth or eyes or whatever. The same thing could happen in your home if someone was sick and you did not take the necessary precautions to avoid getting what they have. I have been on seven cruises and have never gotten sick, but I do wash my hand all the time. It is something I do at home, so I just naturally do it when I am on a cruise. If the sickness had anything to do with the war, they would have more people dying, not just getting sick.

I think that cruise ships are very clean and sanitary, now days anyway. I was on a cruise last June and they make you sanitize your hands before you enter a resteraunt, before you come into contact with any food, and they have sanitizing stations all around the ships. I don't think that it's a huge deal if you exercise precaution. No one was sick that I know of on any of my cruises.

The Norovirus is caused by people going to the bathroom and not washing their hands. Here is an example...
Passenger 1 goes to the bathroom and does not wash their hands. It is dinner time so they leave their room and touch the door knob, then they push the elevator button on the outside and the inside. They then open the dining area door. Passenger 2 is getting ready for dinner. Washes his hands and leaves the stateroom. He then goes and pushes the same elevator button and opens the dining door. Now he eats. This is how the virus is spread. It has nothing to do with the War. You can get the Norovirus in a hotel, or at work, or anywhere else, but cruise ships are such confined spaces with lots of people that it is easily spread.

No, this is a virus that really takes off when people are in close contact.

I went on my first cruise in 2002. When we came into port their were three cruise lines cleaning their ships because all of them---including mine had come down with viruses. I do think that there could be more to the sicknesses than what people are being told.

no, sanitation onboard ships is very high (especially in the US). The USPH checks ships routinely and cruise lines try hard getting a 100 points score.

It is the passengers bringing deseases onboard and spreading them (like not washing hands after toilet use)
